About this property

Quiet, rustic cabin on East Twin Lake near St. Helen, Michigan

A perfect getaway for family and friends! Enjoy a quiet vacation on East Twin Lake in a cabin with everything you will need to relax and have fun. The cabin has 265 feet of shoreline with a sandy beach and dock. Swimming by the dock is great with a sandy bottom. Take a canoe or kayak out to the island or on a cruise around the lake. Some life jackets are provided. The kids (and some adults) will also enjoy hanging out in the tree house and swinging. Enjoy a campfire on the beach each night while watching the sunset.

Across the lake is state forest with plenty of trails for your 4-wheelers and dirt bikes. In the winter, the snow mobile trails are easily accessible as well. Trails will take you to St. Helen and all of the trails available in the area. Fishing on the lake is fantastic. There are endless Bluegill and the occasional Bass or Pike that can be caught right off the dock all summer long.

St. Helen, West Branch and Prudenville/Houghton Lake are all within about a 20 minute drive. Each town has restaurants and access to groceries and supplies.

The cabin will easily sleep 8-10 people. Three bedrooms have queen size beds and the fourth bedroom has bunk beds and a single. There is also a bed on the porch and a futon in the sunroom. There is one full bath and the second bathroom has a toilet and sink. At the bottom of the steps coming into the cabin is an outdoor foot wash. All linens and bath towels are provided. Please bring your own beach towels.

The kitchen is fully equipped including a coffee maker, toaster and blender. There is also a grill on the deck making it easy to cook out (propane included). Please note, there is no dishwasher. A washer and dryer is available. Please bring your own laundry soap.

There are plenty of games to play along with a huge Jenga set. There is one TV with a DVD/Blueray player. Wifi has been recently added along with a Smart TV. The lake is typically quiet with the occasional jet ski or fishing boat going by.

There are no boat rentals on the lake. Also, there is no boat launch area. However, across the lake there is a campground with a dirt area where you can get a fishing boat in the water.

Lovely cabin in the woods

We loved our stay. House was beautiful and had everything we needed. Lake is beautiful and quit, perfect for taking the boats out and we caught lots of fish. Swimming was good for the little kids but the water was very shallow so hard for older ones to swim. We took a short drive to Higgins lake which had a beautiful state park beach. Town was only 20minutes away. Overall would highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet layed back vacation.

2023 Annual family vacation

Every year my brothers and i take a week long family vacation. This year was great we enjoyed the house with plenty of room for all, kayaks, lake and beachfront, had plenty of room or nerf wars and traditional hide and seek games. The only thing was no internet and phones did not get good service, so make sure to bring dvd for raining day's.

Great Cabin

We stayed here for a yearly family week vacation (ages 4 years old thru 86 years old) and had a great time. The cabin was very clean and very well stocked (best stocked with linen, towels, and kitchen needs we've ever seen). Updated linen, blankets and furnature impressed everyone, as did the many bedrooms and sleeping locations (kids loved the bed on the enclosed porch/dining area lol). The lake is small, but so peaceful, great fishing (lots of bluegill and big bass) and perfect for kayaking and nightly fires. Communication with the owner was top notch and very quick. All in the family vote to stay again.

First Annual Family Camp

We choose this property to entertain Grandparents, Parents, Siblings and Cousins ranging in age 6 to 67 for some much needed family bonding. The basketball court, treehouse, good fishing from the dock and swimming were an intricate part of the selection process. However, prior to allowing entrance to the tree house, an adult inspected it and found numerous raccoon poops on the front porch. By the second day we were overwhelmed with ticks on our body and in our hair. We are a family that loves the outdoors. But the brush in the yard and long beach grass proved to be a major tick breeding ground. We spent countless hours combing through Granddaughters waist long hair for peace of mind. Several family members found the critters on them. We enjoyed the great fishing from the dock. Youngsters caught and released several large fish, including large mouth bass and a large pike. The cabin was spacious and very clean. The use of rowboat, canoe and kayaks was an added pleasurable bonus. The basketball court got daily use and kept the older boys entertained. The swimming was FIVE STAR for our Granddaughters aged 5 and 8 years! The water is just the right depth, with a dock to jump off and a sandy beach and sandy lake bottom. We enjoyed the beachside firepit in the evenings but found it awkwardly too close to the neighbors dock. Having to look at and converse with them on their way to their pontoon boat as they embark for evening boat rides. We would enjoy this property again if the brush were cut down and the beach grass mowed short to discourage ticks.

We are a group of 8 long time girl friends. This cottage was a perfect fit for all of us - plenty of comfortable sleeping arrangements, lots of space to move around and spread out. The cottage is a wonderful place to stay! Owners are very pleasant and communicate quickly with your questions. We will be booking for next summer very soon!

Loon Lane Lodge

We enjoyed our stay at Loon Lane Lodge . It was very peaceful, smaller than expected, but the cottage was large and wonderful! It is a bit far from town for those needed items such as gas for boat and ice for coolers, that would be one thing we would have preferred. It is a very weedy area, but possibly a protected wet land area. Sand on beach was nice but swimming area is very very limited. We did enjoy the kayaks and row boat that were provided. Though we were a large group, the cabin provided many rooms to find peace and quiet as needed. Peaceful and restful describes this vacation home best.

Such a great time!

My family spent a week at this cabin and loved our stay. It was absolutely so relaxing and peaceful. The cabin sits very secluded and the lake is calm most of the time. Watching the loons, hummingbirds, and woodpeckers were so fun. We used the kayaks and row boat which made our stay even better. Just a heads up, someone did make a homemade anchor for the row boat but I brought my own as well. The lake has a ton of bass and we caught 2 lb bass right off the dock. Would recommend and want to stay there again!

Second Year review

The second year was just as pleasant as the last time. The kids enjoyed themselves just as much. Staying a whole week allow us to relax more and not feel as rushed with wanting to get all the activities in. We did miss the sandy beach area but made up for it by hunting for frogs. The extended dock was vital for making it an enjoyable experience for all.

Perfect place to relax and unwind

Loved everything about this cabin. The location was great. It was off the beaten path, in the woods, with a beautiful lake view. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. The fishing was really good, we caught Bass, Pike, and Perch. Would very much like to return again next summer.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Brown

Host profile image
Two families bought Loon Lane Lodge in 2010 and have renovated it over the years. As our kids all have gotten older and busier with sports, we decided to rent the cabin in 2017 so others can enjoy this amazing, relaxing vacation spot.

What makes this property unique

The cabin features great view from the screened in porch. Loons, Bald Eagles and even swans swim by all summer long. The lake is smaller and not busy with loud speed boats. In 20 minutes you can be to civilization with grocery stores, restaurants and even an outlet mall.
