Everything was perfect except for the huge carpenter ants that were relentless. We had to put our dry goods in the fridge- nothing could be left on the counter or table. They were in the bathroom as well. Otherwise, the location was good, the cottage was clean and we loved the lake, kayaks, fire pit, etc.

We had a great time at your cabin! We stayed with my daughter and partners parents and had so much fun playing board games in this cozy cabin. My daughter especially enjoyed practicing her gymnastics in the large, clean yard with soft grass. We used the BBQ and ate out on the deck enjoying the quietness and beautiful view of the lake. The kayaks were a bonus to cruise around the lake as well. We were not far from the ferry to visit mackinac island. Everything was perfect. Thank you

Everything was perfect except for the huge carpenter ants everywhere. We had to keep everything in the fridge because ants were all over in the kitchen and bathroom.

Everything was great! Thank you

Needs air in bedrooms. But clean,had all kitchen things needed, close to town , the kayaks were great!!

The best little slice of lake life heaven! The cabin is super cute and the yard and fire pit area was perfect for our four children. We grilled outside and make pancake breakfast inside. They had row boats and kayaks everything you could want for paradise lake! Highly recommended!

Cozy cottage. Excellent location. Beautiful scenery.

Will definitely be back

Overall a nice cozy cabin on the lake. Bummed the dock wasn't in and couldn't use the boats but overall a good time was had.

Everything we thought it would be. Very nice

We enjoyed the beautiful yard, adirondack chairs, firepit and kayaks. Unfortunately, the cabin was extremely dark, extremely small especially the bathroom and the cabin was very damp and uncomfortable. We expected a lot more from the cabin at the price we were charged.

This is a really cozy cabin with an "up North" feel. The bedrooms are a fair size, but the beds are of the typical saggy spring variety. We slept great (probably because of the quiet and dark) but if you have back problems the beds will not help. The kitchen and bathroom are tiny. The shower just has faucet handles for the hot and cold, so I'm not sure if there is any anti-scald protection. If you plan to cook anything in the kitchen, make sure all of the windows are open. I baked a potato in the oven and it set off the fire alarms! As others have mentioned, the area by the lake is shared between the two cabins. The other cabin is larger, so you may find yourself in the company of a larger party. When we were there the other cabin was occupied by a couple, two children, and two grandparents. We did not have any conflicts with them, but it's something to consider if you're anti-social, or are concerned about possibly anti-social neighbors. I took out one of the kayaks, but found that the wind was pushing me around the lake. At 70, I found it not worth the hassle to fight the wind. Despite all of the caveats above, we had a very relaxing few days by the lake. If you want to explore the area, the cabin is closevery convenient to Mackinac Island, Mackinaw City, Cheboygan, St. Ignace, and Headlands International Dark Sky Park. The Harbor Lights Grill is just a couple of miles down Paradise Lake Rd, and serves an excellent whitefish dinner.

Excellent location and overall property. Interior was clean and comfortable. Lots of toys to use, nice swimming area, great fire pit. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice, central location. Close to Mackinaw City and a short drive to Petoskey. We enjoyed the kayaks and the fire pit after each day of adventuring.

The property was as described. Very clean and well stocked with normal essentials. Nice view, quiet and relaxing. The hosts were very responsive to questions (very good customer service). We went kayaking, swam, enjoyed meals on the deck, and had a nice bonfire by the lake. Close to a lot of attractions and things to do. Highly recommend this rental and would not hesitate to go back.

Cute little cottage! We really enjoyed our stay. Perfect for our quick getaway. It was great to be so close to Mackinac City and St. Ignace but still be out in the quiet zone. We made great use of the kayaks - fabulous! Enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake, as well as picnic tables down at the dock. Downsides were as advertised/pictured: the fact that the property contains two cottages which are an arms length apart, and share a backyard/lake access, does create a privacy issue, especially with no shades on the windows. In addition, the bathroom and shower are teeny tiny :) But again, this was all stated on the listing - just a little more dramatic in real life. We had a great time!

The cottage was very clean. They had pest deterrent devices plugged into several plugs and that may have been why I never saw a single bug inside the cottage. Just like it says in the listing there is another cottage on the property, but it was much closer than I imagined. This was not a problem for us because the other family was quiet and nice, but if you want a more solitary experience, you will be disappointed. The lake was nice and we went out on the rowboat. There is a fire pit and several chairs to sit on down by the lake. It was a great house!

This property was all that we hoped it would be based on the listing. The walk down to the lake is short and we enjoyed nights at the fire pit and fishing. The equipment is in good shape and Mackinaw Island is easily accessible.
