About this property

We would like to assure you that every precaution has been taken and the housekeeping staff follows the CDC guidelines for cleanliness.

This is a newer lakefront property with sunset views over beautiful Paradise Lake. Cross the country lane to a private beachfront on a sandy bottom lake with cabana and "L" shaped dock. Bring your water toys but we have 2 kayaks for your use. Paradise is a great fishing Lake so bring your poles; some fishing tackle is available on site. Paradise Chalet is located just minutes from Mackinaw City and the ferries to Mackinac Island but offers you a private and peaceful retreat to return to. It's nestled in a quiet cove and surrounded by forest.

This spotless cottage is light and airy with lots of windows and amazing views of Paradise Lake. It offers everything you need to enjoy your vacation - just bring your groceries! The master bedroom adjoins the bathroom on the main floor and has a queen sized bed. The upstairs loft has 2 queen beds. The main floor has an open design with living room, dining room and kitchen. There is a very large deck drenched in sun which faces the lake. The cottage features central air, a new washer/dryer, DISH satellite, WIFI and a water treatment system to remove that ‘country water’ that so many cottages have. We also offer 2 bikes for your use.

The location is so perfect to enjoy Northern Michigan. Situated minutes from Mackinaw City, the Mackinac Bridge, St. Ignace (the gateway to the Upper Peninsula) Cheboygan, the beautiful Inland Waterway, Les Cheneaux Islands, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Good Hart, and Charlevoix - the list goes on and on! The fall colors are unbeatable and there are lots of opportunities for viewing them. Organized bike rides, road races for runners and winery and brewery tours are very popular. Golf, fish, boat, swim, ski, hike, bike, antiquing, casinos, winery/brewery tours. What's your pleasure?

If you love biking, the North Western State Trail can be accessed through Carp Lake and passes through many communities along the way, including Conway, Oden, Ponshewaing, Brutus, Pellston, Van, and Levering. In 2018, the scenic route was recognized with a National Recreation Trail designation.

The spring and fall are great for bird watching - especially the hawk migration in early spring. We've personally witnessed it and it takes your breath away to see the hundreds of raptors circling the sky to make their annual crossing of the Straits of Mackinac.

Join us as guests and make this a memorable vacation spot that you will want to return to over and over again!

Paradise Lake Vliek trip

Overall I thought the property was great, nice and quiet. The lake was perfect. It wasn't busy at all. The location is great as well, so close to Mackinaw. The only thing I think would help the property and the experience is if their was a fire pit. Their were multiple times we wish we could of had a fire.

Very wonderful!!!!

This cottage was beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed everything about it. It is well decorated without being cluttered. It was spotlessly clean. Everything about the check in and check out was simple. The private dock was so peaceful. We loved kayaking. The bikes look to be very nice, although we did not have a chance to use them. We hope to return in the future. Thank you!

Beautiful Stay

LOVED the area and the property! It was far enough in the woods that it made us feel like we were truly away from it all! The lake was awesome and we thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks. Although it was cool weather, and we did not swim, my 3 year old grandson absolutely had a blast splashing in the water and throwing rocks. Water shoes advised since there are many rocks near shore. This was one of the most peaceful places I have ever stayed and the house really was lovely!
