Make Memories This Summer-Easy Access to All Things Northern Michigan

You won’t find a better location for peacefulness, family-friendly lake access, hiking and cycling, and proximity to Petoskey, Mackinaw and the upper peninsula. The location is so peaceful and quiet yet so close to everything Northern Michigan has to offer. The cottage rental includes spectacular sunsets, TrueStream fiber internet, dedicated fire pit, lawn games, kayaks/SUPs and much more


NATURE GETAWAY

Next to the waters edge at the end of a wooded trail, sits our elegant three bedroom log home called Blake Beach House (one of three cottages available to rent on the property-rent all three for a perfect for extended family vacation). It soaks the breeze off Lake Paradise and rests in peace next to the quiet Stony Point Nature Preserve. This Preserve is a nature lovers paradise with a trail system that helps you hike it all.

A stone's throw lands you in the Carp Lake Township Park-a historic park nestled in the forest. It's tiny, but the swing set by the water is all you need to enjoy the serenity.

Moving closer to the cabin you'll find the dock with lots of water crafts to explore the lake with. Bring a pole, fish off the dock, or take a kayak out for a time you'll never forget.

Now inside the cabin, you'll meet the comfort of white-knotty pine everywhere. Pine adds a rustic and cozy ambience that can't be beat while reading by the stone fireplace. Vintage and homemade decorations add a dash of local charm.

Guests love drinking coffee in the sunroom overlooking the lake. You'll find a kitchen with modern appliances making homemade meals a pleasure. Updated bathrooms with elegant tile and modern fixtures. And comfortable beds with great views.
There's no need to go to the park when you can live on one. Our guests always feel right at home here.

Please note we have two other cottages available on the property. Please see VRBO # 2108953 and 2131656 both sleep up to 4 guests.

Wonderful, relaxing stay at such a nice cabin! Very close to Mackinac Island where we spent most of our time. It was nice to come back and relax by the lake, take boat out, or sit by the fire. Thank you for providing such a beautiful space to relax and "get away."

Exploring Michigan

This charming lakefront cabin was perfect for our group to explore the surrounding areas attractions and towns. The kitchen has what's needed to prepare meals and there's plenty of space to relax and enjoy the view of the lake. We didn't get a chance to use the outdoor firepit, solo stove or canoes and paddle boards. I would definitely recommend a stay here. Wish we had a few more days.

Great family cottage

Wonderful stay. Kelly and Sarah were both super quick to respond with any questions. Beautiful area and convenient location to enjoy all the best of Michigan. We missed out on using all the lake toys and fire pit because of the weather, but we have an excuse to come back and hopefully enjoy them next time. Thank you for the memories!

We really enjoyed our family vacation! The cottage was perfect for our size family. It was clean, well decorated, and fun to hang out in.

Relaxing getaway

Kelly's property had everything needed for a secluded and self-sufficient lakeside family getaway. The home was comfortably furnished, and the kitchen was well-stocked with cooking equipment. The watercraft and dock made enjoying the lake and sunsets very accessible. We also enjoyed the lawn games and cozy fireplace. Thanks for sharing this with us, Kelly!

Weekend getaway with friends

We had a great time at this property. The lake was beautiful. We enjoyed kayaking, paddleboarding, and even got a ride on a pontoon boat from a friendly neighbor. We took a daytrips to several places and found this location to be perfect. The house had quite a few bugs, and the washer and dryer had a fairly steep learning curve. Other than that, no complaints.

Dearest friends getaway

The host was beyond amazing. I had to change our dates due to a work conflict and she was very understanding. I received detailed instructions about everything upon arrival. Our cabin was phenomenal !! So well stocked with all the essentials ! Every utensil, from tongs to burger flippers, lots of dish ware and bowls we were thrilled of how wonderful this kitchen was. This cabin was super cozy with different sitting arrangements for a more intimate conversations. And a large table for all of us. It was a great experience and we were more than satisfied

Wonderful getaway

Beautiful cottage on a little corner of the lake. Far enough away that you were really away, but only 10-15 minutes from the Mackinac City. Easily fit everyone in the family. Very calm, very peaceful. Hope to go back someday. (Really, I have to. I never got a chance to ride on the rails to trails path, go kayaking further out on the lake, figure out how to stand on the paddleboard, explore more of the paths in the nature preserve, read more about the history of the lake and the area, and sign the guest book. Ran out of time)

Relaxing on a beautiful lake.

The place was exactly as pictured, and the large kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. The view is beautiful as well and the many kayaks and paddle boards allowed us to take advantage of the location. The proximity to Mackinaw Island and the Mackinaw bridge made this an awesome location. With any luck, we’ll be back.
