About this property

Charming Historic Mackinaw City Cottage

  • Beautiful remodeled cottage in the heart of Mackinaw City. Located city centre and only a stone throw from Main Street. The cottage is a short three block walk from the Ferry lines to Historic Mackinac Island. Listed as a home but the feel of a historic Up North Cottage. Plenty of space for family gatherings. The ground floor has a full bathroom and a laundry room with a washing machine/dryer doubling as a half bath. Upstairs has two bedrooms, a bathroom and an open area with two twin built in beds and a sectional with a sofa sleeper. Great for the youngsters! Outside you will find a nice yard, great for watching summer Tuesday and Friday night fireworks!. This is a quiet area in a residential area.
    Things to do locally: City centre Mackinaw City where there is excellent shopping, food, breweries and indoor water parks among several other tourist adventures. Near is skiing, golfing, boating, beaches, parasailing, Casino, the Mackinac Bridge leading to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and last but not least the ferry lines providing transport to Historic Mackinac Island.

Perfect location!

We loved the comfort and cleanliness of the house. It was great to be able to walk to the ferry, the lighthouse, the bakery, several other restaurants, and the main shopping area. The kitchen had a good selection of necessary utensils and pots, and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great location Cute place!

We stayed here with Friends and loved the place. The location is a lot closer to shopping and the water than the listing has stated which was a pleasant surprise. We would stay here again and recommend it to others. We had an issue with the AC unit when we first got there ( which we understand issues can always happen at anytime) the owner had someone there and had it resolved within an hour. 10/10 would recommend.

Great college reunion!!

Five sorority sisters from the 60's spent four fun filled days in this cute house. It is perfect for sightseeing in Mackinaw City as well as getting to the ferry to Mackinaw Island. The convenience was wonderful. The house was clean, equipped with all the kitchen utensils necessary and quite cozy. I would recommend a visit!!

A Hidden Gem in Mackinaw City

As soon as I viewed The Charming Historic Mackinaw City Cottage on vrbo I knew I wanted to stay there. The location was perfect for walking to the places we wanted to go including the historic sites, ferry, shops and restaurants. In the evening we took walks to see the Mackinaw Bridge lit up and stroll along the lake front. The furniture in the house was cozy and the kitchen was well equipped. The decorum made for a relaxing vacation atmosphere. I highly recommend this charming home.

Great central location for Mackinaw City

Really enjoyed this location—walking distance to several of Mackinaw City’s better dining options, easy access to ferries to Mackinac Island, and perfect positioning to conveniently start the Bridge Walk from the south side. Easy drives to Tahquamenon and nice beaches along Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. House was nice as well—seems to have received some new updates just recently. Our son enjoyed the beds in the loft and the two rooms at the top for the adults were cozy and adequate. Would return again as a base for exploring the area.

Great Location, Comfy Stay

This house was so convenient for everything in Mackinaw. We could walk everywhere. We had a spacious, quiet stay in the center of it all. The house was clean and comfortable, it fit all of our needs and we felt cozy staying in the house as much as exploring. At first is was going to be our family of 5, and then my parents stayed with us. It easily fit all 7 of us with additional family coming over who traveled with us. We had a small snaffoo at checkin, but our host was immediately responsive, and even provided us with a giftcard in town to Mackinaw Bakery, which I recommend for great food and good service. Definitely worth your stay!

Property is right where you want to be in Mackinaw City. Walking distance to the ferry, downtown, many restaurants, Wienerlicious, and just south of the bridge. The house itself has two closed bedrooms but plenty of other places to sleep. Clean and easy. Host communicated well. Laundry was in the house. Would recommend to others who want to stay in Mackinaw.
