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.
Cozy cottage with plenty of amenities! Close to downtown Mackinaw City as well as within walking distance to some restaurants and activities. Cottage was perfect for couples or family with young children. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time staying in this cute and quaint cottage. It was just perfect for two adults and a child. The cottage had everything we needed and felt cozy and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The location is fantastic, within easy walking distance to downtown Mackinaw City, which made exploring shops, restaurants, and the waterfront super convenient. It also served as the perfect base camp for day trips in every direction, whether we were heading to the island ferry, hitting local attractions, or just out for a scenic drive. Weâd definitely stay here again!
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!
This cottage was perfectly located, close to the downtown area yet still quiet and private. We enjoyed our stay and have already recommended it to some friends.
Macatawa was as wonderful as we remembered it and the sweet new coffeemaker made my vacation! This is the perfect location for us to bike Mackinac Island and both sides of Lower Michigan including the Huron Sunrise Trail and Little Traverse Wheelway. We will always plan for future returns to this special rental...
Ive been dreaming of seeing Mackinac Island for years!! Thank you for welcoming us into your home!! It is a beautiful home and we enjoyed our stay so very much!!!
We really enjoyed staying in this lovely little cottage. The decor is lovely and the cottage feels very homey and cozy. We particularly liked the screened-in front porch.
The location is great - we were able to bike to the ferry, which was convenient.
Unfortunately, this rental was not all I had hoped based on the reviews of others who stayed.
The best thing about it was the accessibility to Mackinaw City and downtown restaurants, ferry and interstate. The cleanliness was ok, but
This property is perfect if you want to walk the bridge on Labor Day. It is close to all the shops and restaurants in Mackinaw City. The porch is wonderful too!!!
Wonderful place to stay! Property was very clean and exactly as described. Comfy bed. Walked to town several times. Good communication with hosts.
Would stay again!
You will not go wrong renting this VRBO. The screened porch is the best! The property is located close to downtown so you can walk safely to shopping and restaurants.
Outstanding location. Thoughtfulness went into all the accommodations. Slight complicationâŠbathroom sink would not drain entire week we were there, even after owner attempted to fix it. A small refund would have gone a long way for the inconvenience it created all week.
We loved your little house. Nicely decorated and clean. The water pressure and tub draining was the only thing that might need some attention. Other than that it was perfect! Thank you for sharing your little house
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.
