Unbeatable location

100% of guests in the past year gave this location a 5-star rating.
Nestled on a private drive on the eastern shores of beautiful Mullett Lake, this charming cottage is Northern Michigan tranquility at its finest. Enjoy sunrises from the large deck, spend your afternoon soaking up the sun on the private dock or swimming and kayaking in the calm, sandy-bottomed cove, then close out the day with s’mores around the fire pit.

The space
Located less than a mile from Jewell Road Boat Launch along Northern Michigan’s famous Inland Waterway, this cozy and beautifully maintained lake house is the perfect Up North escape in every season.

Sleeping up to 10 guests, the home offers stunning lake views from the living and dining areas, comfortable gathering spaces, and everything you need for a relaxing stay on the water. The kitchen is well stocked and thoughtfully equipped for family meals, weekend getaways, and long lake days with friends.

Guests consistently love how clean, comfortable, and well cared for the property feels. The owners continue to thoughtfully update and improve the home year after year, including additional bathrooms and a fun garage game room that adds even more space to unwind after a day on the lake.

Sleeping arrangements include:
• Main level king bedroom
• Lower-level king bedroom
• Lower-level queen bedroom
• Spacious loft with one queen + two full beds

Whether you’re boating, fishing, snowmobiling, enjoying fall colors, or simply relaxing by the water, this hidden gem offers the kind of classic Northern Michigan lake house experience guests come back for year after year.

Guest access
Guests will have access to most of the 1.3-acre property, including the main home, outdoor spaces, and the newly renovated garage game room. The game room is both heated and air-conditioned, making it a great hangout space year-round.

A portion of the garage is separated off for owner storage, along with two locked closets inside the home.

The spacious driveway can accommodate up to four vehicles and/or trailers, perfect for guests bringing boats or recreational equipment to enjoy Northern Michigan’s famous Inland Waterway and surrounding outdoor activities.

While the main house does not currently have central air conditioning, guests are provided with multiple industrial-style fans and many enjoy the cooler lake-area evenings throughout the summer months.

Other things to note
• The home has seen many thoughtful updates over the years, including newly renovated bathrooms and a renovated garage game room completed as of Spring 2026. The game room is both heated and air-conditioned, making it a fun and comfortable space to enjoy year-round.

• The main house does not currently have central air conditioning, but the property is nicely shaded and multiple industrial-style fans are provided throughout the home. Many guests find the cooler Northern Michigan evenings very comfortable, especially near the lake.

• We provide bathroom towels, beach towels, hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, and paper towels to help make packing a little easier. Guests should plan to bring their own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

• A sturdy mooring setup is available for guest watercraft during your stay. However, guest boats and jet skis may not be placed on the owner’s boat hoists.

• The home is conveniently located about 20 minutes northeast of Indian River and 20 minutes southwest of Cheboygan, making it easy to enjoy both communities, local restaurants, trails, and attractions.

• For safety and property security, there are two exterior cameras on-site: one facing the lake and one facing the driveway entrance. There are no interior cameras.

• The fireplace in the living room is currently nonoperational and not available for guest use.

Hi, I’m Heidi. I’m a former high school teacher and current author/freelance writer. I have two boys, and we all love the outdoors. I grew up in Michigan but have been in Texas since 2009. I’m a lifelong skier, so we take as many ski trips as we can! I also enjoy running, boating, reading, and time at the beach.
