Charming Historic Mackinaw City Cottage

Beautiful remodeled cottage in the heart of Mackinaw City. Located downtown and only a stone throw from Main Street. The cottage is a short three block walk from the Ferry lines to Historic Mackinac Island. Listed as a home but the feel of a historic Up North Cottage. Plenty of space for family gatherings. The first floor has a full bathroom and a laundry room with a washer/dryer doubling as a half bath. Upstairs has two bedrooms, a bathroom and an open area with two twin built in beds and a sectional with a sofa sleeper. Great for the youngsters! Outside you will find a nice yard, great for watching summer Tuesday and Friday night fireworks!. This is a quiet neighborhood in a residential area.
Things to do locally: Downtown Mackinaw City where there is excellent shopping, food, breweries and indoor water parks among several other tourist adventures. Near is skiing, golfing, boating, beaches, parasailing, Casino, the Mackinac Bridge leading to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and last but not least the ferry lines providing transportation to Historic Mackinac Island.

Great central location for Mackinaw City
Really enjoyed this location—walking distance to several of Mackinaw City’s better dining options, easy access to ferries to Mackinac Island, and perfect positioning to conveniently start the Bridge Walk from the south side. Easy drives to Tahquamenon and nice beaches along Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. House was nice as well—seems to have received some new updates just recently. Our son enjoyed the beds in the loft and the two rooms at the top for the adults were cozy and adequate. Would return again as a base for exploring the area.

Great location Cute place!
We stayed here with Friends and loved the place. The location is a lot closer to shopping and the water than the listing has stated which was a pleasant surprise. We would stay here again and recommend it to others. We had an issue with the AC unit when we first got there ( which we understand issues can always happen at anytime) the owner had someone there and had it resolved within an hour. 10/10 would recommend.

great place!
We really enjoyed our stay here - house was very comfy, well-appointed, nicely redone, and fun. Great location - quiet neighborhood, but so nice to just park and be able to walk a few blocks to restaurants, the park by the bridge, ferry, or anywhere else. Even got to sit in the front yard enjoying a fun fireworks show. I'd definitely stay here again!
