About this property

Port Sanilac Log Cabin--Incredibly Cute!

Warm, cozy, and charming 2 bedroom (plus loft), 1 bath genuine 100+ year old authentic log cabin! Sleeps 6 in beds and 2 more on a queen sofa pull-out couch.

Unplug and enjoy getting away! Just a short 3 minute walk to the fantastic Lake Huron beach. Situated off the beaten path, on a gravel road surrounded by pine trees with a grassy side yard for outdoor play. Just located 1 ½ hour drive from metro Detroit in the beautiful “Thumb”, this is the up north escape you've been looking for, minus the 4+ hour drive up I-75. Here’s your chance to unplug and enjoy. This log cabin, a throwback to simpler times but with some creature comforts, will allow you to unplug from cable and WiFi and enjoy the simpler things a vacation has to offer. No, there is no WiFi or cable TV at the cabin! Lake Huron, games, puzzles, books, toys, and much more are there to help you relax and reconnect with your family.

Situated just a short walk (5 driveways) on a gravel road to the incredible Lake Huron "Gold Coast" sandy beach and park. Walk into the front door of this 800 square foot cabin from the 9x21 foot front deck and you'll instantly feel relaxed and content with its hardwood floors, knotty pine walls, log beam ceilings and charming atmosphere. The 12 x 14 living room features 2 couches (one is a queen-sized sleeper sofa), a ceiling fan. This is an authentic log cabin and as such, there is no central heating or central air conditioning. There is a gas log fireplace that keeps this cabin warm and cozy on chilly nights; and 2 ceiling fans, several tower fans, and a window air conditioner to keep you cool in the summer.

The well-appointed kitchen features an electric cooktop, sink, beautiful custom wood cabinets, fully stocked with pots/pans, flatware, dishes, glasses; small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and toaster, waffle iron, crockpot, skillet, toaster oven, hand mixer, and blender. The dinette is surrounded by windows overlooking the beautiful pine trees. There are 2 bedrooms and a sleeping loft, with blankets, sheets and pillows. The main bedroom has a queen-sized bed with two night stands and a supplemental heater, just in case; the second bedroom has 2 bunk beds. The loft is accessible by a wooden ladder and has a queen-sized mattress. Because of the low head room and the ladder access, this area is perfect for adventurous kids. The sofa in the living room pulls out to a queen-sized bed. The bathroom (toilet and sink) is separate from the shower/dressing room and storage.

The log shed on the property stores stack chairs, 2 bicycles and a tandem bike (and a hand air pump in case the tires need air) , beach toys, and a wagon for your convenience to take toys to the beach, plus additional storage. A 6 x 10 deck is on the north side of the cabin, ideal for reading a book and hearing the whispering of the wind in the pine trees and waves of the mighty Lake Huron. Other amenities: 5 minute walk to Willis Market (grocery store); Port Sanilac shopping, marina, and restaurants are a short distance away; city water, ceiling fans in the living area and bedroom. There is an outdoor shower off the back porch to rinse the sand off after a day of playing at the beach or outside. The living room features a flat screen TV with Blu-ray DVD player, the main bedroom has a flat screen as well. Please note: there is no cable/satellite TV, internet/WiFi at the cabin. Cellular coverage will vary by provider.

The log cabin is an ideal get away for a couple or a family for a long weekend or a longer vacation.

***We wish you a fantastic time "unplugged" and enjoying all that the Thumb area and Lake Huron has to offer. Please be advised that for the 2025 season, we will be continuing to take additional precautions and cleaning protocols to make every effort to provide a safe environment for you and your family.*** We work very hard to keep our log cabin nice. Please respect our property and treat it as if it is your own.

We would come again because of the location and cleanliness. Lake Huron is beautiful. The cabin was perfect. Floors are slippy when wet, bathroom especially- be careful. We loved it and will book again.

Beautiful Rustic Cabin

This was just the kind of place we were looking for. The cabin is cozy, clean, and has everything you need for a “rustic” stay. Plenty to see and do in town and up and down the coast too.

Perfect little cabin by the beach

Thus log cabin had all the charm of a 100+ year old cottage, and so close to the softest sand in Port Sanilac. The cabin had everything we needed and is in a great location. The kids said that they want to stay here again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Fellberg and Nicolette Kowal

Host profile image
Your hosts have been weekending and vacationing in the Thumb area for many years and currently own a home several miles north of the cabin.

Why they chose this property

The "sunrise coast" of Michigan has that "up north" feel and is far enough away from the metro Detroit area without the long drive and traffic of most "up north" Michigan destinations. Walk the sandy beach looking for petoskey stones and beach glass, skip stones, paddle, and swim in the blue water or go fishing. Shopping, golf, museums, farmers market, theatre, restaurants, wineries and area attractions are near by.

What makes this property unique

This genuine 100 year log cabin is well maintained and has the amenities so you can relax in comfort and enjoy the lake breezes whispering through the mature pine trees on the property. It is warm and welcoming from the moment you pull up and enter the cabin. And it's incredibly cute!!
