Loons and eagles live on this large, scenic lake.
Come enjoy the cedar dock. (bring your boat or rent a pontoon nearby)

Take out the paddleboat or 2 canoes

make smores over our campfire area, wood provided
This is a kid friendly cottage:
From the yard, take two steps down to the dock....
From the dock, take two steps down to the sand....
--children love to play in the sand here:)
CLEAN - CHARMING - PRIVATE - SPACIOUS - PANORAMIC - LOVED BY KIDS & ADULTS :)
The fully equipped cabin offers 2 bedrooms plus large sunny porch, and spacious full bath with shower, fireplace, deck, scenic panoramic view of lake, gorgeous view of nearby Pells Island.
Close to walking trails, steps to the boat launch, a top restaurant is only 4 cabins away, quick drive to all conveniences.
**need more space? add a LITTLE RED CABIN: available for families wishing for additional accommodations, we offer this charmer directly across the gravel drive, within view of the beach bucket
Details--The little red cabin is set up nicely with a kitchen, small dining table and living area. It has a separate bedroom with queen (12" high density foam comfort) bed, and small bath with shower. It is charming and comfortable
We have an additional twin bed off the living area too, so children can sleep separately.
*the Little Red Cabin is priced at half the rate of the beach bucket. This cabin is intended an add-on for the main cabin. First priority is for renters at main cabin. Weeks open to others thereafter.
OUTDOOR FUN: Watch (& hear) the Loons from your deck overlooking the lake; go fishing off a new dock, launch the 2 person paddle boat; canoe too.....or just lounge on the front deck
Beach Bucket--INTERIOR COMFORT: The cottage has an open floor plan for socializing and features 2 bedrooms and generous size bath with shower. The entire cabin is lined with traditional knotty pine walls, comfortable seating. Full stone fireplace has an insert for coziness! Large windows frame a wonderful view of the serene lake and sandy shore.
Note: We sleep 6 in provided bedding — including a pullout couch and two beds. We accept 7 if you want to bring a crib or air mattress.
EASY CENTRAL LOCATION: Only 5 miles west of I-75 assures access to all of northern Michigan!... Lunch in Petoskey, shop in Harbor Springs, dinner in Cross Village... or catch a ferry to Mackinac Island.
We are close to Mackinaw City, Cheboygan, Indian River, Petoskey, or Cross village for day trips or any meals.
Nearby are vegetable stands, video rentals, restaurants, convenience stores, & gas stops---just a few minutes away
Classic fun in a classic cabin, close to everything.
Michigan sales tax is 6%
*** We fill up preferred weeks quickly, so book soon.
We make vacations easy, and welcome our repeat guests
