About this property

A beautiful log cabin home on Lake Huron, amazing lake views, hot tub, game room

We have a hidden jewel waiting for you in Cheboygan, the McIntosh Solitude Lodge. It is a beautiful rustic log cabin overlooking Lake Huron. It's about 10 minutes east of town and right on US Hwy 23. The winding 450 ft. driveway that takes you to the cabin through beautiful woods affords privacy and envelops you in Nature!
When you arrive, it looks like any other log cabin, but one look inside and you will be amazed at the solid-wood (knotty cedar) interior!
There are 4 bedrooms and 2 baths; 2200 sq ft of beautiful lodge style living space. There is a loft bedroom containing a queen bed and ensuite bath. Two bedrooms are on the main floor, one with a full bed and the second with twin bunk beds, perfect for the kids in your party. The lower level bedroom also has a full bed.
The main level incorporates a large living/dining area along with an open kitchen. The view of the lake is spectacular from here.
The family/game room is on the lower level, along with a laundry room. Sliding glass doors lead to the hot tub, fire pit , outdoor dining area, and stairway to the beach.
There are two beautiful porches on the cabin. The back porch looks out over an ever-changing panorama of one of the great views of the great lakes.
Who goes to the McIntosh Lodge? Families, couples looking for a private getaway, a small group of friends. It's an out-of-the-way intimate and romantic nest to spend some quality time. Many guests come back annually to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. The common thread of all our guests is a desire for privacy, time apart from the maddening pace of life and looking for a splendid way to recharge batteries. The cabin is about 400 feet from the water, and the sound of the waves at night will lull you to sleep very quickly. The trail down to the beach is a wonderful 1-minute nature walk, the beach stretches as far as you can see in either direction.
The lake is perfect for sunning, reading a book in a beach chair, rock collecting and hopping into the crystal-clear waters whenever you want!

Best wishes from us both,
Dale and Kirsten

Relaxing getaway

Spent the last week at this cabin, it is secluded, quiet, views are beautiful! Not too far away from things to do. If you like rock hunting this is a great place to go. The cabin was well stocked with everything we could have needed. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet, sitting on the back porch and watching the water and occasional ship passing by. Will definitely return in the future!

Family Trip

We had a wonderful time during our stay. We were looking for a place that would be not only relaxing, but had enough room for my husband and I, as well as our 4 teenagers and our dog. The cabin had all the amenities we needed and was clean and very comfortable. Dale was friendly and very responsive!We had a great time playing board games, roasting smores around the fire pit, and unwinding in the hot tub. We took a couple of day trips out and about, but spent a lot of time just relaxing and being together. Dale warned us that the path to the beach was going to be a little tricky due to the ice storm a few months back, but it was still manageable and worth it. My kids loved looking for cool rocks and we all enjoyed watching the sunset.

Northern Michigan family get away

We were looking for a quiet place to enjoy some picturesque views and family fun. The cabin delivered on all of our wishes. It was clean, quiet, spacious enough for the kids to get some privacy and loaded with necessities and thoughtful details like a game room and cooking supplies. We grilled every night, enjoyed the game room and hot tub. Hosts were available and communicated with us. Thank you.

Cozy northern Michigan retreat on Lake Huron

My family and I were looking for a getaway on one of the Great Lakes to recover from the hectic holiday season and this home checked off all of our boxes! Cozy and comfortable, Lake Huron views, and the game room and hot tub were just what we needed. The kitchen is very nicely stocked with pans and small appliances so meal prep is easy.We look forward to returning in the future!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend together at this well laid out and secluded cabin. Was also conveniently located near a few restaurants, gas stations and a Walmart in case we needed to run out and pick up something. The views of Lake Huron and wooded area around cabin was very nice.

Nestled deep in the woods our log cabin offers all the comforts of home, off the beaten path. stairs lead you down the hill to our private rock strewn beach. Wildlife is abundant as deer, red fox, loons, bald eagles, and swan, call the lake and woods home.
We are an easy drive to the ferry for Mackinaw Island & a short drive for groceries or a movie in Cheboygan.
