Cabin is meant for warmer weather. When we were there the lake was frozen and too cold to do much outdoor activity. Cabin overall is nice and cozy.

Perfect Weekend Escape

My friend and I had the best weekend at this property! The information regarding location, local amenities, and the cabin itself were spot on and it was SO clean! We loved waking up to seeing the blue jays and cardinals enjoying their breakfast from the back deck and it was exactly the relaxing experience we were hoping for!

About the host

Hosted by Derek

Host profile image
The Detweiler's built the AFrame in 1969 and have been renting to vacationers ever since that time. There are many second generation families still vacationing at these cabins that they stayed at during their childhood. Our family has recently started to manage the property with our main goal being to keep everything like Ruel and Sara managed it. Our family has been coming to the Detweiler's cabins since 1982; hunting, fishing and enjoying nature. We have so many fond memories of our times spent here and we know that many other families have similar cherished memories here. That's what makes this place so special to so many.

Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful place to enjoy all four seasons. In the spring, maple syrup is made from trees on the property, wild flowers, and mushrooms abound in the area. Spring is a good time to view deer, turkey, and migrating birds. Summer is family time for hiking, fishing, swimming, or basking in the Michigan sun. There is time for day trips to Mackinaw Island, or Light Houses along the shore. In the fall, the autumn colors are some of the best in the state. Winter snow and frozen lakes bring joy to skiers, snowmobilers, and ice fisherman. This is also time to enjoy a good book by the crackling fireplace.

What makes this property unique

The A-Frame cottage is unique with its open stairway leading to the third bedroom in the open loft with upper deck off the bedroom. WiFi is available and allows you to bring your work with you if you choose. The dishwasher and wood burning fireplace are also newer to the AFrame. The best thing that many enjoy, is the privacy and away- from- it- all feeling that you have when you stay here.
