The Hygge lifestyle is all about getting away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about and we know our cottage will be all of this and more for your family! Located on beautiful Paradise Lake, the 2 bedroom 1 bath cottage features comfortable and clean linens, a fully stocked kitchen, high speed Internet, and much more.

Walk down to Harbor Lights Grill to enjoy breakfast or ice cream from their emporium. Enjoy dinner, drinks and pool at Clyde’s Bar which is a short walk down the street. The Carp Lake General Store is also a short walk away should you need any forgotten items.

If you are planning a day on famous Mackinac Island, the cottage is only 6 miles from Mackinaw City and the ferry boats. Enjoy the fireworks in Mackinaw City every Saturday evening throughout the summer. Additionally, head south for the day with a quick 30 minute drive to the busy towns of Petoskey and Harbor Springs. There you will finds loads of restaurants, shops, farmers markets and festivals throughout the summer season.

If you will be visiting us during the winter season, the cottage is just across from the snowmobile trail. Parking space is available to leave a trailer at the cottage and head for the trails. No need to find a place to park! If skiing is your preference, the cottage is 27 minutes from the slopes of Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob. Finish the evening by our cozy fireplace. Perfect during the Fall and Winter season.

We truly believe that you will make wonderful lasting memories at the Hygge Hideaway. Our goal is to see you book your next stay with us before you’ve even left!

Family vacay

The location was perfect! Only minutes away to the ferry to Mackinac Island. The house was on the lake and very beautiful. We had plenty of room to hang out and play some games as a family. The house was clean and comfortable. It was just right for our time there. The local restaurant was very good, too!

Cozy, Fun and Kid Approved!

We truly enjoyed our stay! The cabin was the perfect size for our group, and the kids absolutely loved spending time at the lake. We appreciated being within walking distance to a great restaurant and just a short drive to Mackinac and other attractions. The board games and cards were a fun touch for our evenings together. It was also so nice to have basic amenities provided—and the extra snacks were a thoughtful bonus. Highly recommend!

Cozy, thoughtful details, VIEW, convenient location

My mom and I came up from southeastern Michigan to explore up north and the UP. Very savvy and thoughtful details throughout the cabin. Even in winter, the view of the lake is spectacular. It was so easy to explore and we loved coming back to relax every evening. We can’t wait to come again.

Labor Day Getaway

We had a wonderful time! The property was clean, well taken care of and honestly an amazing layout! The property is about a 1 minute drive away from a nice restaurant and across the way is a well stocked grocery/party store. Also, only ten minutes away from down town mackinaw. Which is perfect to stay out of town but close enough to make a late night ice cream run!

Perfect Getaway

We loved our stay here! The furniture and beds were very comfortable. There are plenty of pillows for the beds. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The view outside the windows was beautiful. It was so relaxing to come back after sightseeing and sink into the couches or sit in the chairs outside and listen to the water.2 of the bedrooms are big enough for a pack n play if you are bringing them. The front room has shades that block out most of the morning sun for someone sleeping there. We would definitely be looking at getting this place again for our next visit.
