Loved every moment at this magical place

We had a wonderful stay in this adorable cabin. Quiet, peaceful and clean, with a comfy bed and furnishings. Our lovely hosts surprised us with delicious local treats and we cooked several meals in the kitchen. Kayaked the lake almost daily and spotted 2 eagles and all sorts of wildlife. Close to Munising but away from it all. We hope to return next year!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The view of the lake is beautiful, and there is a paddleboat, canoe and kayaks available to use. It's only a15 minute drive to Munising. The sauna and outdoor fire pit were added bonuses.

Wonderful Cabin on the Lake

This is just a perfect cabin for us. It's both rustic and modernized in all the right ways. The lake view is incredible. For a Finnish Canadian like myself, the sauna and canoe are really big pluses. We had a wonderfully relaxing stay.

Even better in person!

We had a lovely stay at the cabin for 3 nights. The lake was stunning and we definitely had a wow factor when we arrived, with the view straight out onto the lake. The cabin had everything we needed to feel at home, including useful local recommendations.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Dickenshied

Host profile image
My husband and I also live on the lake and enjoy the beauty this peaceful area has to offer. I was born and raised in Au Train Michigan and grew up on Northwoods Resort, so have a rental came naturally to me. My husband and I met here on 16 Mile Lake as his parents own a home here as well. We enjoy the outdoors and all that the upper peninsula has to offer. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Air conditioning! Kayak right from your shore, enjoy a fire and sunset at night, or coffee in the morning out front. Relax and take in the beauty of this gorgeous area, and stay connected to the outside world with free WiFi.
