About this house rental

You won’t find a better location for peacefulness, family-friendly lake access, hiking and cycling, and proximity to Petoskey, Mackinaw and the upper peninsula. The location is so peaceful and quiet yet so close to everything Northern Michigan has to offer. The cottage rental includes spectacular sunsets, TrueStream fiber internet, dedicated fire pit, lawn games, kayaks/SUPs and much more

Sunset Shore (one of three properties available to rent on site) is a 1 bedroom Cottage that sits at the waters edge at the end of a wooded trail. It soaks in the breeze off Lake Paradise and rests in peace next to the quiet Stony Point Nature Preserve. This Preserve is a nature lovers paradise with a trail system that helps you hike it all.

A stone's throw lands you in the Carp Lake Township Park - a historic park nestled in the forest. Its tiny, but the swing set by the water is all you need to enjoy the serenity.

Moving closer to the cottage you'll find the dock with lots of water crafts to explore the lake with. Bring a pole, fish off the dock, or take a kayak out for a time you'll never forget.

Now inside the cottage, you'll meet the comfort of white-knotty pine everywhere. Pine adds a rustic and cozy ambience that can't be beat while reading by the stone fireplace. Vintage and homemade decorations add a dash of local charm.

Guests love that they feel like they're camping here without having to "rough it". You'll find a kitchen with modern appliances making homemade meals a pleasure. An updated bathroom with elegant tile and modern fixtures. Even a king size bed so you'll never feel cramped while sleeping.

There's no need to go to the park when you can live on one. Our guests always feel right at home here.

Please note we have two other cottages available on the property. Please see VRBO # 2131656 (sleeps up to 4) and 2131668 (sleeps up to 8).

* A special note to our early spring and late fall guests. It's cold during the shoulder months so please prepare. Our cottages are cute, but they're not equipped with central heating and cooling. You'll enjoy the cozy fireplace and we have a small electric heater but that's it. It's chilly so bring a sweater, a warm blanket, and enjoy the fall colors!

**The cottage shares the dock with 2 other cottages. Great location for extended family reunions.

Loved the lake side location and privacy. Had one very minor issue to communicate with the property manager and she responded quickly and handled the situation. We would love to stay again sometime.

We had a wonderful stay at this very cute, clean cabin. Everything in the cabin worked very well and as expected. The bed was comfy, the shower was great, and we enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. We especially appreciated the provided firewood, as it was a bit chilly outside.

The cabin was exceptionally clean and looks exactly like the photos. They had lawn games in the front yard and you’re right on the lake off the backyard. The host was informative on where to go and helpful when asking questions about the cabin. They mailed my child’s hat back to us without me realizing I left it behind. It was the perfect location to get the up north feeling yet not far from Mackinaw city and the island. Absolutely recommend and will be staying again!

This cottage was a little slice of heaven. The house had everything you needed to make a stay at the lake prefect. The view from thee cottage of the lake was beautiful. The owner and the care taker were very helpful and responsive. If we come back into the area we will stay again!

The cottage is recently renovated and is beautiful and spacious. The mattress was very comfortable. The cottage features a lovely sun porch which faces Paradise Lake and we spent a great deal of time there. It is a short drive to Mackinaw City and Wilderness State Park. Our stay was prior to Memorial Day and the area was very quiet and peaceful, however later in the season could be more active on the lake. It was perfect for the two of us.
