About this cottage rental

This cozy cottage is the largest of 3 on a large wooded lot on the west side of town. Outside is a park like setting with firepits, charcoal grill, and outdoor seating. A large deck is perfect for family meals or just relaxing. It was completely renovated in 2013 (with smaller updates since) with a cottage theme in color and décor. The full kitchen includes a dishwasher and is equipped to prepare all your meals. It has 1 1/2 baths which include a washer and dryer. There are 2 bedrooms- each has a queen bed. The living room has a tv with cable, books and games. (NOTE- the loft is no longer available for sleeping).The cheery back porch has a day bed with trundle- perfect for reading or taking a nap. This comfortable cottage is well suited for families of all ages, couples, and business travelers as internet is included. An added benefit is that all 3 cottages on this large property can be rented for larger groups/families.
There is much to see and do with in walking distance- from shops, restaurants and ferries to Mackinac Island to beaches and hiking trails. And just a short drive away is The Headlands (a dark sky park), Wilderness State Park, M119 Tunnel of Trees, and the famous Mackinac Bridge leading to the beautiful Upper Peninsula.

We love this location! This is our second time staying with little kiddos and our first time walking as much as possible. It truly is the perfect location in a quiet neighborhood but walkable to the fort, parks, food, and even the ferry. The house itself has everything you need to rest and get ready for the next adventure!

This cozy, clean two bedroom home was perfect for two grandparents and two grandchildren. A yard big enough for the kids to play in. Outdoor fire pit to take in the beautiful summer nights. Convenient to Mackinaw City, Fort Mackinaw and Mackinac Island ferries. We had a great stay.

Great location. Accommodations were perfect for our needs. It could have had tissues and paper towels. The sponge should have been replaced. Wonderful time on Mackinac Island. We took a horse and carriage tour. It was great. We enjoyed shopping and dining in town. Took a ride over Mighty Mac to the Soo Locks. Fun time

This property is beautiful. It's close to everything in town. The hammock outside is quite peaceful. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean besides one pan. The hosts were able to resolve an issue we had at a check in quickly. Make sure to read the book on the table showing the renovations.

We loved staying in the Dutch Harbour house. Has everything you need. We really loved the patio spent every night there had a couple fires. My daughter loved the hammock. We would definitely stay here again. Anything in everything you could wanna do is just a very, very short distance away.

We just love these cottages. With this visit we have now stayed in all three. Everything was as pictured. The ceiling fans were helpful with giving an even temper to the home, as the heat/cooling is located in the living area. Additional fans were located in the bedrooms, as were extra blankets. We visited for the end of lilac festival and really enjoyed have a small, but fragrant lilac in the yard. Firewood is available for purchase on site for $5 cash. You may want to bring some small kindling as starter. A grill lighter was in the kitchen drawer. The grills are charcoal. There is usually some left from previous renters, but that is not a given. The store is just a 10 minute walk, but it is a bit expensive. We generally come with supplies, as grocery options are limited in Mackinaw. The ice maker was not operational, so I walked 2 minutes to the smoked fish and jerky store on the back side of the block and purchased a bag of ice. I then dumped it into the ice bin and dispensed it directly from the refrigerator. We definitely recommend this property and plan to return, repeatedly. Note: bring your own TP to avoid having to purchase. Renters are responsible for restocking two rolls per bathroom upon departure. Thanks for sharing your lovely cottage.

The cottage was as advertised! It was a perfect stay for our time in Mackinac City and easy access to the Island. It was cozy, well appointed, and clearly a labor of love! We highly recommend a stay at Dutch Harbor! Our trip was capped off with delicious hot dogs at Weinerlicious - a must if you are in town!!😉

This VRBO was awesome! Last minute decision to re-route our road trip to Mackinaw City. We booked a day in advance and we were very pleased with our choice! Clean, cozy and close to everything! It's just what we needed for a couple days of R&R before we hit the road again! I would definitely stay here again! :)

The house was charming, but has some quirks that I think could be fixed or could have been addressed. A couple of the doorknobs kept falling off randomly and it would be great if the ice maker was working! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay though and would definitely recommend!!

This remodeled cabin was not only comfortable but tastefully decorated. The outdoor deck provided a peaceful spot amidst the beautiful flowers and hosta. The beach was several blocks away… beautiful sunsets. This was an ideal location.

My daughter, two granddaughters and I enjoyed staying at the cottage between sightseeing in the city, island and go over the bridge to the up. There was enough space for the four of us after a busy day. Location was fabulous to go across the Mackinaw bridge to spend time in the UP or go to Mackinaw Island and walk to Mackinaw City to all the shops.

Our family of five stayed here and it was just big enough for all of us to be comfortable. It was clean, cozy and had all the amenities we would ever need. It was a great location, we were able to walk downtown and to Shepler's Ferry every day to take to the island. The owners have done a great job of making it feel like a home away from home. We would stay again and recommend to friends and family!

The property was clean and easy to find. The owners were so helpful. We had several questions and they were always avaliable. The cottage is in a beautiful area and we were able to sit on our front porch and feed squirrels and chipmuncks. I would stay here again without question

We came up for our niece’s wedding. Weather was cold and windy. We used all of the blankets, but the space heater in the bedroom made all the difference. Our granddaughter (staying at the other cabin) enjoyed exploring the loft.

We loved our stay in this adorable renovated cottage! It’s only a short bike ride or walk to all the little shops and restaurants uptown. It was stocked with pretty much anything you could need. My only small complaint was there wasn’t any paper towels. But other than that we loved it and would definitely stay again!

Nice, comfortable, quiet cute cottage and great décor. Nice surprise to find newly installed A/C! Wonderful enclosed porch. Two other cabins are close by and share an outdoor area but it didn't feel intrusive, nice deck and firepit area. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Suggestions: upgrade at least a piece or two of the cookware, include toilet paper and get more towels if needed vs. one shower per day. The little laminated notes with restrictions about showering and toilet paper seemed odd and overly/unnecessarily controlling as you have laundry available.

This house was perfectly located for in town activities but yet far enough to relax quietly and peacefully around the campfire. Awesome hospitality from the hosts also! Definitely will stay here again!
