Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First visit to the area We are cross-country travelers and have visited all over the U.S. The Michigan peninsula area is one that we had not yet visited. This little lake cabin was just perfect for our first experience in the area. Such a cute, newly remodeled place, right on Carp Lake, just minutes from Mackinaw City & the ferry to Mackinac Island, and minutes from Headlands International Night Sky Park. Everything was so convenient and easy once we got here! We rented a boat for a day on Carp Lake and took the ferry to the island another day, and just chilled at the lake in-between. Emma, our host, was so very helpful and responsive to all of our questions and gave us great recommendations. Our first visit to the area did not disappoint, and our stay in this cute lake cabin definitely contributed to this great trip! We would definitely stay here again. ##### Karen M. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana H. Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Get Away For more than a year my husband and I planned a family get away with our two adult children and their families. Due to circumstances beyond our control our plans changed a month before the originally planned trip. It turned out to be a blessing because we found this lakefront cottage! It was perfect for our group. My husband and I (Grandma and Papi) and our adult child's family. The kids were exposed to fishing, boating, biking on Mackinac, playing family games, cooking on the campfire... it was wonderful! We will be back. The host was quick to resond to all questions and was very accommodating. The property was perfect for our needs! ##### Diana H.
