Cottage holiday rentals in Mackinac Island

Omg, I don’t have the words for how awesome this place is. First, it is exactly what you see in the pictures and more. Second, it’s not far from anything and third, it’s so peaceful. I could get lost in pure bliss there. Weather I was in the hot tub, the porch, at the table on the deck, the fire pit, the dock, or even just sitting on the beach collecting rocks. Absolute Heaven. I’ve even told the rest of my family that next time we go to Michigan, we’re going to Traverse City and we’re staying at this house. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you!

Very clean and cozy place with great amenities and resources! Hosts were very proactive and provided almost anything you’d need for activities during your stay.

What a great stay! I love an A frame and this house was perfect. It was well stocked - even had plenty of wood for the fire pit. The s'mores welcome kit was perfect. I will say that if you have a hard time with stairs then this house probably isn't for you because the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs but Carrie has several other homes to choose from. It really is peaceful. There are neighbors but they are quiet and we only saw one set of neighbors the three days we were there. The dirt roads to the house weren't bad either. I will stay here again and highly recommend it to friends and family. Actually am seriously considering taking my 3 college age daughters for a girls' weekend.

Anna was a great host! Very responsive and reached out to see if we needed anything. Her cottage is super clean, cozy, and the tranquility of the location can’t be beat. We shall return!

This cottage was so cute & cozy, and was fully stocked with amenities. They had a full coffee bar, fun games to play inside, cornhole for outside, kayaks, paddle boards and a paddle boat, and so much more. We spent our whole time outside enjoying the beautiful scenery and quietness. It was so relaxing and I would definitely recommend staying here, to friends and family. Plus downtown Gaylord was only a 10 minute drive away!

This was a beautiful home located on a tranquil lake with serene views and so much local wildlife! My family spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor patio, bonfire pit and watching swans, ducks and birds from the dock. The home itself has comfortable lounging space for a bigger family and includes a well stocked kitchen. The space is very clean. The local area has bike paths which are very scenic as well. Highly recommend!

Booked the Grumpy Bear for my Bachelor party and it was a great experience for everyone. Kristi was friendly, clear and extremely helpful. Would definitely book again!

Cannot recommend this host and this property enough. Nathan was communicative while we were still looking at the property, and responded quickly through the rest of the process until check out. He provided great recommendations for local places to try out and we had a peaceful stay. The property was roomier than expected for the master and cozy for the spare rooms, and we especially loved the living room and outdoor furniture. So happy to have found this gem of a place and excited to come back in the future!

This house was exactly what we were looking for. Directly on the lake with an area for our kids to play, a dock to enjoy and an awesome porch and outdoor firepit. The house was very clean and had all cookware and basic items we needed. Great place for fun with the family or just go relax and unwind.

Nice little cabin, close to many bodies of water and centrally located between Glen Arbor and Leland. Had a great time.

First of all the location is just mind blowing. So quite and so private. Access to almost private beach. The cottage was cozy and had all the basic amenities that one would need for a small vacation with family. Whatever query we had Alec always responded within a few minutes. Was very happy with this stay. The only thing i would point out is that the exterior of the place needs a little cleaning and maintenance and i wish the kitchen had a little more utensils but thats about it. The lake is right across the street but not the best spot for bathing as its full of stones and too shallow but still beautiful to just sit and relax.

This was our second stay at the Blue Kettle Cottage and we are already planning a third! Deirdre is super friendly and communicative, always responding to any questions we may have. The home is very clean, cozy, and has all the amenities including a full kitchen. Less than a 10 minute drive to Empire and the Dunes, and within a half hour to Traverse City, Suttons Bay and Leland. Our favorite part is sitting on the patio just enjoying the peacefulness and nature. Can't wait to return!

This is our second time staying at Laurie’s Airbnb and we love it. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the winter wonderland up there. Laurie is very communicative and very helpful. The place is comfy and we love that we can bring our dogs!

Very cute historic home, felt so comfy and cozy my entire stay. The king sized bed was so comfortable and the linens were so soft! House was on a quiet street, I loved sitting out on the deck enjoying nature and the river. I also enjoyed walking along the river, and even walked to downtown and back easily. Appreciated all the local recommendations provided by the host :) Would definitely stay here again!

This house is a little gem. Perfect for a couple or small family. Ours was my husband, our 7mo baby and dog. We wanted a quick fall getaway, somewhere quiet and peaceful but close to town and restaurants. Location is great. 5 min from Walloon village and Petoskey. Tucked away on Walloon lake right off 131. The house is roomy, with the bedroom giving plenty of space for our pack and play. Kitchen has everything you need and David even left us smores for the fire and fresh sunflowers, and a toy for our baby! Really appreciate having things like plastic wrap, Tupperware, spices, paper towels, laundry detergent and even shampoo and conditioner. All the things that make travel easier and comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch in the evenings and mornings. And of course being able to have our dog was important to us. Lastly David was flexible with us on checkout which was most appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Beaver Tales! The cottage is a peaceful hideaway with incredible views. The home was clean, well-stocked, and had plenty of space for 2 adults, 3 kids under 10, and our small dog. The beach right in front is a mix of rocks and sand as the host described, but with water shoes the swimming was great and we spent hours rock hunting. The drop off is very gradual, perfect for the kids. The water was crystal clear most of the time but can get churned up depending on the wind and waves. There are also perfect sandy beaches within a 5-minute drive in either direction. Elizabeth was very responsive and flexible, and it was a wonderful experience all around. This was our first visit to the island and we'll certainly be back!

Quiet and peaceful. Very spacious. Plenty of living area inside and out. Access to garage was a big plus for bike storage. Neighbor who owned lakefront property was awesome. He initiated contact with us and offered use and access to lakefront. we really enjoyed our stay. Great location for Mackinaw tourist stuff.

Little Skip Cottage was absolutely gorgeous & cozy — just perfect for our honeymoon. We loved everything about it and will certainly be back!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, tidy and cozy. The back deck was great and we enjoyed sitting out there watching the water. We like to cook so all of the lovely appliances were a bonus. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting the area.

This is an amazing property with a remarkable view over the lake. It is a very tranquil location and it is easy to feel close to nature. The cabin is very well appointed and was perfect! The host was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall a five star property and experience. Highly recommended!

Great Airbnb. Spacious for my team and a beautiful lake view. Wish the weather would have cooperated but it was still an excellent stay. We will definitely be looking to return next time we are in the area.

Great house great lake- close to mackinac island

Thank you Tina for a beautiful place for us to spend time with family. This place is something you have to see. The location is absolutely amazing on Lake Huron. Beach is beautiful looking to the water and to her home. Her place is like a little fairy tale cottage in the woods. It is absolutely charming inside and out and decorated beautifully! It had everything we needed to be comfortable. You won’t be disappointed. Very clean and well stocked with everything you’ll need. We will definitely be back to do some bike riding on that beautiful bike trail near by on Lake Huron.

We enjoyed three nights at The Sunflower Chalet. We enjoyed the fireplace and games that were provided, and the kids loved the air hockey table and basketball hoop in the basement. The basketball hoop outside was another favorite for the kids. The chalet was very clean, quiet, and perfect for our group. We enjoyed restaurants in Indian River and Alanson. We also skied at the Highlands. Linda and Jessica were very responsive to our questions. Thank you for sharing your wonderful spot with us!
