This quaint and spacious 2-story cottage is ideally situated on Lake Michigan overlooking the Straits of Mackinac and the Mackinac Bridge.  It  has been lovingly maintained and reflects the history of the Mackinac area. This 19th century lakeside cottage still offers the quiet and peaceful cottage living of another era but is fully updated to meet the needs of today's traveler.  The cottage is located on the water in a peaceful Northern Michigan lakeside neighborhood, just outside of the quaint Village of Mackinaw City.  You can walk to town for your evening ice cream cone;  walk to Shepler's Ferry to catch a ride to the beautiful Mackinac Island or just sit waterside with a good book.  This vintage cottage will take you and your family back to a simpler time with your days spent at the beach and your evenings around a campfire.  Mackinaw City is a perfect location to serve as a base camp for all Northern Michigan has to offer.   Swim, bike, hike, golf, parasail, hunt or fish - all within minutes.  If you like to shop, there's plenty of that.  There are lots of specialty shops in Mackinaw City and a day trip from Mackinaw City to Petoskey on US 31 will offer abundant opportunities for antiquing.  
The cottage is clean, comfortable and very charming.  It has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a front and back porch.  The kitchen is open to the dining room and has a full size refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave.  All linens, bedding, dishes, pots & pans are included.  The dining room seats 6 people.  There is also a laundry room with a washer/dryer.  The Living Room opens to the back deck and features a grand stone fireplace, rocking chairs and a comfy sofa for relaxing.  This is a place you will want to come back to year after year.  This is a historic cottage containing some antiques which may not be suitable for small children.
