2 Bedroom Cottage in Carp Lake

This is a cozy two bedroom cottage (sleeps 4. Note: in 2026 the sleeper sofa will likely be replaced with a sectional, so no extra sleeping space) that has been completely renovated fall 2019/winter2020. It’s on a quiet and private wooded lot on a dead end road. The main part of the cottage is a mobile home with an attached 4 season room addition on the lake side.
The 4 season room has 2 sofas, dining area with a high chair, and a wood stove, books and games. It’s a relaxing place to read, watch the numerous ships that go by (with the telescope), play games, or nap. The view out the many windows is of the Straights of Mackinaw, including St. Helena Island, and the many pines and cedars on the property.
One bedroom has a queen bed, the other a full size bed.
The bathroom has a tub/shower and a small washer/dryer unit.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range, full size fridge, microwave, coffee pot, Keurig coffee machine, and dishwasher.
The former dining area is now a pantry area with room to store and prep your food.
The “den” is the original living room with a sofa and smart TV with DVD player.
Outside is a gas grill, deck with seating, fire pit, and storage shed with 3 kayaks and a canoe for your enjoyment. The waterfront is beautiful with crystal clear shallow water with a sandy bottom. Bald eagles nest nearby and fly overhead. The towers and north causeway of the Mackinac Bridge are visible from the beachfront, which is especially beautiful at night. We have added security cameras- one is aimed at the driveway and road and 2 are aimed at the water away from our beach just so we can see the weather/water. The one near the campfire area will be removed before warm weather for the privacy our guests. The other is near the shed facing the lot/beach to the west.
We are close to Wilderness State Park and the Headlands Dark Sky Park- but the stars are just as visible right out our door. Mackinaw City is 7 miles away. For convenience, the Trading Post store is a short walk away- it sells food, souvenirs, scooped ice cream, pizza for takeout, firewood, and bike and kayak rentals. You will want to check it out.
Internet was added after the remodel so we have that available now thankfully.

Summary: By old friends I mean seniors looking for a spot to relax with a view of Lake Michigan. The cottage provided that. Great view of the Straights of Mackinac. Equipped with everything we needed - possibly even more than needed - lots of stuff in cupboards & drawers. There were a couple issues for us - the first was accessibility. we didn’t realize it would be a problem based on the listing. one of us has mobility issues requiring the use of a wheeled walker. The hallway to the bedrooms and bathroom is narrow and the bedrooms are so small that the walker could not be used inside either bedroom or the bathroom and There were no hand rails to assist in stepping up to the decks that were at entry level. The second issue was that in the smaller bedroom there was no room for even a single small suitcase. The closet could have provided that space but it was filled with extra linens, boxes, and a vacuum cleaner. We had to put our two small carry-on size bags in the living room. If you have no mobility issues and have packed very light this cottage is wonderful. For us - not so much.

Summary: The place was gorgeous but unfortunately the gnats and mice made it less than enjoyable at times. If hosts got pests under control it would be five stars.

Summary: My family and I stayed at this property for four nights! It has absolutely breathtaking views. The first night was nice and clear and the stars were absolutely amazing. I have never seen stars like that. Unfortunately, the other nights were cloudy, but the beach is so nice. Crystal Clear water, kayaking was so fun and my 10 year old learned to do it on her own! We went to Mackinac Island one day and biked around it. You have to do this while you’re in the area. They also have sweet horses if you don’t want to bike. The city is fun and the food at the Key Hole was great! The house was nice and clean and I loved the wood burning fireplace. The couple that ran the trading post were very nice. They have everything you need, even amazing ice cream! The beach access is also very cool.and clean! We had such a great trip! We have already booked our next one ❤️

Summary: Our family (husband, wife and two 4 year old kids) stayed at Cecil Bay for our “home base” while visiting the Mackinaw area. It’s a perfect location for quick access to Mackinaw City, ferry boats to the island and the U.P. while being away from the city to have your own quiet oasis to enjoy the peace of northern Michigan. The beach area is perfect for young kids. Tons of sandy area to play in and very shallow water for 100s of feet as you walk out. We enjoyed use of the canoe and kayak as well. Would definitely stay again in a return trip to the Mackinaw area.

Summary: This was our second stay, and we loved it again. You just can't beat a private beach. It also has easy access to the bridge and ferries to the island. Definitely recommend!

Summary: This was a such a magical place!! The perfect little cottage. Beautifully updated, a great location with it only being 15 mins to Mackinaw City. The beach and the views of the lake were breathtaking. The kitchen has everything you could think of so we could prepare meals. Highly recommend.
