Cottage vacation 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!

Amazing home with 5 min walk to downtown Walloon. Huge yard with fire pit and hot tub! We loved our stay here and recommend this to anyone considering Walloon accommodations!

We loved our stay at Anna’s cottage! It was the perfect peaceful sanctuary we were looking for. The property is charming, thoughtfully designed, and elegantly outfitted. The location offers a very private vibe tucked away in the woods while being being in the center of the peninsula and convenient to get around. Anna was a super friendly and helpful host, making sure we had a positive experience every step of the way. We are psyched to return for another retreat at this amazing cottage in the woods!

Loved the seclusion, the hot tub and the location was the perfect get away!

This cozy, quiet, very clean and homey space has become our favorite rental home of all we have rented. The personal touches really made us feel we were staying at a family or friend’s home. It had paper ware, seasonings, clean pots pans, coffee, zip lock bags, candles throughout the home. The bedding, pillows and towels were top notch. Not to mention the wonderful hot tub, kayaks, dock space, grill and fire pit. I will make mention the 2 bedroom are upstairs. 2 full bathrooms but bathroom upstairs next to bed rooms is a bathtub only. Mark was so pleasant and attentive to answer any of our questions and we look forward to a return trip.

We had a wonderful stay on Crooked Lake! The house was beautiful. Being right on the water was an incredible experience—watching swans, cranes, ducks, woodpeckers, and other birds made it feel like a peaceful retreat. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and the fireplace added a cozy touch to our evenings. The hot tub was a highlight—we thoroughly enjoyed unwinding in it while taking in the serene surroundings. Marc and Mitch were excellent hosts, always responsive and helpful. When we encountered a plumbing issue, they immediately contacted a contractor to inspect and resolve it, which we truly appreciated. The location of the home was fantastic! It was close to several wonderful cities, allowing us to explore Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Forest Beach, Middle Village, Good Hart, Cross Village, and Mackinaw City. One of the best parts of our trip was driving the scenic Tunnel of Trees along the coastline—it was breathtaking!

We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!

Wonderful cottage with a beautiful view. We loved the hot tub and yard. The kids sleeping area was so cute. Great use of space. Beds were comfy and lines were nice. I would highly recommend this cottage. We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing stay in an absolutely beautiful location. Shawn was an amazing host that went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure our stay was exceptional!

Always our favorite stay! Robert’s place is just as he describes. Clean. Close to everything. Very responsive. Perfect for our family or 4!

If you are looking for a place to unplug and enjoy nature this is it. It is about an hour from the Soo, so just keep that in mind if you are needing anything. We came here to mountain bike and drove an hour into Sault Ste. Marie everyday and it was honestly no issue. We came here to bike and relax, so the location was perfect for the relaxation part. Just a walk across the road is the waterfront where we were able to catch the sunrise. Arlen's family is lovely, his parents live next door and sell freshly baked bread that his dad will deliver to you next day. There were three humans, our dogs and cat that stayed here and there was more than enough room. The bunkie is perfect for someone wanting some privacy, it is basically a cozy bedroom. Place is clean and as described. Lots of towels and linen provided. There are board games and Netflix. The only thing I will say is that although the water is potable, it did have a weird taste to it, so I ended up buying water. 100% would recommend.

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.

House was very comfortable and easy for my elderly mother to get around. The handicap ramp and large bedroom and bathroom on the main floor made it possible for her enjoy the weekend. Road noise was not a problem once inside the house. The house was very organized and well equipped with everything we needed. We chose this place because we were traveling with a small dog and they even had dog supplies handy, leashes and paw wipes, right by the front door. The communication with the host was also amazing.

This stone cottage is absolutely adorable. Everything you need for your stay is ready: comfy bed with super soft linens, clean towels, soaps, coffee and maker, and the list goes on and on. Nick greeted us as we arrived and was very hospitable. He left us a kind, welcome letter, fresh flowers, chocolates, and wine! The cable tv and WiFi worked perfectly too. But THE VIEW and LOCATION are amazing! It could not get better! Beautiful lawn, stone walls, and a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan. And it’s literally a 2 minute walk to cross the street and rock hunt or walk the beach! The neighborhood homes are mostly stone and historic-so beautiful. This place is peaceful and serene, and we will be back! Thank you, Nick. We had a great spring getaway! We’d love to return in the summer.

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!

Little Skip Cottage is perfectly located between Sutton Bay and Northport making it easy to enjoy what each area has to offer. Carolyn was quick to respond to our questions about the area and offered suggestions of hikes in the area. The cottage was welcoming and cozy and beautifully decorated. We were able to fix meals in the kitchen that was well stocked and loved all the little “extras” like a coffee bar, spices and condiments. We hope to return soon to one of our favorite places.

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.

Beautiful location. Everything we hoped it to be. We spent a lot of time down at the beach firepit.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Lakewood Cottage! It was very relaxing, clean and had everything we could possibly need. Amanda was super responsive whenever we had a question. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice, quiet get away by the lake!

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.

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.

Our stay at stonecliff cottage was amazing 10 days of paradise. The beach and water was so beautiful the cottage was cozy and spotless very easy to feel at home in. Tina is a wonderful host very sweet and cares about her guests.

Our stay was beyond perfect! It was exactly what we were looking for, quiet, peaceful and private. We enjoyed the views of the lake, and the wildlife. Having the kayaks available was an added plus. We highly recommend this location and this cottage. We will be back next year. Thank you Gary, for everything.
