About this property

Lakefront Cabin on Lake Elni-Kayaks-Firepit-Sunsetperfect for relaxing getaway

Escape to our cozy lakefront cabin on Lake Elni. Enjoy over 100’ of private frontage, fire pit, fishing, kayaking, and peaceful sunsets. Minutes from Clear Lake, downtown West Branch, golf, hiking, and ORV/snowmobile trails.

Perfect for families, couples, and anyone looking to relax, reconnect, and experience the best of an Up North getaway.

Welcome to our cozy little cabin on peaceful Lake Elni — the perfect spot to relax, unplug, and enjoy everything Northern Michigan has to offer. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath getaway is thoughtfully stocked to help you settle in comfortably from the moment you arrive.

The kitchen includes pots and pans, plates, glasses, coffee mugs, wine glasses, cooking utensils, silverware, oven mitts, baking sheets, grilling pans, and more. While we do not have a dishwasher, we provide plenty of dish soap and kitchen essentials to make cleanup easy. There is also a coffee maker that brews both single-serve pods and traditional pots of coffee, including cold brew options. We provide complimentary coffee pods to help get your morning started before heading to the store to stock up on groceries and supplies.

The cabin is equipped with a portable air conditioning unit to help keep you comfortable during warmer months. We also provide window fans for the bedrooms if additional airflow is desired.

Off the back of the family room, you'll find a cozy four-seasons room featuring a comfortable futon and dining table — the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, play cards, read a book, or unwind after a day on the lake.

Step outside onto the covered porch with seating for four, where you can begin and end your day soaking in the peaceful views of Lake Elni. One of the best things about Lake Elni is its calm atmosphere — it is a no-swim, no-wake lake, making it ideal for fishing, kayaking, paddle boating, and quiet relaxation on the water.

If you're looking for more excitement, Clear Lake — a popular all-sports lake — is just a ten-minute walk or two-minute drive from the cabin.

The property also features 100 feet of private lake frontage and a spacious yard with plenty of room for yard games, relaxing in the hammock, or simply enjoying the outdoors with family and friends.

Please note that the cabin does not have a washer or dryer. However, there is a local laundromat in town available for guests who need laundry services during their stay. To ensure every guest enjoys a fresh and comfortable experience, all linens are professionally laundered, and the cabin is professionally cleaned and inspected before each arrival.

We provide bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths for your stay. Guests should plan to bring their own beach towels for use at the lake or while enjoying the outdoors.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful fishing retreat, a family getaway, or a home base to explore the area, our little cabin on Lake Elni offers a relaxing and comfortable place to make lasting memories.

All guest entry is contactless. Guests will receive unique entry code upon booking.

Lastly, please note that our cottage is located in a beautiful wooded lakeside neighborhood, which means you may encounter local wildlife during your stay. This could include deer, skunks, raccoons, otters, ducks, mice, spiders, wasps, bees, crickets, black flies, ants, and other creatures that naturally call Northern Michigan home. These animals and insects are part of the area's natural environment, and we have no control over their presence.

We do our best to keep our listing photos accurate and up to date. However, please note that photos are often taken during ideal lighting, weather, and seasonal conditions. The appearance of the property, lake, shoreline, vegetation, wildlife, water levels, weather conditions, and surrounding scenery may vary depending on the time of year and current environmental conditions.

We take great pride in maintaining our property, but Mother Nature ultimately runs the show. Because wildlife, seasonal insects, changing lake levels, weather conditions, and other natural elements are a normal part of the Northern Michigan experience, we are unable to offer refunds related to these naturally occurring environmental conditions.

The wife and I were trying to pick a decent spot that looked quiet enough, and on the water so we could wake up and have coffee in the morning and just relax in peace before a day of fishing.We found the accommodations appropriate for us, we had everything we needed and had no complaints whatsoever. Having access to the cannoes and peddle bost was wonderful, it let us get out on the water away from all of the lily pads and we caught some small mouth bass, blue gill, and pike. When we were hungry we stopped up at the clearlake party store about 3 mins away and grabbed what we needed and for dinner we went back up to eat at the clearlake bar and grill. Everything we needed was minutes away.The hosts were eager to supply us with any help that we needed, and laid out all of the information about check in / check out to adequately help us.Wish we had the time to stay a few more days! Thanks for listing your cabin as a place to stay at on vrbo.

The cottage was great with respect to cleanliness, quality of the bedding, fridge and stove were great! Plenty of towels, hand towels, and wash clothes! Furniture in living room was new and top shelve Outside covered deck was great! There was also a small Inside seasonal room facing the water where we played cards and watched the hummingbirds! There was also a very nice futon to sit on also! The lake is shallow max of 9 feet but most of the lake is a couple of feet at best! Fishing is spotty at best, but owners were very responsive to our needs! If ur looking for a place to relax and look out at the lake under the covered porch or at the fire pit by the water u can't ask for a more relaxing and quiet cottage!
