Absolutely perfect cabin in a PRIME location!!! Escape to our peaceful cabin located in a nature dense and secluded part of Carp Lake just minutes away from public access, marina where boats can be rented, a local favorite bar, and a yummy lakeside restaurant that are all walking distance away. This cute little cabin is 2 bedrooms and one bathroom with a spacious living area and kitchen for the whole family to enjoy! Also has a fire pit for those cozy nights under the stars and s’mores!

Love being in the woods, away from everyday stress. Dogs had a great time also❤️

A very small and comfortable cabin. We were 2 families of 3 people each. Everything was provided as mentioned in the website. I would advise to reach the place before it gets dark at least while you are checking in. The kids also enjoyed the stay. It was within 10 min of driving distance from the Mackinaw Is Ferry day parking lots!

This property doesn't have direct lake access, but it is nearby lots of quaint beach heads and ferries to the island. Reasonable amenities, reasonable hosts that aren't weirdos, very quiet area.
Beds were absurdly comfortable. Everybody slept great!

The property was very nice, well maintained and cozy. I will definitely stay here again.

My husband and I drove from Madison through the UP along Hwy 2 . It was a gorgeous drive with lots of views of Lake Michigan and many parks for our energetic dog to chase balls. The Mackinac Bridge and ferry to Mackinac Island were just 10 minutes from our cabin. My dog and I walked about a mile into Carp Lake proper. It was very quiet this time of the year... Harbor Lights Grille has a nice view of Paradise Lake. We had a beautiful motorcycle ride through the Tunnel of Trees... Harbor Springs has good restaurants and shops/Trillium Woods serves delicious coffee. Highly recommend checking out the Dark Skies Trails along Lake Michigan. This cabin is a great location. It was plenty big for 2 adults and a dog. The beds were very comfortable. Kuerig coffee was delicious. Photos represent this quirky, old cabin adequately. We had a great 4 nights.... could have stayed longer as there is so much to explore

We loved our stay at this cabin! Only about a 10 minute drive to Mackinaw City, and quiet and peaceful allowing privacy. We brought our dogs with us and they did great! The house was very clean. We will definitely go back. :)

Cool little cabin in the woods! Just what we were looking for. Very clean, and cozy. Like camping with a house instead of a tent. Loved it!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay as it was in a good location.

So this cabin is ok. We VRBO a fair amount and have had few disappointments over the years. It would be next to imposable to house six people here and if so they would need to VERY close. There was barley enough pots and pans to prepare meals for three of us, if there were more of us it would not have been posable.
Someone last year mentioned the fact that there were only two coffee cups. This is still the case. There is not a table that is functional enough to comfortably eat your food. There is barely enough seating for three people so bring your camping chairs if you have more . No instructions on what to do with your garbage at check out. Dog hair all over rugs so I am not sure why we were charged a $100 cleaning fee in advance. Bring Keerug cups with you as that is your coffee preparations. Carpenter ants were found throughout the cabin, and it was said to a previous occupant "your up North in a cabin its to be expected". This is not a reasonable response. We lived in the woods in Northern Michigan for 25 years so I would know. It is about a mile to the local pub so it is walkable but its a bit of a hike. Sorry for the less than glowing review but you need to up your "game" a bit and be a little clearer on what you are renting out.

The cabin was clean, a little hard to find as it sat back on a long drive. After we found it it was easy. Very comfortable, would have been better for 4 people but we made it work just fine.

My husband and I had six days with no children so we booked this property near MacKinaw City. The location was great. Close to a rails to trails bike paths and MacKinaw City. It is a quiet, wooded area that feels very secluded. We enjoyed hiking, biking and exploring the area. Harbor Lights Grille gave a lovely view of Carp Lake. The host was amazing with communication. Responding to emails very quickly. You should know that the property is very old and shows signs of that age. There were a few issues that we had with the property and the host has assured us that those issues will be resolved for future visitors. Given how responsive she was to our needs and requests, I trust that she will follow up on those promises and that this property will provide travelers with a welcome, rustic experience.

Cozy private cabin in close proximity to Mackinac City and Ferry to island. The lot has one other cabin, but they are spaced far enough apart that you have ample privacy .Was a little smaller than we would have preferred for 4 nights (bedrooms and bath are quite small). However there is ample storage space in kitchens, bedrooms and bath for clothes, food, toiletries. The owners are new to VRBO so are still purchasing a few kitchen items, so if you want to know if they have a particular kitchen tool, ask in advance. They were very responsive to suggestions of items to buy to meet guests' needs. There is a nice beach area within a few miles off of Wilderness Park Drive nearby, a state park with good hiking trails, and a self guided history tour (free, outside) at McGulpin Point lighthouse. We did not do the Dark Sky viewing area at night but it looks fantastic! Also a couple casual but good restaurants very nearby un addition to Mackinaw City and the Island.
