About this property

Stunning home in the heart of Topinabee, MI with Mullett Lake frontage.

This beautiful Northern Michigan home is located in a prime area with 100' of frontage on Mullett Lake, part of Michigan's famous inland waterway which allows you access to Lake Huron, Cheboygan River, Black River, Mullett Lake, Indian River, Burt Lake, Crooked River, and Crooked Lake.

In the home you will find a beautiful dining room with a gas fireplace, a large great room with a gas fireplace and windows overlooking Mullett Lake. The lower level of the home you will find a nice bar area for entertaining along with a hickory pool table, there is also a second living room in the lower level.

Attached to the upper level of the home you will find a beautiful trex deck overlooking Mullett Lake with a hot tub. Walking out from the lower level you step out onto a stunning paver patio with a beautiful firepit. Near the lakeshore you will find a 1600 sq foot patio with ample seating, a fire pit, gazebo, gas grill, and day cabin that has a couch and additional fridge to keep your drinks cold on a hot summer day. Great area for gathering the group and hanging out by the lakeshore. To top it off there is mooring buoys available for boats (boats cannot be tied to docks, fines applied if damage occurs).

For your convince there is also a well-stocked gas station/party store that is within walking distance of this property that has the best breakfast pizza around.

The above property is all season recreation. The summers are great for boating, jet skiing, fishing, sunbathing, and swimming. Fall and Spring are great for riding ATVs on the many miles of trails to the East of Mullett Lake. Winter is for snowmobiling, skiing, and ice fishing with close proximity to the snowmobile trail (the trail runs through our property), ski resorts and casinos.

Property is 5 miles North of Indian River, exit 310 off I-75. Four hours from Detroit and 30 mins from Pellston Regional Airport.

Wonderful Time

We had a wonderful week at this cabin. There was so much room and Jennifer was quick to respond to any questions. The house has a beautiful view and we would for sure stay here again. Mullett Lake is such a beautiful lake and the surrounding area has so much to offer and its a quick trip into Mackinaw or up to St. Ignace.

Review

We have stayed at this lake home 2x now and from 2 years ago to this week several things in the home need to be seriously addressed before we would rent here again. Its a beautiful spot on a beautiful lake that needs some TLC and several appliances replaced or repaired as we have let the owner know. Jen the owner was great to communicate with.

Great way to bring in NYE

This place would be amazing in the summer but we stayed for a few nights for NYE and was perfect for us. Plenty of space and we enjoyed the family time. The house was full stocked and we didn’t want for anything. Would stay here again.

Family Gathering

We stayed at the house for a family funeral in the area. It was well appointed with plenty of space to spread out. Everything was in good condition and had plenty of amenities to make our stay painless. We're hoping to stay again in the future when we get the family together.

Perfect for Us!

Overall, just a beautiful property. Impressed with cleanliness of home. Loved the proximity to Mackinaw. Of course hot tub was a big hit for all ages! Mullet Lake looked super clear compared to some others we’ve stayed at up north. Loved the shallows for the kids too! Thanks Jennifer, you’re a great host.

Extended family vacation

The lake is beautiful and the lakeside patio and dock were a wonderful place to hangout. The cleaners forgot to clean that area but Jennifer was very quick to respond and get someone out to take care of it. The house is very large and accommodated our group of 14 easily. Jennifer was always quick and responsive anytime we reached out to her.

Great Place for Multiple Guests

This place worked great for our annual Winterfest gang. The weather did not cooperate however our plan is to return in 2025. Great place for 12 men, big meals, football and socializing. With snow and ice it will be an outstanding location for snowmobiling, ice fishing plus we had some skiers in the group, about 30 minutes from ski hills. Host was outstanding, responded quickly when we were trying to find house for initial check-in. No issues but its rural and took a second to figure out the specific home via google maps. Could use a couple upgrades with kitchen utensils, not a big issue just nice to have (forks-spoons).

Thanksgiving Family Trip

Our family hadn't been able to celebrate Thanksgiving in northern michigan for years. This house was perfect. The location was great. We had a beautiful view of Mullett Lake. There was a nice trail to walk on. We had 17 people. The house was large so there so plenty of room to spread out. The house was very clean, well maintained and so beautiful. The owner was very accommodating and responded to our questions before and during our stay very quickly. We plan to come back next Thanksgiving. We had a great trip.

