• The Pine Tree Cottage is a lovely cottage on Lake Huron, located between Mackinaw City and Cheboygan. It's in a quiet waterfront neighborhood with beautiful views of the aquamarine water of Lake Huron. The owners have worked hard to make this a perfect getaway and you'll find it very comfortable and peaceful.
• The cottage offers 2 bedrooms with an additional single bed available. There are 2 full bathrooms. The master bath contains a large jetted tub and double vanity. There is a TV and DVD player in the living room. The living room has the added benefit of cable TV, office/computer area at one end, and is very spacious at 30' long with plenty of seating area for you and your guests. There is a spacious dining table with seating for 4, a well-equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook and/or entertain. There is a lovely sun room to enjoy your breakfast or a cup of coffee (or tea). The yard is spacious and the waterfront can be viewed from the living room, sun room and the master bedroom. This is the perfect space to share with your friends and family in beautiful Northern Michigan.
• There is plenty of wildlife in the area. A large variety of birds including owls, eagles, osprey and song birds of every variety, loons, sandhill cranes, trumpeter swans and hummingbirds. There have been several black bear sightings along the US 23 stretch between Mackinaw City and Cheboygan and if you're lucky, you may hear the distant call of a wolf. Active beaver dams can be found at the nearby Mill Creek Discovery Park.
• You don't have to go far for hiking or biking, there is a 62 mile trail across the road from the cottage that you can traverse from Gaylord to Mackinaw City. Wilderness State Park is a short drive away and offers amazing beaches and several hiking trails. The Headlands and the International Dark Sky Park are located 15 minutes away. Northern Lights can be seen from time to time. There are plenty of festivals and events in the area to enjoy.
• The 4th of July celebration in Mackinaw City is one of the best in the State and the Labor Day Bridge Walk attracts thousands to enjoy the annual opportunity to cross the Mighty Mac Bridge on foot. Plenty of shopping and antiquing within a 30 mile range - there is something for everyone. The shoreline here tends to be more sandy than rocky and there are some very nice sandy beaches in both Cheboygan and Mackinaw City that your whole group will enjoy also. Come for a stay and take home memories that will last a lifetime!

Average stay for a vrbo (per our experiences). Nice partial view of the lake. Very quiet area. Older home kept up nicely. Beds could be a little better and was not able to use the jacuzzi tub. Other than that, everything was good.

Long Summer Weekend in August
We loved our stay at the Pine Tree Cottage. The view and accessibility to the water was perfect! You could see the Mackinaw bridge from the beach. It was such a cozy and cute home. Quintessential northern Michigan lake cottage. It had everything we needed for our stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very accommodating. Plenty of room for our two teenage kids to lounge and be comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings. The close proximity to Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, and Cheboygan was PERFECT. We brought our two jet skis and enjoyed Mullet Lake as well. Great restaurants and bars nearby with 10 min drive. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to our questions. Will definitely book this little gem again.

So Pleasant
Duane and Mary's cottage was such a pleasant experience and we're so glad we chose this home for our Michigan visit. Prior to our visit, Duane and Mary answered any questions we had. A good location, clean and neat, and being there felt so welcoming. When we weren't out enjoying what the area had to offer, we had a home away from home where we could relax.

A great place to stay for fun in northern Michigan
The cabin was clean and had a great woodsy feel to it. There are so many places to sit, relax, sip coffee, eat, chat, and play board games in this cabin. It was a great place to start and end days of touring the fun of the Mackinaw area. Sipping coffee on the patio watching the sun rise over lake Huron was fantastic. The two nice bedrooms and two bathrooms made it ideal for our group of two couples, but families would love this cabin as well. The hosts were very good to deal with and were quick to respond. I would definitely stay here again.

Very comfortable
This house was perfect for us. The beds were comfortable and the 2 bedrooms were roomy and private. As an early riser, I appreciated the fact that the kitchen was far enough away from the bedrooms that I didn't disturb the rest of our party while having my coffee. We loved the location being close to the attractions of Mackinaw, but far enough away to be peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed the firepit and appreciated the owner having the wood for us to burn. The kitchen was well equipped as we cooked there every day. I would definitely recommend this property .

Deceiving pictures
The pictures make you believe there were no houses between this property and the house. Also stated you have beach access, this is only acquired from the nice couple between you and the beach. There does need to be a couple of major repairs for people with mobility issues, the handrail from first to second floor is very loose also threshold from sunroom to patio is loose. We did enjoy our stay.

Girls Turn 60 Getaway
This cottage worked out perfectly for our girls trip to the UP and Mackinac Island area! Just outside of Mackinaw City, it was a 10 min drive to get to the ferry and shopping. But, quiet enough for some well deserved relaxation! Lake Huron provided the perfect setting for a lawn chair, glass of wine and good conversations! The shoreline is pretty rocky - for sure need beach shoes. The property would be great for families as well. One suggestion to future renters is to bring your own paper products if going to be there more than one night. We would definitely rent again if coming to the area.

Mother and daughter trip
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this site. The view of Lake Huron was beautiful. The lake is RIGHT THERE! No steep steps required to get to the water. The house interior has a rustic homey vibe that we just loved. It reminded us of my parents' home. The house was very clean and comfortable. While we were there, we saw a large eagle in a nearby tree. It was visible from the front window. It was perched in a nearby tree for 20 minutes and then flew off. We also met the next-door neighbors during our stay. Absolutely delightful people. We will certainly return. To the owners: Thank you for sharing your home. And thank you for the wine and candy gift.

A cozy place
The property was overall ok. It served the need we had, which was a place to sleep. Was it superb? Not really. It is among 3 other properties and not right on the water. You have to walk to the water past 2 other properties. The most significant downfall in my opinion is that looking under the beds, there were cracker crumbs and trash. It has possibly not been vacuumed in a while. Also, it had a musty smell with outdated furniture in the living room. The beds were marginally comfortable and the pillows were lacked fresh feel. kind of limp and cheap. The bathrooms were clean and updated and the kitchen was just fine.

Perfect for 4
We rented Pine Cottage for a summer getaway for 3 nights, for two couples. The living space was great with partial lake view from the living and master area, good privacy for each couple. We enjoyed taking morning strolls down to the lake and quality time inside the house. There are two fireplaces, indoor and an outdoor pit. The indoor fireplace is restricted to private use only but since it was summer, we didn't need it. We also enjoyed cooking and eating breakfast at the table every morning, as the kitchen was fully equipped. The location is only 15min away from Mackinaw which was great as it was away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The host left us a welcoming gift which was a nice gesture. The whole house, including dishes, bedding, towels and bathroom, was very clean; there was a very mild musty smell that we noticed in the clothes cabinet/drawers that is very normal with any waterfront property. We got accustomed to it quickly and it did not bother us at all. There were a lot of tourist info brochures at the cottage, we found them very useful. We would definitely rent this place again at the next opportunity we get.

A lovely stay
The home was very nice unfortunately we were in the middle of a heat wave even the lake breezes were not adequate for cooling. Access to the lake was a bonus! In our short stay we attended a concert in Cheboygan, visited Mackinac Island and the Soo Locks and also took a glass bottom boat ride out of Cheboygan. And of course had a beer ay Cheyboyagn Brewing!
