About this property

Water lovers Dream-Newly renovated! Gorgeous modern updates with a rustic flare!

Enjoy this newly updated cabin with a gorgeous new kitchen that keeps some flare of rustic with modern amenities. This adorable cabin, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath is just 6 miles from Lake Linden and 1.2 miles from Dreamland Restaurant and Bar.

Enjoy 60 ft of lake front with a private dock with a large sitting area for your personal enjoyment whether for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing or the gorgeous sunsets-the water fun is endless!!

Just off Chipmunk Trail for quick access to trails for walking and biking.

If you want a boat, just let us know and we can have a small 14ft boat with motor available for rent for 20.00 per 24hrs-includes one tank of gas for each 24hrs. (All operators will need a tutorial and must be over 21 to use. Anyone under 21 must be accompanied by an adult.) Can even supply some tackle and rods, just let us know. You can always bring your own boat or jet skis if you wish and launch in Lake Linden and keep at the 74ft dock which can accommodate up to approx 18ft boat since water is fairly shallow.

There is a 16ft Grumman canoe/paddles available, with four adult life jackets, as well as two sea kayaks and a paddle board for your enjoyment free of charge-use at your own risk. 30 AMP RV service is also available at 25.00 a day if you have visitors needing to stay that have their own rig.

Immaculately Clean Magical Camp on the Water.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this small cabin. The owner pays attention to every detail to make a clean and comfortable stay. It has the feel of a magical hobbit hole with dainty windows and cozy furniture. All necessities were provided.

Amazing cozy cabin on a lake

I highly recommend staying at this cabin! It's clean and a very nice spot just to relax by the lake awesome sunset views and star gazing from the chairs they have setup on the dock! My kids had a blast swimming every day and the hosts Tom and Kierstin are the best very friendly people and they made sure we had everything we needed and they even did some extra stuff for us that they didn't have too. Thank you both for the best vacation my family and I have had in years!

Lovely space

We loved the mix of old and new in this property. We didn’t get to enjoy the relaxation since we used it as a home base for our wedding down the road, but we would definitely come back because it had everything we would need!

Great getaway

We enjoyed the cabin as a great home base while visiting family in the area. We had both extremes of hot and cold for temperatures during our week there, which left us grateful for the heaters, but wishing there was a second window AC unit in the master bedroom (with the only unit in the second bedroom). We otherwise found it very relaxing and thoroughly enjoyed the sunsets!

Relaxing time away

Kierstin and Tom had doors open upon our arrival. Due to previous rainy days we used their driveway, their house is just next door.The kitchen had recently been remodeled and it was very nice and had just about everything you would need. Some of the fry pans could be replaced but was very excited about the great coffee pot they had.The bathroom is on the small side but it worked; with exception of the door knob falling off. We all had a good laugh about that. I would recommend putting up a toilet paper holder or floor standing one somewhere for better accessibility.The decor was so nice and everything was clean. We may have been an exception of normal guests as my husband is handicapped so I look for different safety aspects than others. My greatest concern is the front steps going into cabin, but we managed that too. The railing is on the opposite side that the door opens from so it didn’t provide much safety or assistance for anyone coming into cabin. Again, it all worked out.We had a comfortable stay and enjoyed our conversations with both of them. We saw wonderful wildlife as we sat on the back porch. We hopefully will make a return visit next year.

Beautiful lake front cabin

Clean, cozy, welcoming cabin on calm lake front with canoe and kayaks. Kierstin and Tom made us feel welcome and the cabin is equipped with all the comforts of home. The lake is beautiful and the cabin has several spots to sit and enjoy the views and the breeze off the lake. We took the kayaks out, and we sat with our dogs watching the sunsets. A fire pit is available though it was warm so we didn't use it. Cabin is short drive to state parks, hikes and waterfalls, as well as nearby towns for restaurants and markets. Kitchen is really well stocked with everything needed to cook and prepare meals. Definitely would recommend, and keep an eye out for Bald eagles hanging out in the pines on the lake.

We enjoyed our stay at this cute cabin while taking in the beautiful autumn colors. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, but also respectful of privacy.The overall feeling was cozy and warm and the kitchen was stocked with all the basics. The water frontage was perfect for sunsets and watching wildlife. The village of Lake Linden is quaint and you are near many other places of interest in the Keewanau area.We would definitely recommend this property for a home base while traveling.Thank you, Kierstin and Tom

Cabin was delightful. It was super clean, outfitted with absolutely everything needed for our stay. We cooked all of our meals in the kitchen. Slept soundly in the comfy bed. Kiersten was a good friendly neighbor but not nosy or “too close.” We had use of a motor boat, kayaks & fishing gear. She & husband, Tom have updated the rustic log cabin into something very special. Decorated cozy & “Up North.” She went so far as to offer us another nights’ lodging when our plans for the next stay evaporated… Gratitude! Brava! Thank you!!

Everything about our stay was wonderful! We loved getting to know Kierstin and Tom - they were so friendly, informational, and helpful with tons of tips around the area. The surrounding area is stunning and relaxing. Sitting on the dock in the early morning and watching the sunset in the evening!! The home is sweet and cozy. Highly recommend!! Should we ever return to the Keweenaw Peninsula, we would absolutely stay here again. 10/10!

The cabin was cozy, cute and everything we needed. We saw waterfalls, hiked,Delaware mine, good food. Thimbleberry margaritas in Calumet and just plain relaxing. We didn't take advantage of the lake but it was nice to look at.

Great property for dog owner

My dad and I stayed for 3 nights while visiting my son at Michigan Tech. It was a lovely, quiet area. The cabin was clean and I loved the old with new look. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom is very small but clean. The property was amazing to exercise my 1.5 yo chocolate lab. She was able to chase a ball up and down the lane and in the lake. We enjoyed our stay very much. One thing, bring soap. Otherwise, very well stocked.

About the host

Hosted by Kierstin and Tom Waara

Host profile image
Tom was born here, left for college and returned in 1995 with his wife, Kierstin, who was born and raised in Alaska. They each have their own businesses in the area along with the cabin rental.

What makes this property unique

We accept dogs. Plenty of room. Just ask they do biz on the road side, not the water/grassy side as it kills grass and always picked up after. Always keep them leashed or tethered as other dogs are in the area. Trees available for runners.
