Great location in a quiet neigborhood that is within walking distance of almost everything in Mackinaw City. We used our stay here to see all the wonderful fall colors northern Michigan has to offer. Location made it easy to reach the UP as well as both coasts in northern Michigan for out and back day trips. Host was easy to reach and the entire stay went very smoothly. Clean, cozy, and comfortable!
This was my third stay at one of the cottages. Always wonderful. Nice quiet area that is close to things to do. Clean and comfortable place to stay. Hosts are so easy to work with. Thank you for another wonderful stay!
Enjoyed our stay. It was conveniently located close to town and the bridge to enjoy some sights in the U.P. Cottage was clean and worked perfectly for 2 people.
The home was so welcoming and comfortable. Everything was clean and it was very well equipped. The owners were very quick to answer any questions we had. The location was great close to everything in Mackinaw City!
Great location with easy self check-in. The house is cute and well maintained. The pullout couch did have mouse poop on it though. I'm guessing it doesn't get used much. It was still gross and luckily we had a blow up mattress for our child.Otherwise the place was nice & clean and had everything we needed.
Great stay at this property. Hosts are super nice and good communicators. Nice quiet neighborhood. Good places to eat within walking distance. Highly recommend Darrow's Family Restaurant. Never had a bad meal and the pies are outstanding!
Great location clean and comfy place to stay. We rented all 3 properties on this lot and had a couples retreat. We couldn't have asked for a better place or location. Was absolutely great.
We spent 3 nights in this sweet cottage. We loved the screened in porch. The furniture and beds are comfortable. I liked that it was a little away from the main part of Mackinaw City, but close enough we could walk to most places.We would love to stay there again if weâre ever in the area. Highly recommended.
The cottage was exactly as pictured and perfect for my husband and I. Kitchen was well stocked. Queen bed was comfortable. Shower pressure very good. Location is close enough to walk to Sheeplers ferry and the Crossings shopping area.
We enjoyed our stay very much! The cottage was comfortable and clean, and the porch was the highlight. The owner gave a lot of attention to detail in decor and in stocking the kitchen with good tools for preparing meals. The location was excellent--quiet but walking distance to stores and restaurants. One teeny complaint: the grates on the grill are badly rusted. We would love to come back sometime!
Thoroughly enjoyed this little gem. It was centrally located to so many activities. The weather was terrific and loved the porch for evening games. Thanks to Todd for coming out to rescue two sisters who arenât very savvy with the door lock system.
I stayed in the Macatawa City Cottage for 3 nights and felt like I was home. The decor is understated and tasteful; the bed is comfortable; the shower had plenty of hot water, and I enjoyed most of my meals IN because the kitchen has everything one needs. It was also a walkable distance to the ferry that goes to the island, which I enjoyed exploring for the first time. I would recommend this cottage for a couple or single guest.
We were enticed by the look and location of this cottage, and those did not disappoint. We were able to make it through the week and have a good time, but did have to deal with some quirks. We were excited to be able to sit and eat meals in the screened porch, but were unable to due to a black fly infestation (see image). Eventually, even moving through the porch to come and go became daunting. Additionally, the hot water only lasted about 10 minutes, making it difficult to shower and do the dishes at the same time of day. The strong scents on the furniture were also not ideal. But if at least the fly problem was taken care of, we would definitely consider renting this one again!
We bought this property as a "fixer upper" opportunity. We enjoy renovating projects together and love Mackinaw (vacationed here every summer with our kids) so this was the perfect place for us. The 3 cottages give us a vacation home that will fit all of us as our children get married and have their own families.
We also love this place for its history as part of the Lazy T resort decades ago. So to restore these cottages and rent them again for families to enjoy is an added benefit. Plus Mack City is a great starting point for other travels to the U.P. and other northern Michigan tourist towns.
