Family-Friendly Lakefront Getaway on Paradise Lake

Paradise Lake Escape is a private, lakefront retreat thoughtfully designed for families and multigenerational groups. The main cottage and detached bunkhouse comfortably sleep up to 8 guests, offering space to be together while still allowing room to spread out.

Families will love the sandy, shallow swimming area, stairs leading safely down to the lake and seasonal dock, and evenings spent around the fire pit. The separate bunkhouse provides an ideal setup for kids, teens, or grandparents, complete with its own living space with beverage fridge.

Parents will appreciate modern comforts including gig-speed internet, washer and dryer, multiple living areas, and a quiet, low-traffic setting. The property also features a Level 2 (50 amp) EV charger that can accommodate electric vehicles or RV hookups, making travel easy and convenient.

For peace of mind, the property is equipped with two exterior security cameras located at the front and back of the home (exterior only). Located near biking trails and just a short drive to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac Island. Paradise Lake Escape is the perfect home base for creating lasting family memories.
