Cabins near Mackinaw City

Set on the shores between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, Mackinaw City is "The Gateway to the Upper Peninsula," which makes a Mackinaw City cabin vacation rental a great jumping-off point for your next UP adventure. Book a lakefront cabin near Wilderness State park for summertime hiking, beach time, and warm weather, or choose a winter chalet with a wood-burning fireplace and hot tub to wind down after a day of cross-country skiing. The Headlands International Dark Sky Park is even closer to Mackinaw City, so cabin campers can rest assured their Mackinaw cabin rental will be well-situated for staragzing. Gather around the firepit to search the star-studded skies for the northern lights and far-off galaxies. If you're after an island getaway, traverse the waters out to Mackinac Island, a car-free oasis with a state park that covers 80% of the land. Here, you'll find a few cottages for rent, most with space for large families, full kitchens, and multiple bathrooms.

Had the best time reconnecting with friends here and plan to come back next summer. The cabins were clean and the grass on the property was luscious and great for pitching our tent. Kind of close to neighbors but still private enough to not bother each other. We liked that it was close enough to a small trading post that had all the supplies and drinks we needed.
