About this property

Historic Home / Private Beach / Nestled on Lake Michigan / Mackinaw Bridge Views

  • Enjoy the peace of this historical stone cottage located on Lake Michigan. This home is nestled within Wilderness State Park, offering a wide range of activities from biking & hiking to kayaking & fishing. A private beach and views of the Mackinaw Bridge make it the perfect getaway. Take in the sunset from around the campfire or enjoy the beautiful scenery from the enclosed porch. Located just 12 miles from Mackinaw City, there's something for everyone with dining, shopping and excursions.

    A starter set of supplies provided - dish soap, sponge, garbage bags, paper towel, laundry pods and rolls of toilet paper.

    While you have complete privacy in the main house, please note that we occasionally stay in a RV located on the property. We are readily available should you need anything, but will otherwise respect your space.

    We're happy to give recommendations of things to do and see as well as restaurants we love. We hope you enjoy your stay and enjoy this special place as much as we do!

This place is all and more than what is listed!!! Definitely would stay here again. The kitchen is stocked with dishes and host touches and there’s plenty of games on top of having the lake outside the back door!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful historic home. The view of the bridge at night is wonderful and the night sky was full of stars. The house is comfortable and was stocked with all the towels and kitchenware that we needed. I enjoyed my coffee by the water’s edge every morning after stunning sunrises. I was glad we brought our water sandals for wading into the lake. I expect that the owners were staying in their RV on the far corner of the property while we were there because I saw a car, but I never saw them or heard them so that didn’t bother us in the least. The Cecil Bay Trading Post just up the road has lots of food, snacks and supplies, and the Harbor Lights restaurant had great food (20-minute drive).
