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.
