About This Home

As of July 2025

Just south of Mackinaw City, along the peaceful shores of Lake Paradise, you’ll find a log home set up for days on the water and nights around the fire. This property includes a year-round main home plus two additional seasonal log cabins—ideal for hosting friends and family, or keeping one for yourself and offering the others as short-term rentals. Would-be investors will love the rental income and positive cash flow on this charming three home set-up. You or your guests will wake up to lake views, make coffee in the open kitchen with stainless appliances, then head out for a swim, paddle, or a lazy morning fishing for perch or walleye right off the boat. In the evenings, cruise across the lake for dinner at the local dockside spot, then settle in under some of the clearest skies you’ll find—no need to head to a Dark Sky Park when the stars show off right from your shoreline. The main home is all seasons and features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half bath, a classic split-stone fireplace, and that easy up-north layout that brings everyone together. A brand new Miele washer and dryer add a touch of luxury and convenience for extended stays or guest turnover. Beyond the shoreline, the location offers even more to explore: a quiet nature preserve sits just behind the township park, complete with walking trails and a swing set. It’s a peaceful setting where you might spot bald eagles soaring overhead and hear loons calling across the water. All three cabins are fully furnished and ready for your next chapter—whether it’s lake days, summer vacation rental hosting, or a peaceful escape that pays for itself.
