4 BEDROOM COTTAGE ON MULLETT LAKE NEAR MACKINAW AND PETOSKEY ON INLAND WATERWAY

We just returned from our week at Mullet Lake - what a great time! The cottage is located on the calm side of the lake which was wonderful! The owners put in new living room furniture - comfortable leather chairs and sofas as well a new adirondack chairs in the back. The kitchen was a good size and had everything we needed. The cottage was great for what we needed - comfortable accomodations (beds were comfortable) and pet friendly. We brought our 5 yr old black lab and he had a great time jumping off the dock or diving for rocks (with his mouth) in the lake. The pictures on this website are true to what you will get (except the living room furniture has been updated). The cottage definitely met our needs and we would rent again! Since there are only a few tv channels available (no cable), make sure you bring movies for any down time you may have if you want to watch tv....we had perfect weather all week and spent all of our time outside - so very little tv. Our Iphones worked great at the cottage...

It’s been our family get away for over 7 years and we have enjoyed each and every year. Our days are filled with slow moving mornings, active afternoons, and relaxing evenings. The accommodations met our needs - simple, roomy, clean, and affordable. The cottage has a beautiful fieldstone fireplace and a picture window that looks out across the lake. Early in the morning I will sit with a cup of coffee, watching through the picture window in the living room the sunrise over the lake- it’s simply beautiful. During the day we spend most of our time outside swimming, water skiing, kayaking, fishing, bike riding, long walks, reading lazily by the water, or sitting by the camp fire enjoying conversation and cocktails. If it’s raining we’ll watch movies, play cards or games around the big table or head into town to go shopping. At night you are serenaded by the loons and the water as it laps up against the shoreline – it’s this memory of the loons and the water that stays with me, brings a smile to my face, and brings me back each year.

The lake, location and weather were spectacular on our vacation, but the cottage was not what we expected. The lake is shallow and perfect for kids.

The cottage definitely needs cleaning - not just surface cleaning, but deep cleaning from top to bottom. Furniture could use some updating - existing furniture on the screened in porch is broken and should be thrown out - we couldn't sit in it.

We loved the firepit and used it daily, but there were only 4 chairs, one of which was broken. Nicer adirondack chairs would have been heavenly - even new plastic ones would have been perfect. If a house sleeps 8-9, we thought there should be seating at the fire for that many.

We loved our week at Mullett Lake, but if the weather hadn't been gorgeous, staying in the cottage during the day would have been tough.
