The feeling of a cabin. The ease of home.
Come for the wild. Keep the comforts.
Each cabin gives you room to settle in: two bedrooms, a full kitchen, full bath, screen porch, grill, Wi-Fi, cable, linens and a wood-burning fireplace in fall and winter.
Your place in the woods.
Not a motel room
A little home beside a very big lake.
Wake up, make breakfast in your own kitchen, hike all day, grill dinner, then walk down to the shoreline for a fire and sunset. It is simple in the best possible way.
- Fully equipped kitchens and full baths
- Screen porches, grills and beach access
- Two-bedroom layouts for couples, families and friends
- One wheelchair-accessible cabin
- Pet-friendly stays available in designated cabins
A different vacation every season
The same shoreline. Four completely different worlds.
Hike the Porkies in summer, watch the forest ignite with fall color, ride Trail #1 in deep winter, or come in spring when waterfalls are running hard.
Fall
Color country
Cool nights, fireplace weather and one of the U.P.'s great foliage landscapes.
Winter
Ride the Western U.P.
Groomed forest trails, heavy lake-effect snow and direct access to the Porcupine Mountains area.
Spring
Waterfall season
Snowmelt brings the rivers and falls of Ontonagon County roaring back to life.

Porcupine Mountains
Lake of the Clouds

Big sky, small crowds
Dark nights, open water and the chance to catch the northern lights from the shoreline.

The property itself is part of the trip.
You do not have to drive anywhere to find the lake, the sunset, the fire, the stars or a place to sit and listen to the water.
