Little Lem's on Lake Huron

This is a cozy Guest House that sleeps 6 and has 1 bath. This is a great, super clean, option for a small family on a budget. It is located on 5 acres with over 300 feet of frontage on Lake Huron.

The cottage was designed with comfort in mind and looks like it's right off the pages of Cottage Living Magazine! It features 2 bedrooms and has everything you need to make your vacation enjoyable. The kitchen has an electric glass top stove and a full size refrigerator as well as all the pots, pans and cooking utensils you need to prepare your meals onsite. There is a lovely table and chairs in front of the large windows facing the lake or take your meals out on the beach. We have provided top of the line Williams Sonoma kitchen appliances, a custom bathroom with walk-in shower and on demand hot water, a washer and dryer, king size bed in master bedroom with double closet, twin bed with trundle in second bedroom.

The cottage is decorated throughout with Pottery Barn furniture, tableware, dishes and glassware.

Be sure to visit the quaint Cecil Bay Trading Co. (walking distance) which carries most grocery/fishing necessities but they also rent kayaks and bikes AND have ice cream and freshly made pastries.

Although the cottage is away from the hustle and bustle of Mackinaw City, it is a short 15 minute drive to get there. Shop, dine or enjoy some famous Mackinac fudge or a fresh churned ice cream cone.

They say "location is everything" and you won't find a better location to enjoy all that Northern Michigan has to offer.

If you are interested in star-gazing, the night sky over Lake Michigan is beautiful. You can also drive 10 minutes to the Headlands - designated as a 'DARK SKY PRESERVE' - one of only a few locations in the USA! This is given to a few special areas that are free of artificial light. The night sky is breathtakingly beautiful!

In the spring, birdwatchers gather from all over the country to catch a glimpse of the incredible hawk migration. Historic Fort Michilimackinac and the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, McGulpin Point Lighthouse and the ferry docks to Mackinac Island - are all minutes away.

In the fall, take the color tour through the "tunnel of trees" or enjoy spectacular scenery in the Upper Peninsula, an easy drive across the mighty Mackinac Bridge. There's nothing quite like the sound of bugling elks during mating season at Pigeon River or the mysterious call of the loon on a quiet lake. It's all here! Hunt, fish, hike, canoe, bike - you can do it all or you can just relax with a good book. There is something for everyone here.

Dad/Daughter Trip

Great little cottage on the lake! Very close to Mackinaw City, beautiful lake views. Perfect for our dad daughter trip to walk the bridge on Labor Day. It’s tough to see the driveway at night but luckily there’s a second chance with the horseshoe driveway.

Some R&R

We had a great stay at Little Lem! The owners are so kind and welcoming. The booklet they created with local information was helpful. The space along the lake was perfect for spending the evening with our kids rock hunting!

Made our honeymoon special

When my wife and i arrived to the property we were greeted by the owner who came by and gave us homemade cookies which were delicious. The cottage itself is very cute and homey. The property is maintained very well and looks better that it does in the photos. It is such a peaceful place and is perfect for spending time with family while being a convenient distance from the island.

Stayed at this cabin for a week. The most clean and bug-free cabin we have ever stayed at! Hosts could not have been any kinder! Location was so close to EVERYTHING and the view of Lake Huron from the window or porch was just breathtaking!! Highly Highly recommended.

Mackinac Island trip

The house was great, it was just enough for all of us. And it was nice being able to have your own beach to swim at, fire pit, and the views were great. And both Cheboygan and Mackinaw City were very close to the house if you needed anything, or to catch the ferry to Mackinac Island. I would come back again if we do another trip to the Island.

Time well spent.

Cabin was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was difficult though. Very small. Shower was adequate but shampoo/soap holder would work better if it was on the side instead of hanging from shower head. The connection for the shower hose came loose from the weight of it.

Lakefront cottage

The cottage was just as pictured and described. It was close to all the activities that we wanted to do. The view was beautiful and the bike trail across the street was great. We spent one day riding around Mackinac Island, another day riding the trail to Cheboygan and exploring the city, and another kayaking right from the property. The owners were super nice and helpful, and the homemade cookies were delicious! It was a perfect getaway to celebrate our anniversary!

Perfect location

Just Kevin was perfect for us, only drawback was a very small bathroom. The location couldn't have been better, only 5 miles to Mackinaw City and the ferry to Mackinac Island,and very close to Cheboygan too. View of the lake was beautiful and we spent a lot of time sitting on the swing down by the water. House was very friendly and accommodating and a wealth of information and things to seem to in the area. Would definitely stay again but would out for one of the other rooms with a bigger bathroom, and a bedroom with a door separating it from the main living area.

Loved it!

The property is beautiful! Everything we needed to provided. We didn’t ask for the homemade cookies but dang they were good. The teens loved the lake and we were able to play even though it was cold! We used the fire pit down by the lake and loved sitting out there. It was close enough to everything but nice to have quiet at night. Everything in the cabin was perfect. Enough towels, bedding and some extras. Thank you for having us. We loved our time!!

Can we move in?

WOW! We LOVED Lem’s Paradise and will definitely be back. Everything about this place is fantastic. The owners are super sweet and accommodating, even baking cookies for our family. The cottage was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the little charcoal grill that was supplied and the grate over the fire pit. The swing was perfectly placed on the PRIVATE beach to see the fireworks over the bridge at night. We enjoyed swimming in the water, which was shallow and warm. We enjoyed a quiet bonfire where we ate s’mores, enjoyed the lake and lights from the bridge, and then read the Legend of Mackinac. From Lem’s you could really see the “turtle shape” and our kiddos loved that. We were amazed to see the Northern Lights one night. My husband and I were able to sneak away from the cabin because our baby monitor reached to the lake. Lem’s Paradise truly is everything you need for a perfect Michigan getaway. It was fantastic and we are ready to pack our bags and move in! ❤️

My mother and I took my boys on a trip to the UP and Mackinaw Island before school started back up. The property is conveniently located to so many attractions! We had a blast and a nice quiet cabin to go back to. The boys enjoyed swimming in the lake very much. Thank you for the cute cottage to stay in.
