Cute Cottage

Perfect location for a beautiful sunset on Paradise Lake. Is only a few minutes/miles from Mackinaw City. Host was very responsive/helpful when we called with a question regarding locking the cottage.

Lovely lakeside retreat

My husband and I loved our stay right on the water. We kayaked and canoed, we cooked fresh fish from the market, and we used our cabin as home base for traveling to Mackinac Island and Petoskey. We read on the wonderful screened porch and watched many sunsets. It was a perfect stay.

Prefect little cottage close to so much stuff

Loved the location - we saw mackinaw, perky, UP, dark sky park, and cheboygan. The lake is beautiful and steps outside of the back door. The cabin is small, but a great size for the 3 of us

The perfect relaxing family vacation

This was the perfect relaxing trip for our family as a way to wrap up summer! The cottage was simple, clean, cozy and had everything we needed! My favorite was the screened in porch where we could enjoy our coffee, watch the sunset, read and escape the sun. Our two kids (9 and 11) had a blast taking out the kayak, playing in the sand, building a fire, catching crawfish, frogs and playing games. The lake is calm and quiet and you could walk out quite far before it got deep. My 11 year old said this was the best vacation because he got to do so many fun things outside ❤️ He even caught some fish one morning! Just a short 15 minute drive from Mackinac City to hop on a ferry to Mackinac Island. Maggie was super friendly and helpful any time I reached out! I would definitely recommend this cottage to friends and family and would come back again!

Pleasant cabin directly on the water

We recently spent four nights here, and the location was just right for day trips to the UP, Pestoskey, and Mackinac Island. The cabin itself is small, but we spent nearly all our time outdoors in the backyard/beach. The views over the water were gorgeous at sunrise and sunset. Lake Paradise was clean and clear, and shallow--perfect for my kids who love to explore the water but aren't both strong deep water swimmers. We particularly enjoyed the kayak, rowboat, and canoe! The host provided a couple life vests, but I recommend bringing your own youth ones if you have kids.

Great cabin stay for a stop near Macinaw City

We were traveling with a family of four around Lake Michigan and stayed here to be close to Macinaw City. The porch is really nice and you have a little beach. The house is small and simple but has an upgraded kitchen, bathroom and windows. I wouldn’t want to cook all of our meals there just because the kitchen is small and you would have to eat outside on a picnic table for four people. You will travel for groceries or restaurants, but you aren’t that far from Macinaw City. The owners seemed really nice and communicative and we would definitely stay here again. We have some great pictures of the sunset from the porch.

Perfect getaway for us!

This cottage & location is so perfect and peaceful! The cottage itself is clean and updated and beautiful, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for myself and my 10 year old son to really spread out. The location is perfection, facing the sunset on the most beautiful lake. There is a small sandy beach area and a grassy area as well. The lake is very shallow, like below the knee, for quite far out so we just floated around on floaties, collected little shells and rocks and checked out minnows, toads and crawfish and it was so warm and perfect! They provided a canoe, kayak and lifevests; however, we did not end up using them! This place is a very short drive to the Mackinaw City area. The owners were easy to communicate with and friendly, and everything was even better than we expected. We definitely want to come back!! Thank you for a great vacation!

Nice Lake Setting

Everything was just fine except the listing showed there was a spa / hot tub amenity. It was an error in the listing that still needs to be resolved. We are still working with the property owner on a resolution. The cabin is small and clean with all the basic amenities.

A wonderful getaway for the family

This turned out to be a fantastic stay all around and would definitely do again. The home itself was a great fit with a simple design and cabin like feel to it with all of the amenities we needed. I loved sitting in the screened in porch looking at the lake as the sun went down our even during the short rains. Even though the weather wasn't quite as warm as we would have liked (only about 70-74°while we were there) the temperature of the lake was actually very comfortable to swim in. It was also great for my 3 year old who was able to travel out quite a ways without it getting too deep for him. Maggie was a wonderful host who was very responsive and accommodating to any questions we had.

Texas Couple Refresh & Getaway

We needed a relaxing vacation in cooler temps and that is exactly what we got. If you like to walk to stores and restaurants, this is not for you, but it was perfect for us. Sunsets are unbelievable from the porch. Loons, ducks, shallow water (perfect for kids), and everything you need close by. Clean, comfortable beds and linens. Very nice owners! A delightful treat that made us fall in love with Michigan!

Great cabin on a quiet lake

We had a great stay at this rustic cabin. The description was accurate and our kids loved using the row boat and kayak. The lake is very shallow, which was perfect for our two young kids (4 and 6). We also loved sitting out on the porch. Sunsets are gorgeous. The host was very responsive. Thank you!

Perfect up North get away

This property was perfect for our family of 3. The lake provided hours of entertainment for my son, and it was shallow near the shore so I was able to relax and not worry about him. The host was amazing with communication and answered all of our questions quickly. The house was clean and really well stocked. Very relaxing.

We stayed at the cottage with our two kids (7 and 10). It was very clean and decently stocked. The location was perfect for day trips into the UP and to Mackinac Island. The only thing we wished it had was a grill. Would definitely stay again.

Levering MI Lake Cottage

We had a great time at this lakeside cottage. We loved the front porch and the fact that it is right on the water of Paradise Lake. This property is located about 20 minutes from Mackinaw City and provides a great jumping point for day trips to Mackinac Island, St Ignace, Petosky, and Cheboygan. We brought our own bicycles and enjoyed riding the many trails available on the island and the mainland.

Great Location and Great Place

Great Communication, Clean place, Even Better View. The beach and water are amazing, my 2 daughters & I had a great time swimming and just hanging out watching the sunsets. Mackinac city is close by, the ferry from there to Mackinaw Island is right there as well. The bridge is right there too if you want to check out some UP stuff. I’d HIGHLY recommend this place, so much so my girls asked if/when we can book it again to come back this summer.

After a busy day in Mackinaw City, the Island or Wilderness State Park, this is the perfect place to come back to rest and relax!

September Stay

We were very pleased with our responsive hostess and the cottage. Everything was as noted in the description. The cottage was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The lake and the sunsets were beautiful - we loved sitting on the screened -in porch in the evening. The cottage is convenient to Mackinaw City and we were able to go to Mackinac Island, the U.P. , and Legs Inn! It is a great place to stay for an Up North vacation.
