Stayed here with my Grandkids and they enjoyed it very much. The cabin has a nice setup and has everything you need. There are swimming areas nearby and a waterfall with swimming and great places to eat.

We had a great time at Mud Creek Cottage! Super easy check and out process and our host responded so quickly when we reached out. Very clean and cute cottage and property! Would definitely stay again!
We stayed at this property for a short winter weekend visit to the area. The house was clean and comfortable, and the property was just as described. Brandon was a great host. Thank you for hosting us!
excellent communication, very clean, fun place for down time.
we were there only 2 nights because we were going to Mackinaw but really liked the place. Me and my granddaughter enjoyed the game room. I would stay there again. It was very comfortable.
We stayed here with our small family which included two small children and our dog! Our dog loved the big yard to fetch :) Everyone had a blast on the property and enjoyed the cabin. It was so nice having a full kitchen as well as we grilled outside. It was HOT outside during our stay so we appreciated AC units in every room, even in the game room. Brandon was a fantastic host and checked in mid stay to see if we needed anything. His communication was always prompt which I appreciated as well. We will stay here again!
Stayed for a week with family. Very clean and has everything you need. Great place that is centrally located. Easy process and Brandon was great to deal with. Lot's of things to do locally and only 45 minutes from the bridge! Willhereagain!again.
The cabin is not for this large of a group, but otherwise it was absolutely perfect. Bring bug spray! the boys loved the game room and as a base it was well located.
From start to finish, our experience with Brandon & Mud Creek Cottage was fantastic! Had all the amenities and charm one could ask for in an up north cottage. We loved it and hope to rent again. One minor suggestion is to add small bedside lamps. Otherwise, 100% satisfied. Don’t hesitate to rent Mid Creek Cottage!
Had an amazing time with my family making memories to last a lifetime. I grew up most of my life coming up to the area and my parents had lived near the location. My girls enjoyed kayaking everyday, bon fire 🔥, hearing the elk bugle, fishing in the river, Ocqueoc falls, and making big dinners. The game room is a great space too. My girls want to come back every year.
Our stay at the cabin was great. We really enjoyed the peacefulness. It was in a perfect location for all the places we went and stopped at. We enjoyed staying in and cooking. Everything you needed to make meals with was there. We saw some fish in the river and enjoyed walking around the property. Brandon was great to get in touch with. He responded quickly when we had a few questions. Everything was great. Would for sure stay here again.
This was a perfect place for our trip to visit family and Mackinac Island. Very quiet and had everything we needed. We didnt have time to enjoy the extras but the kayaks and separate game room would be great for someone that was there longer. Would definitely stay again.
My husband and I stayed for 3 nights with our 2 dogs. The cabin was very clean, cozy and quiet! It’s in the woods by the cute creek so make sure you have bug spray! The Alverno Market was close by and had most everything you’d need including fresh hand sliced bacon to order. Was a nice place to stay for our trip to Mackinaw City/ Island.
Just what we needed…quiet & homey. We wanted to do it all, so we picked this cottage that was close enough to Mackinac Island, near woods for ATV-ing, family game nights & s’mores around the fire. Mud Creek didn’t disappoint!
