LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION....Only 30 minutes from the Mackinac Bridge, the Merry Mullett Lake House is an old school, rustic family cottage. It's not fancy. It's not luxury. The summer price is based on its location and the deep, premier all-sports lake a part of northeast Michigan's Inland Waterway. At this old-school cottage, you will have access to a 60 foot private dock just outside your back door.
Inside, Merry Mullett has slanted floors, which some claim feel like the Mystery Spot. It is not ideal for people with vertigo or any balance concerns. It is NOT handicap accessible.
What do we mean by old school? The kitchen appliances all work, yet they are classic, or more often referred to as dated. The toilet in the main bathroom sits on a wood slab. The screens are stapled into the windows or taped. The mattresses feel like a step up from camping. You are coming to the Merry Mullett Lake House for the view, the gorgeous outside deck sitting on the water and being just feet from Mullett Lake.
Located on popular Mullett Lake, this home sleeps 6, having 3 bedrooms and 1 ½ bathrooms. With picnic table, 2 deck areas, lawn chairs, and a gorgeous view, guests will enjoy their time relaxing and resting after a long day of fishing, boating, and swimming. The propane grill on the property will also speed dinner along, while the dogs and kids play in an open area. A private 60 ft. dock also accompanies the property, PLEASE DO NOT MOOR YOUR BOAT ON THE DOCK, THERE ARE BUOYS PLACED BY THE DOCK TO TIE OFF YOUR BOAT. However, the dock can be used for short periods of time, going to the bathroom, stopping to pick up lunch, to fish, etc...
Rails to Trails (take a look) is within steps of the property; feel free to bring your bikes or walk the trails! This cabin is right off M-27, and while the majority of guests don't hear the traffic, we want to be sure you are aware that the state highway is nearby. Cheboygan, just 8 miles away, is a quaint city, with many historic sites. Golfers will enjoy the courses just a few miles from the property, and hunters will appreciate the populated gaming areas nearby.