Great space for big groups

The house was giant and ideal for our large group. We had four families and some babysitters - a total of 8 adults, 2 teens, and 7 kids under 8. Plenty of space to spread out, sleep comfortably, and have different areas to play. The lake is down the hill and across the road, which was a bit precarious for kids to cross, so we always had to have an adult with them. The dock was GREAT for hanging out and swimming...the sand/lake bottom at the end of the dock was great...and was about 3 feet deep which was awesome for hanging out and socializing. One thing that wasn't great was that the first floor was a bit "damp" and felt musty. There was a working dehumidifier that we used and kept emptying in order to keep it under control. The bathroom on the first floor also had some fume issues, and was not as nice as the two on the top floor. I am sharing this bc I know I would like to know this when considering to rent this space. That said, those elements were easily overlooked for the amount of space the house had for our giant group and the gorgeous lake views!

Property needs attention

Unsanitary and unsafe. Dead animal behind walls in kitchen caused repulsive fumes. Sewage back up in basement bathroom caused lingering smell of feces. Hot tub promoted in listing had no top, low water, was teeming with green bacteria, had clearly not been cleaned in a long time, was a cesspool and an eyesore. Many unfastened bricks on front porch fell off regularly causing tripping. Refrigerator glowed with digital message “water filter has not been replaced in three years”. No outdoor lights at water area made lovely patio space dangerous at night risking injury. Nice property that was surface-cleaned before and after our stay by a kind company who admitted to ongoing complaints by renters all summer. Major issues not addressed by owner made stay worth much less than we paid.

Beautiful home and lake, septic smell, difficult owners, no pontoon hoist, 55mph street to cross

Immediately upon opening the door, were hit with a smell of raw sewage, vomit and death in the kitchen. We notified owners, who acted shocked to hear this & came over to investigate, but after talking with them, they knew of smell 3 days prior. It was annoying to have them act like they had no idea. They admitted that the previous group "partied hard" and brought an entire truck full of liquor for the week. Owners did help try to find the source, but we were never able to find it. We cleaned all week to try to rid of the smell in the kitchen, as one needs a kitchen for cooking, but could not spend any other time in there. We threw out food that was permeated with the odor. By wed, we called again because it was nauseating. Kids would not walk into kitchen. They did send someone to look in attic, but guy there only 5 minutes. We then asked for some reimbursement for the inconvenience of not being able to use the kitchen. Owners said they would come to discuss, but no showed. They texted with "give us what you are thinking for compensation". Because we could barely use the kitchen (where people spent 50% of the time in a home) we thought 25% would be reasonable. This sent owner into a tailspin. He proceeded to falsely accuse us of damage to his home. He named several things like stains on carpet, broken fireplace, broken speakers (we never even saw speakers - we had brought our own) etc, so many things that were completely untrue and likely damaged by the "partiers" the week prior. He was rude & screaming on the phone, falsely accusing us of damage. He said he took pics & would not send them. Of course I have pics, too, of how it was left perfectly in order. We are not partiers. Just a couple of families there for a relaxing week. Of course, he said no reimbursement since we "did so much damage" to the home. We did not damage anything at all and actually cleaned out cupboards, cleaned dishes, fridge, oven, pots/pans etc trying to rid the kitchen of the awful smell. We left the place cleaner than we found it. We were disappointed that there was no pontoon lift for our boat as advertised and had to walk 1/2 mile to get to our boat. He accused us of smoking, but we found a water logged cigarette tray with butts at the lake house- not from us. We actually loved the house and lake - very beautiful and enjoyed the week. Fit our group comfortably. Didn't appreciate false accusations. Negotiation would have been a more appropriate response from owner.

Fantastic Experience

Jennifer the property owner was fantastic, she communicated very well with me ahead of the stay and answered any of my questions via text very quickly! The house has an excellent layout for kids, they ran around and loved playing in the bunk room. Kitchen had a great assortment of dishes to use, hot tub was wonderful after a day on the lake. The lake was a short 2 minute walk and very easy to take coolers and bags with a wagon! Overall I would definitely recommend the house and will be planning a return visit in the future!
