It will be listed under fees as "Damage Insurance". \*WILDLIFE DISCLAIMER\* Coming to beautiful Northern Michigan includes the possibility of wildlife encounters. We have midges, spiders, mosquitos, occasionally black flies and an assortment of other insects. We spray regularly to keep them at a manageble level but we also don't want to damage the fragile ecosystem here. Note that where there is water, there will be spiders. They are very industrious and can build back a knocked down web within a day! They are also great for controlling mosquitos and wasps, which we appreciate. We treasure the wildness of the North and perhaps that is what attracts you. Consider yourself lucky if you catch a glimpse of any of our other wild neighbors - black bear, wolves, deer, elk, coyote, fox, bobcats, porcupine, skunks, raccoons, eagles, hawks, squirrels, chipmunks and mice as well as a massive variety of birds. We ask you to consider this before booking one of our cottages or cabins. The presence of wildlife is part of the experience here and does not warrant a refund. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the marina ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,195 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116240000/116237300/116237289/b865144d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private and secluded lakefront 15 minutes from Mackinaw City - Carp Lake Carp Lake - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=116237289&PinnedHotelID=116237289&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55190000/55181000/55180932/90-afca7d38.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakeview Getaway with stunning sunrises St. Ignace - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 59 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=55180932&PinnedHotelID=55180932&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/19000000/18994000/18993984/689cee66.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Mackinaw House on Lake Huron Mackinaw City - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 135 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=18993984&PinnedHotelID=18993984&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105590000/105581100/105581031/6ff82e6d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spend Your Best Family Vacation by the Lake This Summer at our Cozy Cottage.
