About this cottage rental
Paradise Lake Escape is a private lakefront retreat on beautiful Paradise Lake, about 10 minutes from Mackinaw City and the Mackinac Island ferries. The property is designed for families and multigenerational groups, with a main cottage and detached bunkhouse that comfortably sleep up to 8 guests while giving everyone room to spread out.
The main cottage includes two queen bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a comfortable living area, a kitchen, a dining space, a washer and dryer, and beautiful lake views. Just about 15 feet away, the detached bunkhouse adds even more space with a queen bedroom, twin trundle room, lounge area, Smart TV, dry bar, and beverage refrigerator. It is a great setup for kids, teens, grandparents, or a second family traveling together. Both full bathrooms are located in the main cottage.
Outside, guests can enjoy the seasonal dock, shallow sandy swimming area, kayaks, bikes, a large lakefront deck, a grill, a fire pit, and plenty of space to relax by the water. Spend the morning kayaking or swimming, enjoy dinner overlooking the lake, and finish the evening around the fire.
Modern conveniences make longer stays easy, including gig-speed Wi-Fi, multiple living spaces, air conditioning and heat in both buildings, washer and dryer, Smart TVs, and on-site Level 2 EV charging. A 50-amp connection near the bunkhouse and an additional 30-amp connection near the parking area also provide convenient options for EV or RV use.
Paradise Lake Escape is pet-friendly and offers a quiet, low-traffic setting while still being close to many of Northern Michigan’s most popular destinations. Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island are just minutes away, with easy access to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, the Upper Peninsula, golfing, fishing, boating, biking, hiking, and nearby restaurants and attractions.
For guest awareness, the property has two exterior security cameras located at the front and back of the home. There are no interior cameras.
Whether you plan to explore Northern Michigan or spend a few quiet days at the lake, Paradise Lake Escape offers a comfortable home base with plenty to enjoy right on the property.

Beautiful property overlooking the lake. Quiet and peaceful. Property has two separate living spaces which are well suited to a large family. Host was very responsive and helpful. Easy access to Mackinaw City for transport to Mackinac island. Highly recommended.

By far one of the best rentals we’ve ever stayed at! House was stocked with everything we needed. We had 4 kids under the age of 6 and they had a blast! They loved fishing off the dock, going on the kayaks, roasting s’mores with the spacious firepit, and host even provided games! All bedrooms were nice and clean, air worked great for us, host even had a couple box fans for us fan sleepers!We enjoyed grilling every night. We even messaged host within an hour of being there to ask to come back for other dates! We come from a family that travels a lot and even has a couple rentals, and we were very pleased. The views were amazing for morning coffee as well!This is by far a 11/10 house! I’m hoping that renters respect this space for the future so it lasts long! Thank you again! We can’t wait to come back! :)
