Summary: Ruth's cottage was fantastic. It was clean, quaint, cozy, and in a great location. Easy access to Mackinaw City, Petoskey, Indian River, etc. We will absolutely be back. Ruth was a great host - very quick communication and very accommodating!

Summary: My three sons and my husband and myself stayed at Ruth’s little cabin while visiting my parents for an early Christmas stay. The house was warm and clean and in a cute little neighborhood in the village of Carp Lake. We loved the miniature sun porch where my son and I painted a couple mornings and of course the lake itself. Even frozen, the water is beautiful and such a special place to live. Communication with Ruth was simple and fast and checkin was a breeze. The neighbor across the street even waved and asked if we need him to swing his blower across and clear the driveway the day we were leaving. I wished there was an extra set of bedding to use on the r fold out couch available just in case and I also found myself wishing for a couch throw on those chilly mornings. We would love to come back again in the summer and enjoy the dock and the summer view.

Summary: This property is a quaint cabin on the lake. Close to everything we planned for our time in Michigan. The cabin is well maintained and very nice and comfortable. We loved watching the wildlife on the lake and the sunset in the evening.

Summary: This was exactly what we were looking for - small, cozy cabin for my family! We didn’t spend a ton of time at the VRBO as we were out and about. Ruth was fantastic to communicate with! She left a bottle of wine, had plenty of pamphlets of the area and everything you’d need (stocked kitchen, plenty of blankets (it was chilly when we stayed).My kids loved the lake and “fished”. I would 100% book again.

Summary: This was the perfect little place for our family of 3. Our 9 year old spent the week fishing off the dock and playing with the neighbors dog Trip! The area is so quiet and peaceful. The home was clean, had everything we could have needed and updated more than most of the available rentals in the area. Walking distance to restaurant and Chubbs bait shop. Short drive into town to walk Mackinaw City. We are grateful for a week in Ruth’s Paradise!
