Cedar Lodge Vacation 2023

This is our 2nd year at this property and we can't wait to go back. It's definitely a 5-star home that has everything you need. I always pack a "lake tub" with what I think are must haves. It stayed in the van; everything was there and then some. The property is truly amazing and keeps everyone entertained on sunny and rainy days. The area is perfect for day trips (not that you really want to leave) but Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes are nearby as are tasting rooms and good restaurants. Brian and Julie are terrific hosts and stay in touch before and after your stay!

5-Star all the way

Super clean house, ample yard for our dogs, great clear water with perfect depth for swimming and playing on the supplied boards/kayaks. Nice kitchen, fully furnished better than I have ever seen with quality equipment/utensils. No air conditioning was a concern, but the lake breeze was great for even the 80's we had. Great to disconnect from the world for a week.... great hosts, very nice thanks!!!

Comfortable, charming cottage

Great overall experience. Cedar Lodge is very clean & well maintained, well equipped, both inside & outside with games, boats, kayaks, etc. The location is excellent. The expansive property is directly on the water & the views are beautiful. The congenial host is responsive.

Why they chose this property

The house sits on about 1.25 acres, and is situated a few yards from the water. We have lots of open space, with room to run around and set up fun activities such as frisbee, cornhole toss, or whatever other outdoor activity you can imagine.

Since we are located on the tip of a point, we have extensive shoreline with multiple water access points through a beautiful treeline.

Guests can use our kayaks, pedal boat, canoe, SUP or jon boat (approved life jackets are provided).

We have preserved a wooded cedar tree area in the center of the property, which provides shade and beauty.

What makes this property unique

You can stay in one spot or explore all that is offered in northwest Michigan.

Several nearby companies offer pontoon boat rentals. Contact us for recommendations.
