About this cottage rental
A small, cozy, lakefront cottage is ready to be your perfect, peaceful retreat just 7 miles south of Mackinaw City. The original knotty pine walls add to the charm of this cottage built in the early 1940s. Updates have been made to the technology (TV & WiFi), bathroom, and kitchen to make your stay convenient and comfortable.
The lake is shallow, refreshing and clear! If you’re an angler- ask about a spot at our dock! Use our kayaks or float toys to connect with water or play in the large yard. There is lots of room to play or lots of ways to rest, including chairs and a hammock. If you’re a cook, there is no better dinner than the one you can cook outside on the grill and eat at the lakeside picnic table. At night, the fire pit is the best place to share stories and watch for the northern lights!
Hope to see you soon!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin in Carp Lake. The setting was excellent, and being less than 15 minutes from Mackinaw made it a perfect location. Good for two couples.

We loved the setting. It was beautiful and tranquil. We do have a few suggestions. The lighting could be improved. It is not bright enough to read at night. The bathroom is very small. The shower is not accessible to anyone with mobility issues. We also suggest adding grab bars to the shower area. There was a problem, with the heater but the owner plans to get that resolved. Overall, we liked our stay, and we were happy we decided to stay at Carp Lake and not somewhere else where it would have been busier. The owners are next door and are friendly and helpful. We loved their dog.

Great Cottage on the lake. Very nice inside and out! Well stocked with kitchen and bathroom items and bed linens. The cottage is within 5-minutes of Mackinaw City making it the perfect spot to come back to after a day of shopping and exploring. Very well kept yard and peaceful surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Owner was very hands off, but not in a bad way. Place was spotless, cozy, and welcoming. Had a gas grill for us, had plates and utensils for us to use, loved all the lake access options. Owner takes great pride in this place, and has a little something for everyone. We would happily come back.

Cottage was everything as described. Relaxing and great location, a few minutes from Mackinaw City. Water was like glass and unbelievable the amount of stars to be seen at night. Can hear every sound of nature and the lake at night. Kayaked and BBQ'd and had great whitefish at the local restaurant. Everyone enjoyed the trip!

This was a great little cottage for our weekend away. Weather permitting, there is a lot available to do at the cottage without having to leave and head to town. I would definitely stay here again.

It was amazing that everything you need was in such a small, quaint cottage. The kitchen was perfect for cooking, the grill was a major bonus, fire pit and the lake was so calm and peaceful. Great for stargazing. We will be back!

Just beautiful and Relaxing

This cabin was very nice for our short stay. The lake was very peaceful with little traffic as it was Labor Day and the following 4 days. The neighboring houses were either empty or very quiet homeowners. Being close to Mackinaw City was a plus to be able to shop and tour. We would recommend this place for others, however since it is small, if would work best for a couple or couple with small children.
