Mackinac Cabin - Les Cheneaux Landing

Welcome to Mackinac Cabin

Mackinac Cabin offers a cozy and comfortable retreat in the heart of Michigan’s eastern Upper Peninsula. One of eleven charming cabins at Les Cheneaux Landing Resort, it is located just off M-134, a designated Michigan Scenic Byway, just 35 miles northeast of the Mackinac Bridge.

Nestled between the picturesque towns of Cedarville and Hessel, this two-bedroom cabin features a queen bed in one room, a full-size bed in the other, and a futon in the living room for additional sleeping space.

The spacious, open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area provides plenty of room to relax, while recent 2023 updates—including vinyl flooring, modern kitchen cabinets, countertops, a new electric range, and refreshed bedroom furnishings—enhance its charm. The cabin’s pine wood-paneled walls create a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect place to unwind.

A picnic table and charcoal grill invite outdoor dining, and while the cabin does not have a direct lake view, it’s just a short stroll to 250 feet of beautiful waterfront, featuring a sandy swimming beach and docks on Snows Channel—perfect for boating, fishing, and kayaking.

The resort offers a sandy, swimming beach area, featuring a floating swim mat for endless water fun, as well as volleyball and basketball courts, a swing set and horseshoe pits. In the evening guests can enjoy a peaceful stroll to the docks that extend out into the channel to watch the beautiful sunsets.

Let Mackinac Cabin be your retreat for peaceful moments, outdoor fun, and unforgettable experiences in the Les Cheneaux Islands.
