Cozy Cabin with Amazing Sunsets

Escape to the serenity of Northern Michigan and stay in our charming Birch Landing cottage, one of three cottages available to rent. Nestled at the water's edge, our cottage offers a perfect location for peace and tranquility while still being close to all the area's attractions. With one bedroom and a sleeper sofa, it comfortably accommodates up to four guests.


Step out of the cottage onto the wooden trail, and you'll find yourself in the midst of the Stony Point Nature Preserve. It's a nature lover's paradise with miles of hiking trails to explore. A stone's throw away is the Carp Lake Township Park, a historic park with a swing set by the water that's perfect for soaking in the serene atmosphere.


Our cottage's dock is fully equipped with watercraft for our guests to explore Lake Paradise, known for its fantastic fishing, with Walleye, Bass, Perch, Pike, and Bluegill among the species you can catch. The gradual slope of the lake bottom makes it ideal for small children to swim. For those who prefer to stay on land, our yard games, including Corn hole, Badminton, Croquet, and Whirly Ball, will keep you entertained.


Inside the cottage, you'll be greeted by the comfort of white-knotty pine everywhere, adding a rustic and cozy ambiance that can't be beaten while reading by the stone fireplace. Vintage and homemade decorations add a dash of local charm. The kitchen comes fully equipped with modern appliances, making homemade meals a pleasure. An updated bathroom with elegant tile and modern fixtures and a king-size bed ensure that you'll never feel cramped while sleeping. Our guests love that they feel like they're camping here without having to "rough it."


Our cottage rental includes spectacular sunsets, TrueStream fiber internet, a dedicated fire pit, lawn games, kayaks/SUPs, and much more. We also have two other cottages available on the property, perfect for extended family reunions.

When you're ready to venture out, take a ferry boat to historic Mackinac Island, famous for its delicious fudge. Or pack a picnic lunch and spend time on the miles of beach at Wilderness State Park. Cycle on miles of dedicated bike paths in the region, including the Petoskey-Mackinaw bike path, a quick ride from the cottage. Spend the day shopping and having lunch in Harbor Springs and Petoskey, or take a short drive across the famous Mackinaw Bridge to see the beauty of the Upper Peninsula. Golf or play tennis in the nearby village or relax at the cottage with a good book while the others fish or swim. The area also has many country/lakeside dining spots.


At the end of the day, enjoy breathtaking sunsets from your own sunroom. Later, roast marshmallows over the bonfire at the lake's edge. Please note that for our early spring and late fall guests, it can get cold during the shoulder months, so please come prepared. Our cottages are cozy but not equipped with central heating and cooling. You'll enjoy the cozy fireplace, and we have a small electric heater, but that's it. Bring a sweater, a warm blanket, and enjoy the fall colors!

NEW for 2024-- Remodeled bathroom.

Very cute!
We enjoyed our stay very much! I think what would have made it a little better would be a more comfortable couch to sit on so we could sit together. I’m not sure the layout would allow for that though. The furniture is old. Also light on the back of the house would be helpful and around the drive to the cabin. It was extremely dark coming back at night. It was very peaceful though and the sunset view was absolutely beautiful. Host was really great as well.

Cozy cabin for 2
This is a small, nicely equipped cabin for 2 adults. It's the last home on its corner of the lake. There is a walking trail along the lake. Their owner has 3 cabins. This is the smallest, but most private.

Peace Beauty Stars Adventure
Peace - Located at the dead end of a road there is no traffic sound to disturb as you listen to waves lapping and birds. Beauty - The lakefront and birch trees fill your view and oh, what amazing sunsets. Stars - So. Many. Stars. On a clear night I took amazing pictures of the Milky Way. Adventure - So much to do on property with the lake toys provided as well as bike trails nearby. Venturing out, this is the perfect base to explore Macinaw Island, Mackinaw City, state parks, and the towns on the shores of both Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The cabin itself is fantastic, with comfortable furnishings and everything you need. Bring your clothes and some food and get ready for a relaxing vacation that you won’t want to end!

Quiet Escape
The cottage was located right on Lake Paradise. While the cottage was small for our group of 4, it was everything that we needed. It was clean, quiet and right on the lake. The yard games and kayaks on the property kept our family entertained. It was a bit of an adventure through the woods to get to the parking at this particular cabin. A larger truck or SUV might have a bit of trouble navigating the narrow path. This isn't a complaint - just a heads up for the next person staying here. Management was nice and quick to respond to the couple of texts I sent during our stay. Would recommend for a couple or a smaller family.

The property was very clean and decorated very nice. The front sunroom was amazing and we enjoyed sitting out there and watch the lake and the awesome sunsets! The cabin is just so peaceful and tucked away from everything. We enjoyed sitting by the outdoor fire pit and all wood is supplied which was a nice touch! We highly recommend this beautiful cabin!!!

Darling cabin!
We were enchanted by this cabin and its location. It’s a cozy getaway, down a road that dead ends at—this cabin! The nights were cool, so we built a fire in the fireplace every night. Mere steps from Paradise Lake, and the sunsets were wonderful. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Mackinaw city is just a few miles away. Bring mosquito repellent. Arrive in daylight. This place may be difficult to find in the dark!

