Spacious 6-bedroom cottage, 15 ft from lake and 200 yds from Douglas Lake Bar

Wake up to the water. The shoreline of Douglas Lake sits just 15 feet from your sliding glass door and paver patio — close enough to hear the waves from bed and have your coffee at the water's edge before anyone else is up.

This 6-bedroom, 3-bath setup (including the main cottage with 4-bedrooms, 2-baths, and finished garage/guest house with 2-bedrooms, 1-bath, kitchenette and living space) comfortably hosts large families, multi-family getaways, and group retreats without anyone feeling stacked on top of each other. The morning routine actually works — even with a full house. With a mix of king, queen, full, and twin beds (located in 2 bunk rooms), you’ll find plenty of space to relax. Comfort meets charm. Hickory flooring throughout; granite in the kitchen and all bathrooms; 75’ dock with plenty of space to tie up your boat(s); a nicely-sized yard for yard games (corn hole, bocce, etc.) and bonfires.

Whether gathering in the spacious living areas or unwinding with a game of ping pong after a day of adventure, this beautiful cottage welcomes you with open arms. A marvelous spot to create lasting memories, we hope you enjoy your stay.

Douglas Lake is one of northern Michigan's quiet gems: clear water, sandy shallows perfect for kids, and some of the best smallmouth bass and pike fishing in the region. Swim, paddle, fish, or cruise right from the property — no trailering, no boat launch lines, no wasted vacation hours. Evenings here are what Up North was made for: bonfires under a sky full of stars, sunsets over the water, and the kind of quiet you can't find downstate.
When you're ready to explore, you're a short drive from Cheboygan, Indian River, Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island ferries, and Petoskey's shops and restaurants all within an easy 20-25 minute drive. Come winter through fall, the area delivers — color tours, trails, golf, and everything the Tip of the Mitt has to offer.
