Welcome to Lem's Paradise #1 — a lakefront retreat on a 5-acre Lake Huron compound with 300+ feet of shared shoreline, fire pit, picnic area, and Mackinac Island and Bridge views. Enjoy the shared covered porch, outdoor dining, and cozy indoor spaces filled with natural light. Just 5 minutes from Mackinaw City and ferry access, with scenic trails right across the street. Mornings open with sunrise over the water; nights end with the Bridge lit across the straits.
Guests enjoy full privacy inside the home. Communication, check-in, and support are handled by Haze Retreats. The owner lives nearby on the property and is available if assistance is needed or for local recommendations.
Just outside Mackinaw City, this home offers peace and sweeping Lake Huron views while being minutes from the action. Watch ferries pass by, enjoy the North Central trail right across the road, and explore nearby beaches, parks, and attractions with ease.
Guests enjoy proximity to Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island ferries, lakeside parks, and seasonal attractions, while returning to a peaceful lakeside setting at the end of the day. This area is best suited for guests who value outdoor time, lake access, and a slower pace.
Guests have private access to the home. Outdoor amenities including the beach frontage, fire pit, picnic tables, covered porch, and grill are shared with others on the property. Self check-in via smart lock, available 24/7 — access details are provided prior to arrival. Certain owner areas and storage spaces are restricted and clearly marked.
From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by wide lake views, soft natural light, and the calming quiet of Northern Michigan. The open-concept layout invites connection — with a cozy living room for late-night chats, a fully stocked kitchen for cooking together, and big windows that make the water feel like part of the decor.
Outside, a shared covered porch looks out over the water. Grill dinner with Mackinac Island in view, sip wine as the sky turns pink, or gather around the fire pit as ferries pass under the Bridge. The home sits on a spacious stretch of lawn that leads directly to the shoreline — quiet, unhurried, and made for slow mornings and long evenings.
Lem's Paradise #1 and #2 sit side by side in the same building, each with its own private entrance — book both and the whole structure is yours.
Nights here end the same way — fire low, water still, Bridge lights on the horizon.
A vehicle is recommended. Mackinaw City, ferry docks, restaurants, and local attractions are a short drive away. There is no public transit within walking distance. Nearest airports: Pellston Regional (PLN) ~25 min, Traverse City (TVC) ~1.5 hrs.
Lem's Paradise #1 is one of four units on a spacious five-acre lakeside property on Lake Huron. It shares a building with Lem's Paradise #2 — each side has its own private entrance, kitchen and bathroom, and the two work well booked together for one group. The outdoor amenities, including the beach frontage, firepit area and picnic tables, are shared across the property.
The setting is quiet, nature-focused, and best suited for guests who appreciate peace, wildlife, and a slower pace. Occasional wildlife sightings (e.g., deer, birds) are common.
Safety features include a smoke detector, a fire extinguisher, and a first-aid kit for peace of mind during your stay.
