Tranquil Retreat Among the Trees - Year-Round Adventure with Water Access | Cabin in Carp Lake
1 Bedroom Cabin in Levering, Carp Lake
Wading Bird Point Cottage, a peaceful hideaway tucked among the trees, offers an exceptional 150 feet of waterfront on the shimmering shores of Lake Paradise. This enchanting getaway provides the perfect escape from the bustle of everyday life, yet remains conveniently located just under 8 miles from the charming town of Mackinaw City and a scenic 28 miles from Petoskey and other beloved resort towns throughout Northern Michigan.
Whether you’re seeking a summer sanctuary or a cozy winter retreat, this cottage sets the scene for relaxation, adventure, and meaningful time away.
In summer, enjoy sun-soaked days along the picturesque walking path that leads to the lakefront, unwind on your private dock, and rinse off in the refreshing outdoor shower (operational during summer months only). Spend quiet mornings with a book in hand, reconnect with loved ones over slow meals, or explore local towns before returning to soak in the hot tub under twinkling bistro lights.
In winter, the cottage becomes an inviting snowy escape. A nearby snowmobile trail makes it an ideal hub for cold-weather adventure, and the property offers trailer parking—perfect for guests bringing gear. After a day on the trails, warm up by the glow of the gas fireplace and enjoy the cozy ambiance of this charming wooded retreat.
Inside, the cottage’s thoughtful design blends rustic warmth with comfort. Cozy pine interior walls, soaring ceilings, and abundant windows create an airy yet intimate atmosphere. The inviting living area is anchored by a flickering gas fireplace and features comfortable seating for lounging, reading, or enjoying a movie night. The clever flip-down built-in table nook is ideal for relaxed meals or morning coffee.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for on-site cooking, including a full gas range, ample cabinetry, essential cookware, and charming touches that make meal prep feel effortless. Or take dinner outside and use the charcoal grill for a cozy, fire-kissed evening meal.
Head upstairs to the spacious loft bedroom—a bright and welcoming haven outfitted with a queen bed, a cozy twin daybed, a TV, and natural light streaming in through the windows. Whether you're winding down from a day of adventure or catching a quiet afternoon nap, it's the perfect place to relax.
While this home shares a property with another house, it’s thoughtfully arranged to prioritize privacy. The dock is exclusively reserved for your use as a rental guest, and designated parking (including trailer parking) ensures a smooth and convenient stay.
Please note: Water toys, boats, and snowmobiles are not included with the rental. If you’d like information on rentals, we’re happy to share recommendations!
