The Cottage Up North - Ski, Snowmobile, Shop, Dine
ABOUT THE RENTAL The Cottage Up North offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Nestled in a wooded setting off the beaten path—yet just minutes from Northern Michigan’s best activities—this getaway invites you to slow down, relax, and make lasting memories.
Step inside and you’ll be greeted by warm rustic beams, a charming center staircase with an open loft, and modern furnishings that create a welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen’s wraparound counter is perfect for spreading out snacks and drinks while gathering for games or puzzles. The main level also includes a queen bedroom with TV, a playful bunk area for kids, and a full bath with a tub/shower and custom wood vanity. A convenient mudroom with laundry makes it easy to drop gear after a day of adventure. While the home does not include air conditioning, box fans and screened windows let in refreshing breezes to keep the space cool and comfortable during warmer months.
Upstairs, the loft offers a cozy reading nook, along with two more bedrooms (one queen, one full) and a second full bath featuring a walk-in tiled shower.
Outdoor living is just as inviting—grill dinner on the deck, dine at the outdoor table, and unwind in Adirondack-style chairs with a drink in hand. As the sun sets, gather around the spacious firepit to share stories under the stars before starting fresh the next day.
Whether you’re seeking a family escape, a romantic retreat, or a base for Northern Michigan adventures, The Cottage Up North is the perfect place to call home.

Short Stay
My husband and I brought our children and grandmother to Michigan for family vacation. The cottage was a perfect fit for our needs and it was in a great location for exploring the northern half of the lower part of the state.

Nice place!
This was a great house for a bachelorette party! Nice yard for a fire and games, plenty of beds, and a good location that was a reasonable distance from lots of great places (Charlevoix, downtown Petoskey, Walloon Lake).

A hidden gem
Plenty of comfy beds and clean sheets. Nice bathrooms with amenities. Kitchen is clean.
Allow me to List few negative things:
The microwave was set up above the fridge.
We are not the tallest people and it’s unsafe!
The stairs is conducive to falls.
Plenty of bugs
Last weekend was very humid the thermostat didn’t work for cold air.
Thank you for providing desks fans it somewhat helped.
Two nights we stayed the neighbors were loud. Dogs were barking.
The trash bin was overflowing.
But other than that the location is close to Petoskey and Mackinac Island. Almost a perfect weekend getaway.
Thank you!
