Vacation rentals with lake access in Carp Lake

Outstanding UP accommodations! What a remarkable fall weekend we had with one other couple. A cozy, modern cottage with an incredible view. WE WILL BE BACK!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay here. Such a beautiful property! It was quiet and serene. The inside was spacious but comfortable, we felt right at home! Since it was a little chilly when we went, I was still able to enjoy the views of the lake from the couch with a cup of coffee. Brenda is a great host, very responsive, provided clear instructions, and ensured we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!

Spent the weekend here for my wife's birthday with some friends. Great location for winery tours/local food, and everything you would need inside and out. Roger is a very responsive host and willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay as welcoming as possible. Plenty of room inside the house for sleeping for 3 adult couples, could've even fit a 4th no problem in the loft. Home was spacious and the screened in porch is a great hangout spot overlooking the lake.

As a group of 8 we were worried about privacy and space. Once we arrived we were blown away at all the space, the amazing location and amenities. Kyle and Alena were beyond accommodating and helpful. We couldn’t have gotten through the weekend without them and or without the help of their friends and family. We felt like we had been coming to their place for years !! Any questions we had they answered right away and even gave us super helpful tips and advice for our stay ! We really appreciate you all, and cannot wait to return !! 16 out of 10 ;) If you are visiting rent the pontoon boat !! The area has so much to do and see and the price is a steal !

This is a fabulous property and great venue to share with family and friends. The accommodations were as stated and beautifully decorated. The sunrise views over the bay were spectacular and spending the day playing in the water was an added bonus. We celebrated my wife’s 60th and had a truly wonderful time. Although a little pricey I believe you get what you pay for. It was worth it! Tristan was a wonderful host and very responsive. 5 star in my book

Thank you Chris for sharing your home on Paradise Lake with us. It was the perfect spot to spend a few days after being on the road for weeks. Even better was the fact that our son and grandchildren came up from Ohio to visit. The home was so comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The close proximity to the ferry to Mackinac Island was helpful but the best part of the stay, truly heavenly, was sitting on the dock at sunset! So beautiful! Thank you!

Cliff's place was exactly perfect for a much-needed weekend of deep R&R for our family. The home was delightful, the deck perfect, the sound of the waves, the birds, the gentle purr of float boats, the breeze, the peace of beauty and a slow pace. We cannot thank you enough for a fabulous stay. We will definitely return. Loved every second!!!

We have a great stay, the house was very nice and clean!

It was absolutely beautiful. The trees had just changed colors and it was such a nice view! It was quiet and private. During business hours, you can hear the wine tasting room but that didn’t bother me at all. We stopped in and the staff were super friendly and helpful. So happy to have visited. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Bridget’s place enough! My family and I came up to st ignace for a UP get away weekend and this was the perfect way to spend time together in the evening while also having privacy. The location is walking distance to Sheplers which was so convenient for getting to Mackinac island. The space itself is roomy, clean and gives you a beautiful view of Lake Huron. Bridget is also a prompt, clear and thoughtful host. If we ever get the chance, we will absolutely be staying with Bridget again in the future!

this place was absolutely wonderful. i came here for my fall break with my partner, and it made an incredible trip. it is extremely cute, and feels very private despite being an upstairs apartment. there was something new to do every day, and the guidebook included at the apartment helped IMMENSELY. it’s nice and modern on the inside, but still has that “up north” cozy feel that makes you want to bundle up and drink a hot chocolate, lol. everything about this stay was easy and extremely navigable. i didn’t have to think about anything regarding the place, how to get places, what to do around town— and that’s why it was absolutely perfect. i didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING. it was awesome!! we were so sad to go when it was over, and wished we could have stayed for longer. we will absolutely be coming back :)

We loved being right in the heart of it all - walking distance to the beach, the marina, plus the many eateries in the downtown area. The space was clean and quaint and we were pleasantly surprised that there was a small sun porch we could sit in to drink our coffee and watch passersby. We were planning to eat out so it was no trouble for us that this studio was not equipped for any cooking. We did have a nice mini fridge with a freezer for drinks and snacks. As soon as we arrived in town we watched the sunset at the marina and saw the northern lights immediately afterward! Guess it just worked out that night. Stacy was excellent with communication both by phone call and text. The shower was nice and hot but be aware there is a curtain dividing the bathroom rather than an actual door. Would highly recommend WaterFire winery a short 10 minute drive away. We love all of the water views in the area and walking to everything so we would be pleased to stay here again.

This place was perfect! It was VERY clean, in addition to smelling wonderful. The furniture was clean/not worn and comfortable, beds comfortable and nice pillows (firm and soft - quality ones too). The bathroom and kitchen were both fully stocked. They thought of all the things you could need and we appreciated the extra supplies (garbage bags, dishwasher soap, paper towels, etc.) We even grilled steaks on the gas grill a sat on the back patio on a chilly fall night. The place was convenient to Suttons Bay and the surrounding towns. We ate at the local bar, had coffee at the coffee shop, and went to the winery (not our fav, but liked the atmosphere). Brooks was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. The remodeled apartment is one of the best! We will definitely be back and will book again.

Edmond’s place is actually even better than expected. It’s bigger in real time than the photos show. It is very comfortable and so quaint above the bakery. It was super quiet being above a bakery and across from the ferry. We heard no bothersome noise at all. The beds and linens are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, there is nice comfortable furniture, and we felt right at home. As others have said, the bakery coupon is an extra touch that is classy and honestly just fun! I would stay again and struggled to leave. Thank you for such a lovely home away from home. Do not hesitate to stay here. Very convenient location. BIG FAN!!

Our stay at Kathy’s place was perfect! The rental was spotless upon are arrival and Kathy was extremely flexible with check in and checkout. Her communication before and during our stay was outstanding and prompt. Kathy went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable during are stay. I would definitely recommend her place and happily rent from her again in the future.

Our first visit to the island was more than expected, very fun to find places like this still exist in this country. Relaxing and beautiful and a great adventure. Thanks Mary Beth and Mike for all the suggestions and great chats. This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The cottage was exactly what we expected, and more so. The view of the lake was just as spectacular in the morning as it was in the evenings!! Extremely comfortable, homey, and a great place to relax!! First time visiting Michigan, won't be the last. Thank you John & Melanie for providing such a wonderful place to stay!! Lynne & Bryan

This was our second time staying at little elk cottage - it’s a great location, comfortable space, and has views for days! We loved building a fire at sunset. We did have an issue upon checking in but Chelsea was extremely responsive and quick to fix the problem. We had a great time & we’ll visit again.

The mist clearing on the lake in the morning sun reveals the changing colors of trees in the Fall Season. At night, the constellations sparkle strongly and clearly in the dark sky. And the sounds of silence increase the sense of peace and wonder. This is what you can experience whether sitting around a lakeside fire or sitting in the front room of the cottage. And making a home cooked meal is a pleasure as well...the kitchen supports good cooking and the dining room table supports warm and interesting conversations. Thanks, Leanne

I’d give Julie’s place tens stars ⭐️ perfect place for two! Breath taking views of the lake, quiet. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to visit the Petoskey area. Julie was a great host! Thank you!

We loved Charlys’s place! It was a charming home and very accommodating for pets. We would definitely stay here again!

Awesomely Fantastic! Trillion Stars ⭐️ Thank you 🙏

Great, quite location. Well equipped and clean. Our dog loved the big yard to run while we relaxed on the nice deck. It's very dark at night, take a big basket for all the stars. Loved it, thanks Michelle

Amazing place and stay! Highly recommend
