About this property

Waterfront Cedar Cabin Complete with Sauna

Our cabin is 20 years old. It was built by the original owner who was a carpenter and the owner of a mill. His attention to detail and craftsmanship are over the top. If you appreciate woodwork you’ll love our cabin. Fishing on the lake offers pike, walleye, perch and bass to name a few. A couple of years ago someone caught a 47” inch pike (at least this is what I’m told.)

This property was very nice, plenty of room for our entire family. The river was so peaceful and beautiful and we absolutely loved the wood sauna by the river. Only regret was we couldn’t stay longer.

Great Stay-Relaxing

The cabin was very clean and easy to find. The small beach area was perfect for our kids to fish from. Close and convenient to everything we wanted to see. Will stay again if ever back in the area

Amazingly Relaxing

We got away for a long weekend. It was so peaceful! The sauna was so very relaxing! Sat on the bench and watched the snow fall to cool down. Couldn't have asked for more. Thoughtful host had all the "little" things on hand that made things so much easier. Would love to return someday.

Indoor cleanliness was ok, had to unclog the bathroom sink as it wouldn't drain. Shower door bottom had a fair amount of mold. Removed hair from the kitchen sink drain that was under the basket strainer. Cleaned the picture windows and sliding glass door that were dirty inside and out. Outside had to clean the deck and stairs down to the lake. Replaced half the string lights that were burned out. A few solar lights were out or missing on the stairs making a nightime walk a bit touchy. I really didn't think I would have to do so much work cleaning up even though we received a little off the cost for a last minute reservation. Ok, done complaining. The overall place and property is beautiful. Took a kayak out around the island that was enjoyable. First night saw the northern lights, that was great. Haven't seen them in over 50 years. Didn't try the sauna but it looks good down by the lake. Complete quiet at night, not even a sound from bugs. Very relaxing with food and things to do close by. Would definitely recommend.

UP Cabin

A wonderful Cabin. We kayaked the river and enjoyed the stars at night. It was too hot for the sauna since we got mid 80's weather in early October, but the sauna is always a nice option. Many hiking and eating options are close to the cabin, so it's really a nice base depending on whether you want to explore the eastern part of the UP or the western part of the UP. Super clean cabin with all of the essentials.

Upon arrival and walking into the cabin, there was an instant mildew, wet smell There was dust and cobwebs throughout the entire place. The paint is coming off of the walls and it’s wet down in the basement causing the mildew smell throughout the cabin. Freezer was not cleaned out properly. Ice Mountain wasn’t able to use the freezer correctly. Upon arrival. There was a broken showerhead in the sauna area that we replaced out of the kindness of our own doings. Never even received a thank you for replacing something that we did not break. The bathroom window in the cabin does not have any privacy, especially at night time when the lights are on. You have a neighbors front porch in view of bathroom window no privacy. Nowhere does it state in the rental check-in checkout rules that there will be a stranger entering upon the premises You have to pay in full before you receive the check-in and check out rules, which does not give us an option to see these rules beforehand to let people determine if they want to stay at these rentals or not owning a cabin with a sauna and a fire pit for campfires and nowhere before hand does it state that you have to pay extra to use wood to be provided for these services after paying what you pay to stay a night there . I reached out to the owner let him know my concerns and the issues that we had with the place. He did not once apologize for the mildew issue which my child being highly allergic to mildew. She could not stay at the cabin .

Spacious cabin on the lake

The cabin is far larger than the photos make it look, we had 7 adults with plenty of space. It was well furnished and in a gorgeous remote setting. The weather was rainy and cold during our stay so we didn’t get to enjoy the sauna or a bonfire but the amenities looked like they would have been amazing to use! The only downfall is that there’s only one bathroom but even with 7 people we never ran out of hot water in the shower. Beds were cozy, cabin was clean and smelled great, there were plenty of things to do and the host was super easy to work with!! Definitely would stay here again if in the area! Were in the UP for NMU graduation and it was only 15minutes from the school, perfect, quiet, peaceful, beautiful, homey location. Highly recommended!!!

No complaints at all, Ed was a very communicative and accommodating host. The cabin is stocked like you wouldn't believe, especially the kitchen. Everything is high-quality. If I were investing in improvements, I'd put in a smart thermostat.

Absolutely Lovely Stay in the Great Up North

My husband and I were missing the UP after moving so to revisit, see some old friends, and enjoy the great outdoors with some paddleboarding and kayaking was much needed. The Ed was courteous and the cabin was incredible. A++++

About the host

Hosted by Ed Amaya

Host profile image
I own a film production company that specializes in commercials in Chicago. I’ve produced independent movies as well. I’m married to a school teacher and we have two kids. When I’m not driving kids around I coach my son’s soccer team in the fall, always a good time.

Why they chose this property

We live in Chicago and my wife is from the area. We wanted a place of our own to stay when we visited family and friends because we had children who were 4 and 2 at that time. We figured that the cabin would help us build memories to cherish as we all got older. In fact during our last visit my wife and I overheard our kids talking to each other about memories of the first pig roast we had at the cabin. That really brought a smile to our faces. Beyond this we loved the location. While it’s nestled in the woods on a lake we are close to relatives, shopping and more importantly a Starbucks. If you go in the opposite direction you go deeper into the woods where you can find fishing streams and waterfalls. All the properties on the lake have an acre of land so you have separation from the neighbors. It’s a very quiet getaway.

What makes this property unique

From the minute you step out of your car you smell the clean air of the U.P., a distinctly woodsy smell. Rarely do you see planes flying overhead. Once inside the cabin you’ll marvel at the view of the lake. As I always say, “the view alone is worth the price of admission.” With each passing day you’re able to sleep in a little longer because the area is so peaceful. There is even a nesting pair of eagles that live on the basin.
