Great spot on the lake , with a very of a big oak tree that hung in the water blocking the view, the cabin was just an empty box , no homy feeling, bare dusty walls , charged 150 for my dogs being there , which I don't get. There's no damage my dogs could do to this place that isn't done already. Love the lake , but would not stay here again.front door didn't even close right.not much for cooking supplies either. Sorry but you need to do some work around here. Instead of just taking people's money.

We loved our stay. Beautiful view on the water. Cabin was cozy and charming. Richie was there to greet us. He was a fantastic host.

The cabin was as advertised. Very cute old-style cabin. Windows were kept open due to the wonderful breeze blowing off from the lake. We would spend time on the porch when the sun came up and, in the afternoon, would sit out by the lake and watch the people going around on their boats. It was very quiet and relaxing. We would definitely stay again!!!

Quite small, but just fine for me, my husband and dog. Right on lake.

We love coming here every winter. It is quiet, cozy, tidy, and simply all we need. Ritchie is great - very welcoming. Clyde's across the road makes a great pizza too!

My husband became very sick on our way to our cabin. I had to take him home immediately and then I called the Doctor and we did a video appointment. My husband was at the Oncologist/Hematologist that morning and received his treatments. He had a reaction to one of the medication he received. I can show proof of his treatment.

The cabin was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the view of the lake and the stars. The sun rises from over the lake were absolutely breathtaking. Check in process was easy and communication with property owner Ritchie was good. We look forward to staying at 7Lakeside Cabins again real soon.

NICE

I rented this cabin online never having been to Mackinaw City. At the time I didn't realize it was a VRBO rental. With a 15 Hour drive we didn't get there until 9 PM but we called Ritchie the Owner and he was very understanding and said he would be there to welcome us which he was. The cabin was clean and well stocked. The only problem I had was the shower nozzle was HORRILBILE! The water just SPRAYED out in a mist!

Welcomed warm cabin on a chilling day. Experienced what that past visitors must have enjoyed, even back in the early days ...1920's .

Convenient location to other interests, we liked the cabin! We will come back!

Very pleasant

If you are looking for a no frills place to base a Macinac trip, this fits the bill. There is no AC and just the basics at a group of 7 1920's little cabins on a quiet lake 6 miles south of Mackinaw City. The owner is friendly and helpful and there is a nice cafe on the water a short walk away. My daughter and I didn't want to leave and hope to go back next year.

Had a great time. Everyone was friendly, clean and neat cabin, loved how the water was just feet from the back door. Overall great time. Just wish the fishing would have went better.

Awesome

Cute and comfortable.

This cabin is located very close to Mackinaw City which we loved! Cabin 5 had a great sunroom we enjoyed each morning. The cabin was perfect for all our needs especially being local to areas like Mackinaw City, St. Ignace, and an hour away from Sault St Marie. Great communication with the host who was there for any questions we had regarding travel or local restaurants. The cabin and yard space by the water was very clean and nicely set up. We definitely will stay again!

If you are planning fishing, snowmobiling, hiking, exploring in the Mackinaw City area, or even just looking for a quiet winter hideaway, this place is cozy, comfortable, and welcoming. The sunrises over Carp Lake are so beautiful. The accommodations are simple and clean, but the provisions are basic, so bring your own "extras" or conveniences. I've only been the winter, so it is pretty peaceful and quiet. I love this spot and can't wait to come again.

Affordable, clean, comfortable, and enjoyable! These cabins are so clean and cozy, and they are in the perfect location. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. We had absolutely everything we needed (and if we didn't, all you had to do was ask) and can't wait to come back up and stay again. Thank you for the great hospitality!

I just went up for a getaway weekend and it was very relaxing with my dog. It’s nice it’s dog friendly. Everything was very clean. Definitely an older cabin so was a little drafty and I went on a very cold weekend(-14 with windchill) , but the fireplace in the bedroom kept it warm. It was nice being in winter there was also a smart tv in the bedroom. It was very pretty and quiet area Highly recommended.

Super cool place, awesome owner, great experience. Can’t wait to come back.

Very nice place. Not fancy but exactly what you should expect for the old "cabin resort" type property. Amazing location for views. Great owner. About the best location for being close to everything yet feeling secluded. Great restaurant for breakfast and dinner just 3 minits away. Pretty perfect! We'll be back.

We had a great time. We used it for a central place while we drove to the major cities. We also had an amazing honeymoon.

My partner, dogs, and I loved our stay at Lakeside Cabins. The sunrise and sunset views of Carp Lake were stunning and the ferry to Mackinac Island was only 15 minutes away.

the lake an Cabin

Smallish bedroom, but decent sized in the kitchen and nice screened-in porch. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was very small but doable. No mildew smell. We sat on the back patio and enjoyed the evening. We didn't get around to lighting a fire in the fire pit, but would have liked to. You could hear the waves lapping the shore, making for a nice atmosphere. The cabins one either side had people with firepits and they did talk into the night, but they weren't rowdy. I could imagine, depending on who was there, it could keep a person up. I could hear them fairly late, but it wasn't disruptive.

Overall a wonderful stay! So close to mackinaw city but far enough away to still be quite and relaxed without the hustle of the tourist town! The lake itself is beautiful! And you truly couldn’t be any closer to the water! Already planning our next trip here! Thank you!

A little disappointed that we couldn't fish off the dock- too shallow water. Everything else was great.

It was clean and all we needed. Kayak rates were a little high but still a lot of fun.

Loved the cabin. Enjoyed seeing the lake behind the cabin. Everything was exactly and enjoyable. Its quite and peaceful. Any one looking for relaxing place to stay, this is a good place.

I took my first road trip by myself and stayed here for 2 nights. I couldn't have been happier with my stay. The cabin was extremely clean and a perfect size for myself, or two people. The lake view is absolutely perfect! Everyone I encountered were friendly and helpful. Infe lm t safe and cant wait for another trip.

We were greeted by the property manager who had firewood and kindling for sale. Our room was ready and warm. The cabin was much more spacious than anticipated from photos. There was free wifi with hulu/netflix/roku/other streaming available on the in-cabin smart TV. The cabin was close enough to local parks and attractions but far enough from city lights that we could see every star. The only issue we had was that the furnace wasn't working, however, the electric heater was plenty warm enough for the cabin.
