About this property

Log Cabin in Pristine Northern Woods and Water Retreat

This is not your ordinary vacation rental. If you need to be on the phone or the computer, this is not the place for you. We do provide a TV for watching movies. Twenty miles north of the Mackinaw Bridge, we are in the middle of the Hiawatha National Forest on a small inland lake. Yet we are close enough to freeway and local attractions, to return to civilization whenever the mood strikes.
Please note: Read through the Rental Contract for more details on this listing.

The lake is a shallow lake good for kayaking,(3 kayaks are included as is a rowboat), canoeing, and fishing. We are surrounded by forest and wildlife. It is not uncommon to see wolves, bears, and on a rare occasion moose.
The lake has 3 pair of nesting loons, that fill the air with the pristine sound of nature. Great spot for birding. If you love birds you will be in paradise. Eagles, hummingbirds, pileated woodpeckers, kingfishers, warblers, more types of water fowl than I can list here.

North Country Trail traverses the area and is excellent for hiking. ATV trails are also near by. If you enjoy biking cross country, you will love it here.

Lake Michigan Beach off US-2 is about 20 minutes away, if you want to enjoy swimming on a beautiful sandy shoreline. Tacquamenon Falls are about a hour north, as is Whitefish Point. The ferry to Mackinaw Island is a half an hour south. Sault Ste. Marie and the Soo Locks, are 45 min. northeast.

This is the place to really escape. Easy access on good roads. Very few houses on this thousand acre lake, as 75% of the shoreline is owned by the national forest.

Family Getaway
Quintessential "up North" cabin - a perfect, semi-rustic getaway. Cabin and location are perfect.

Relaxing Family Vacation
The cabin was just like the pictures! Rustic, charming, and had everything you needed to keep all guests satisfied. Coffee on the porch every morning, games, movies, bonfires, or kayaking in the evening. Centrally located to go out and explore different experiences each day. One suggestion is to add or bring a pillow top to each bed as they were quite firm/hard. Thanks Michigan for a great time!

Wonderful escape
Absolutely amazing cabin in the middle of no where. My family and I had a great time fishing and kayaking. My kids fed chipmunks right out of their hand and a friendly female duck would come by a couple times a day and my daughter would feed her too. Our time at the cabin was great.

Majestic
Out stay was amazing. We stayed during a record high heat wave during the 4th of July week and the cabin was cool and relaxing. This cabin accommodated two families of four and made for memories to last a life time. You can relax, fish, hike, and even jump right on the near by trails for side-by-sides or snowmobiles. Conveniently located just outside St Ignace you are just a short jump away to Mackinac Island, the Locks, Whitefish Point, and many more. We loved the Dunes Beach nearby. This cabin is one that you can enjoy time and time again. Thanks Scott for your awesome hospitality.
