About this property

Three bedroom chalet on Sixteen Mile Lake

The Buck Rack Chalet is nestled in the Hiawatha National Forest with 100 ft. of waterfront property on Sixteen Mile Lake. This three bedroom chalet is the perfect destination for a family or group of friends to gather for relaxation and fun.
In the summer months, enjoy fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and swimming in the lake. Take a short 15 -30 minute trip to the Pictured Rocks, a glass bottom shipwreck tour on Lake Superior, the beaches of Lake Superior, or bike around Grand Island.
During the winter, there is no better place to stay to enjoy the hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails the area has to offer. Our cabin sits right in the center of the lake effect snowbelt in the Upper Pennisula.
Munising is 12 miles from the chalet where you will find a large grocery store, restaurants, gas stations, gift shops, churches, and bars. There is also a really nice Visitor's Center there with lots of information about the area. Make your reservation today!

Cabin was perfect for a week long stay with 6 adults and one dog. Perfectly stocked, extremely clean and very dog friendly. View from the house was relaxing, and use of kayaks was a huge plus. Great location to get to numerous area highlights! Communication with Amy was easy, and received quick responses to questions that we had. Overall, a fantastic stay!

We enjoyed our stay, the location was so quiet and made relaxing by the lake amazing. We took advantage of the kayaks and explored the lake. We were within a half hour to an hour of several waterfalls and other natural wonders. We enjoyed Wagler, Chapel and Mosquito Falls one day, the next day we explored Big Springs and our last day we explored the Picture Rocks area including Miners Castle and Falls. What an amazing gem you have!

The property was beautiful. The house was very clean. Our grandchildren had an awesome time. The only think they wanted was to fish. A fishing pole or two would have been extra great! But we loved our stay! Thank you

My family and I stayed to celebrate a Birthday and travel around the UP for a week. The house was perfect, well set up and dog/kid friendly. We really enjoyed having coffee on the dock in the morning and stargazing at night (when it wasnt cloudy). It was so nice to hear nature and feel the calm of the woods. Buckhorn Resort Tavern was great for a family meal out and Carberry's Wood Fired Pizza was worth it!! (They are cash only) The shipwreck tour was also surprisingly great!!Overall we had a great time and the house was a perfect base camp for the week. We miss it already!!

Peaceful Getaway

This property was perfect for our family! The house is beautiful with all the furnishings and amenities we needed. The view was amazing and conveniently located near Munising for fun day adventures, but provided the perfect relaxing haven to come back to after a day of adventuring. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful Cabin!

Our family of 6 absolutely loved our stay here! The house looks newly updated and it was fantastic. Perfectly clean. We loved being on the lake, loved using the kayak and canoe, loved renting the pontoon from the neighbors for a day, loved all the things to do in the area. We would definitely go back!

Amazing lake house!!!

We stayed here during Memorial Day weekend and it exceeded our expectations. The property is secluded and the lake was beautiful. The house was updated and had everything we needed for our two families with kids. The owner was very gracious with our check-in and responded very quickly to inquiries. I would highly recommended this house and we will definitely be back!

Buck Rack Cabin

The cabin is beautiful and well furnished. The view of the lake is spectacular. The cabin owner, Amy Buck, was very helpful with any questions we had. This is our second time at the cabin. Once in the summer for ATV's and this time was riding sleds. Awesome place.

charming Cabin

The cabin was as charming as the pictures made it to be. It was very well stocked and extremely clean. The only issue was that the fireplace doesn't work. had the fireplace worked, it would have been a five-star experience.

Cozy and inviting

We traveled from WI for a wedding nearby. 6 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs stayed here very comfortably. We ran on the gravel roads, kayaked, and enjoyed the beautiful deck and reading nook upstairs. Cabin had everything we needed! Only downside was the mosquitos! If you rent this early summer, bring bug spray for evenings and mornings!!

WOW!

We had a fabulous experience from start to finish with this property and owner. The home was in beautiful working order with little things that aren't normally expected - access to more than 1 towel per person, 5 kayaks, a canoe, a coffee maker that does pots and K-cups. The location was quiet and scenic. The firepit was great and there were plenty of chairs to gather our group. Some of us old ladies paddled the painted rocks and it was amazing. We took the shipwreck tour, shopped in downtown Munising and explored the waterfalls and beaches. We didn't get to everything on our 4-day stay. I hope to return soon with my husband to explore more!!

Very nice lake house

Location is secluded, but easy to find. Like listing says, no service, but great WiFi connection if needed. Check in was super easy, loved that the house was open and keys were left on the table. House was very nice, furniture was comfortable, appliances were new, and everything we needed for our stay was provided (pans, spices, grill). We did see a few ants, but as the owner mentioned they are actively trying to remediate this issue. Owner was very responsive to our messages while staying. Canoe and kayak were ready to go. Life vests were in the basement. The lake was huge and we enjoyed exploring out on the water. Pictured rocks was a short drive away there are also ample trails near by. The trails right off the house are not kept so don’t recommend. We will definitely plan on revisiting this property next summer and highly recommend.
