Lakefront, dock and cabana, sleeps 6

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!

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!

Nice cabin
Very comfortable and clean. Loved being on the lake even though we didn’t get to enjoy the kayaks because of the wind the one day we had planned to stay put. Although we did swim in the lake and had fun. Having the washer and dryer was a big plus. TV reception wasn’t great and the cabin needs some updating cookware.

Great Stay at the Chalet!
We had a great time on Carp/Paradise Lake and the chalet. Used the kayaks multiple times, loved the location. Had some great success fishing just off the dock. Enjoyed some needed family time. Thanks for a great property!

Phenomenal Stay
This property is beautiful. Spotless home. Brightly lit and nicely decorated. Amenities were excellent. Obvious care was taken to make sure we enjoyed our stay. My husband and I, two kids and my MIL and FIL had a wonderful stay. Great location! Close enough to enjoy adventure river rafting and day trip to Mackinaw Island. Lake Huron and Lake Michigan beaches. The more crowded areas. Remote enough to enjoy our own private dock, do some fishing and kayaking. kids also loved swimming in here at Carp Lake. Rocks instead of sand , but no problem with water shoes. We’ve done many beach vacations to SC over the years. However this spot quickly became a favorite because it was the right mix of fun and oh so relaxing. Enjoyed the serene sunrises and sunsets of Carp Lake.

35th anniversary getaway
We loved our anniversary getaway! This VRBO was exactly what we were looking for. The area is fairly secluded but right across the road from Paradise lake. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, birdwatching, and enjoying the spectacular sunsets from the pier. It is very short drive to the ferry to Mackinac Island...another highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this place. We hope to come back in the future.
