Overall, the cottage was very nice and clean and the location is hard to beat. The lake being right there and being able to wade out to waist area 100 yards into the water was great.

Our family had an amazing time at this cabin right on Lake Michigan! The place was off the main road set back in the woods and right in the water which allowed for privacy. Loved that this cabin was pet friendly and very clean, organized and beautiful! Thank you for our stay and helping us to make awesome summer memories!

Marissa, we love hearing tat you had an amazing time! Please come again to make even more memories.
The property was a great and relaxing destination for our family. Very accommodating for five adults and one dog, the property offered all amenities we needed and provided comfortable sleeping quarters. The weather was a bit cooler, so we utilized the fire pit and comfy outdoor chairs. Aside from the mayflies, the property host was responsive to our questions and provided all necessary information in advance of our arrival. Would book again!

Loved the short walk out the back door to the firepit and ‘private’ beach and warm shallow water. Grilled outside every night. Nicely appointed kitchen for an older home.

Matt, we're so happy that Cedar Cabin worked out so well for you. Grilling every night, the fire pit and a private beach certainly makes for a great summer getaway. We hope that you come back again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our cabin experience ... a long weekend for our anniversary. The location and beach are beautiful ... looking out at the moon over the water. The bed is very comfortable and snug. We enjoyed fires in the evening and cooked delicious meals in the well stocked kitchen. Thank you for a lovely stay.

2nd Time Back - and will not be the last - love this place
This is our second summer coming up here and we are going to try to make it a tradition. This cabin is cozy, well stocked, and has a view and access to the lake like no other.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful place! We will see you again soon!

We stayed with three boys (2, 5 and 8) and our dog in mid summer. The house was roomy and comfortable. The beach was fantastic and the shallow water was kind of perfect for the whole family. We just settled into the rhythm of being on the beach - swimming, playing in the sand, making a campfire and grilling.

I definitely recommend the property. I stayed there with my 2 teenage kids and a dog and it was a memorable experience. The house is located beautifully in the woods at a small beach on Michigan Lake. Lots of privacy and peace. The house is very clean and cosy, with beautiful new bathrooms.
We would definitely come again!

Monika, we are so please to hear that you and your family enjoyed Cedar Cabin on the Bay. Located right on beautiful Green Bay (Lake Michigan), Cedar Cabin on the Bay, is a wonderful space to vacation. Bring your pet and sit by the fire pit for late evening conversations. This is a true log cabin.
This is a renovated log cabin right on Green Bay. It’s been well-cared-for, and owners have thought of several ways to make guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Instructions and description were brief, concise, and appreciated. We would definitely rent again if plans take us to that area again. Thank you for such a pleasant stay.

This cabin is just steps from the water, and has the best set up for a relaxing break for cooking in the fully equiped kitchen, sleeping in the comfortable beds, enjoying a fore in the pit by the lake, and relaxing in the shade of the trees. This cabin has updated bathrooms (with a rain shower) and an open kitchen/dining/living room set up with gorgeous windows that face the lake. I would height recommend this cabin to anyone, and we hope to return again soon!
