Tranquil Retreat Nestled Among the Trees – Access to Waterfront!

Wading Bird Point Cottage, a tranquil retreat hidden among the trees, offers an exceptional 150 feet of pristine waterfront on the shimmering waters of Lake Paradise. This enchanting getaway serves as the perfect escape from the bustle of everyday life while remaining conveniently situated just under 8 miles from the charming town of Mackinaw City and a scenic 28 miles from Petoskey and a host of other delightful resort towns throughout Northern Michigan.

Imagine immersing yourself in an actual vacation experience—finally diving into that stack of books you've longed to read, savoring peaceful naps in the gentle embrace of nature, and engaging in heartfelt conversations that life’s daily demands often disrupt. Spend sun-soaked days wandering along the picturesque walking path that meanders to the lakefront, basking in the serenity from your private dock, and refreshing yourself in the inviting outdoor shower. (The outdoor shower is operational in the summer months only.)

After a full day of exploring the quaint local towns or enjoying a ferry ride to the iconic Mackinac Island, unwind beneath the twinkling bistro lights on the patio while soaking in the soothing hot tub, a perfect way to end your day.

Step inside the cottage and be captivated by its rustic charm, featuring warm pine interior walls that exude coziness, a clever flip-down built-in table nook ideal for leisurely meals, soaring ceilings that create an airy feel, and a charming gas fireplace that welcomes you with its flickering glow. The inviting kitchen area is ready for your culinary adventures, complete with a full gas range for on-site cooking, or fire up the charcoal grill for delightful steak dinners under the stars.

Ascend the stairs to find a spacious loft bedroom, an oasis of comfort outfitted with a queen bed and a cozy twin daybed, complemented by a TV and an abundance of natural light streaming through the windows.

While this home is situated on the property of another house, it is designed for privacy. The dock is exclusively for your use as a rental guest and comes with designated parking spaces, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable stay! *Access to water toys and boats is not included in the rental of this property.
