About this property

Grandma's Cozy Sunset Cottage on Mullett Lake

This quaint, cozy lakefront cottage is on a quiet dead-end street and features a fabulous deck to BBQ, eat and entertain - overlooking 64 feet of shoreline on Mullett Lake. Located at the South East end of Mullett Lake in Pigeon Bay. Enjoy fabulous sunsets then roast marshmallows at the fire-pit, glorious sunsets and twinkling stars at night.

The combination walk-out beach and seawall with dock and mooring ball are excellent for small children and pets. The beautiful sand bottom and shallow water makes for great swimming. Take out the fishing boat, paddle boat or canoe to enjoy both the lake or the nearby Pigeon River. Watch river otter, turtles, ducks, swans, loons, or an occasional eagle fishing or walk one street over to Parrot's Point for morning runs, walks or bike rides. Take your boat along the 40 miles of Michigan's Inland waterway and enjoy!

Relax and make memories to cherish for a life time at this old-fashioned, up-north cottage, away from the hustle and bustle. Perfect for couples or a small family.

Great September get away

This is the second year we have stayed at Grandma's cabin. The house is just what you would expect from the name and we enjoyed it a lot. The location is perfect with easy access to marina, and town for supplies. Besides, mother nature provided a rare weather gift for the week so we could spend every day on the water.

Thanks for the 5 star review Joe, so happy you enjoyed yourself. Very excited about the engagement of your grandson while vacationing. With the location and nature of the cabin we choose not to have wifi. I think a good week unplugged is good for the soul :)

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage! The location was perfect—right off the lake with gorgeous views, and just a short drive to downtown Indian River where we found some great local restaurants and a convenient grocery store. However, I would recommend driving a little further to Cheyboygan to save on groceries! The shallow water and walk-in beach entry were ideal for our young kids, and we spent hours swimming, splashing, and enjoying the beautiful sunsets each evening. It was only 30 minutes to Mackinac Island and city where we visited, and not too far from Harbor Springs and Petoskey, where we spent time too! It was also such a bonus to be able to bring our dog along to enjoy the trip with us. The only thing we would change is wishing the beds were a bit more comfortable, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.We made wonderful memories here and would happily stay again!

Perfect Cabin-3 adults

The cabin is clean and cozy. We had everything we needed. Kitchen had everything needed for cooking. Beds are comfortable and linens smelled wonderful. We hooked the boat to the morning and had no issues. The best part was the deck. Very big and roomy and the beach is step in ready with sand. Hosts were easy to contact

Cozy Cottage with Great Views

We loved the outdoor deck looking out to the water and the location near Pigeon River. We saw Eagles, Lunes and Belted Kingfishers. Enjoyed the boats. I was unable to sit on the matching couch and chair because of the dog dander and smell. I am allergic. Everything else was great.

Beds not made upon arrival. Floor not swept completely. Refrigerator not cleaned. Towels left in the dryer. Had to replace the shackle pin assembly on one of the two buoys. Dock can only be used for loading and unloading, not for storage. Buoys must be used.

Freshly folded sheets left on all beds upon arrival is our normal procedure. Brand new condiments left in refrigerator for your use. We apologize for the towels in dryer, they were taking longer to get dry and couldn’t get completed before your arrival. We will rethink check-out/arrival time for future guests. Bouys for boats is described in listing, dock is not meant for tying to or storage of boats.

Relaxing week at the lake.

Everything we needed for a relaxing week at the lake. Well stocked kitchen. The lake was very clear with nice sandy bottom, but too chilly for us to swim. The large picture window in the living room was great to enjoy the lake when it was too cool and windy to be outside on the deck. But it was mid September in northern Michigan and to be expected. We would definitely stay here again.

We actually ended up having 6 family members and 2 dogs! Even with only 2 actual bedrooms, we had plenty of room! Most all the time was spent outside on the deck or in the water anyways! Great place for little ones and all to swim!

We had a wonderful time during our week stay. Wish we would have stayed for the two weeks we originally had booked, but work called us back. It was a nice cozy cabin on a beautiful lake and minutes away from Indian River. Would absolutely come back.
