About this property

Charming Lakefront Log Cottage, With 4 Star Furnishings, 15 min. N of Mighty Mac

This quaint 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath log and knotty pine cottage is situated on 150' of frontage directly on beautiful Brevort Lake. Brevort Lake is a 4400 acre swimming and fishing lake nestled in the Hiawatha National Forest. 85% of the lake is federally owned, making it quiet and protected by a tree-lined waterfront. The cottage, named The Fish House, is decorated and appointed to meet your every desire during your vacation at the lake. While relaxing outdoors in the secluded park-like setting you will delight in pristine sights and sounds including eagles, loons, swans, as well as breathtaking sunsets and sparkling night skies. A spacious brick paver patio overlooks the lake and a paver pathway surrounds the cottage. Outdoor ammenities include a school yard swingset, hammock, patio furniture, gas grill, fire pit, boat dock and mooring, and two kayaks. The upstairs master suite has a king luxury bed and private half bath while two additional downstairs bedrooms contain two twin luxury beds each, for a total sleeping space for six people. All bedding and bath linens are furnished. The main floor is cozy and inviting with hardwood floors and knotty pine walls, a full window wall for viewing the lake, game table, satellite tv, and a fully-equipped kitchen. We also offer a fully-equipped laundry room, supplied with beach towels. Boat rental is available from the Hunt and Fish Shop in Curtis and delivery can be made to the public boat launch on Brevort Lake. Many day trips and sightseeing excursions can be enjoyed from the comfort of your home away from home while you explore the wonderful upper peninsula!

Wonderful home and grounds!

We were there celebrating our 15 year anniversary and we loved it. Far enough away for seclusion, but close to stores and attractions.

Gorgeous view and cabin

We took a short weekend trip to the UP to visit Mackinac Island. This cabin was the perfect place for our family. Only about 25 minutes from St. Ignace and the ferry to the island. You are quite literally in the middle of nowhere though. The view of Brevoort Lake was astounding. It is so quiet and peaceful. The cabin was clean and ready for us to have a relaxing time. We would stay again!

Excellent and prompt communication-answered every question with clarity. There was an issue that we had to contact him about, & within a couple of hours he had someone come out & it was fixed. Very spacious and comfortable. Right on Brevort lake with a beautiful view. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Beautiful, secluded cabin

My wife and I brought our kids and the dogs for a long weekend. The cabin was very comfortable. The owner has done a great job making sure the cabin has all of the things needed for a nice stay. The hot tub and wood stove are no longer there but other than that we were impressed.

Long Family Weekend

My wife and I stayed with our two adult children at this property for a long weekend. We chose this property because of its location on the lake and its close proximity to Mackinaw Island and the North Country Trail. It was approximately a 22 minute drive into St. Ignace to catch the ferry to the Island, and it was roughly a 15 minute drive to the parking lot of the North Country Trail to start our 8.25 mile hike. Overall, we enjoyed the openness of the house, all of the amenities of the property, and having a front row seat to Brevort Lake. We hope to be a return visitor next summer or fall.

Our Family stay at The Fish Cabin/Cottage

When at first you drive up to the cabin it looks small. However, once you get inside it's huge and absolutely beautiful! Hard wood floors, and very airy! The view of the lake was spectacular! The cabin was stocked with.everything you would need to cook with, sleep with, swim in the lake with etc...Bring your own food and you are all set!!

Nice cabin on lake

Our family enjoyed our stay at the fish house! We loved the kayaks, and the house was beautiful. We liked that it was close enough to St ignace, did a day trip to the island. It was nice the water was so shallow so far out. The listing originally said that it had a hot tub, but after booking confirmed with owner that it did not. Kind of a bummer. But enjoyed our stay without it. Kids liked the swing set.

50th Birthday Getaway

Thank you for sharing your home with us. This property is absolutely beautiful, location private and so peaceful. Loved kayaking on the lake. So peaceful and calm. We had a wonderful time and the pictures do not do this place justice. Went to Douglas Lake Bar and Steakhouse in Pellston, MI. It's about 45 minutes away, but very much worth the drive. Food, drinks and service were amazing. Also visited Tahquamenon Falls. It's a must if you are staying here and worth the drive as well. The waterfalls and views are stunning. We hope to visit again.

Beautiful waterfront property

The Fish House was a beautiful and relaxing getaway for our family of three, and our friend’s family of five. The house was clean and well stocked. We ended up bringing a dog last minute and the host was very accommodating about that. Location is about 20 minutes from St. Ignace, and located off of a quiet and private road.

Beautiful log waterfront home

Great place and even better location. Owner was easy to deal with, friendly and returned messages promptly. Really enjoyed waking up to the sound of loons instead of traffic or trains at home. My wife and I, our daughter and son-in-law and there two kids had a great time and we highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking in this area. We'll stay here again. Thanks Jim for allowing us to enjoy this great property.