Perfect Getaway Cabin
We absolutely loved our weekend getaway to Lake Paradise and this cute cabin. The cabin was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the view from the screened porch was fabulous. We dealt with a lot of mosquitoes inside the cabin - never figured out how they were getting in, but at least they were slow and easily dealt with! Also - if you want to use a SUP - bring your own paddle because the ones available have broken telescoping handles that won’t stay extended. Overall a 5* stay and I think we’ll be back in the future!

Mackinac Island trip
My mother and I came up to spend a long weekend and visit Mackinac island. The cabin was cute cozy and clean. We didn’t cook a thing for 3 days and only had to wash 2 coffee cups. It was lovely to relax lake side after long days out and about. Mornings sitting by the lake were lovely too. Thanks for hosting us!

Tranquility at Paradise Lake
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The location is great, as it is close to almost everything at the "tip of the mitten". Our communication with the property manager was easy and she promptly replied. Things we loved: - Location - Property is on the lake - Many options for yard games and lake toys - King sized bed / very comfortable - All towels supplied / bath and kitchen - Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and dinnerware - Nice outdoor sitting area and sunroom Areas for improvement: - size of the shower or the actual shower head (something more moveable) / had a tough time as a short person - water was pelting me in the face We have stayed in tents through pouring rain, many other rental homes and 5 star all inclusive resorts. I don't think you will be disappointed with this place unless you think it should be the equivalent of a fancy resort. If you are looking to unwind and relax and your priority is just to have a comfy place to lay your head at night, then look no further.

Family getaway
We stayed in the smaller cottage (3 Adults, 2 teens 16,16). The bedroom was very large with tons of storage. The living area had a couch that converted into a bed. The porch area was good for our portable cot that we brought. Tons of windows that could be opened to be able to enjoy the amazing breeze that comes in from the lake. The kitchen had a nice size refrigerator, stove, and microwave. The bathroom is very small. The cottage was clean and had towels, dish soap, shampoo & conditioner. The outdoor games and water activities were Awesome!! I would highly recommend this property.

Listing is deceiving - not worth the price - no "Lake Paradise"
1. When I found the property, I searched on Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. But, it's 2 hours away. Maybe not the owner's fault - but definitely VRBO. 2. When we pulled down the dirt/gravel road, we had an eery/uneasy feeling due to several neighbors at different homes staring at us drive by. 3. The lake is not at all in a "Lake Paradise" condition with sludge at the edges, dock area, etc., weeds popping up all over the lake, etc. 4. As we were planning to cook and stay, we were told by Kelly, Property Manager, that the nearest grocery store is a Walmart 30 minutes away. In addition, when we first tried to contact Kelly, we called and couldn't leave a message due to her voice mail being full. So, I had to text her. 5. Except for bedroom bed, furniture is very old, with upholstery tearing and ripping.

Great quiet getaway
Our first time "up north" after four years living in Michigan. We were very happy with the cottage. Perfect for a couple, we also had our 18 year old son with us for 5 of the 7 nights. He was comfortable on the sofa bed. We had to pull in a chair for the dining table, but that was no problem. Four people would be tighter, but would be doable. We like to do most of our own cooking, and found the kitchen to be quite well equipped. One night we cooked with the charcoal grill, and another night we used the wood firepit with included grill. We brought charcoal but later found that both charcoal and firewood are included. The evenings that it was warm inside we had dinner on the picnic table out back. We enjoyed the stand-up paddle boards, the kayaks, and swimming. We hoped to fish more, but the lake is very shallow (mostly 5-10 feet) except for the very middle which is a long way out without a motor. Within 500 yards or so we hooked just a few bluegill. One night we watched the included Netflix, but never tried the DVD player. Communication with the property manager was excellent. The one time the WiFi went out she responded to my text within 5 or 10 minutes, suggesting that we try unplugging then plugging the repeater/router back in, which did the trick. All in all, it was the perfect cottage for our 4th of July week getaway.

A Slice of Paradise
This property offers an excellent stay on Lake Paradise with easy access to Mackinaw City and beyond. The property itself boasts beautiful views over the Lake and a rustic feel that exceeds expectations. My husband and I enjoyed using the kayaks provided, outdoor fire pit, and indoor fireplace. Our favorite room in the cabin was the sunroom where we sat and rested after the long drive from Mississippi. From the cabin we were able to easily visit Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, Petoskey Beach, Cheboygan, and even traverse the Upper Peninsula. The host provides plenty of wood for the fire and kindling is easily collected from the surrounding forest. The ONLY thing we wish was better about our stay is the shower. The stream of water from the shower head feels like a pressure washer and is too abrasive to the point where we dreaded showering. We recommend a different shower head that allows a gentler stream as well as better conservation of hot water. Furthermore, the last day of our stay we heard critters squeaking in the ceiling, but this is understandable to some degree being so close to the Nature Reserve. My husband and I would definitely recommend a stay here for rest and relaxation or traveling to the surrounding cities and State Parks.
