Beautifully Furnished Log Home on Secluded Shetland Creek

Are you looking for respite from the world? Stay a million miles away but just down the road from Glen Arbor, Leland and Sleeping Bear National Park in this beautiful log home. 'Cabin on the Creek' is a great up-north retreat! Tucked in the woods on Shetland Creek, this 4 bedroom 3 bath log home will sleep 10 people with 1 Queen, 2 Full, 2 Twins, and 1 Queen sofa-bed.

Relax by 1500 feet of creek side waterfront and enjoy the peace and quiet of 20 acres of woodland. You may just see the trout make their spawning runs in the spring and the salmon in the fall. Deer and squirrels visit almost daily.

Decks off of upper and lower level of house overlooking the creek. Only a few miles to Lime Lake, Little Traverse Lake, Sleeping Bear National Lake shore or Lake Michigan. A/C, washer/dryer, gas fireplace, fire pit, charcoal grill, cable TV/DVD/VCR, WIFI, linens provided. Will consider your well-mannered dog. No smoking. Summer stays are Sat.-Sat. only.

If you need additional room for your vacation group, see our nearby guest house rental at VRBO # 295701.

Great place!

The property was beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen was the most complete of any place I have rented. I could not have asked for more. We had 8 people stay here very comfortably. The fire pit area was perfect and the creek running near the house added an incredibly relaxing vibe any time that you sat on the porches.

Comfortable and scenic - loved it!

We had 8 people, ages 7 to 70, and the cabin worked out great for everyone. The cabin has plenty of space, it is clean and well-organized, with all the amenities we needed. The location is lovely - secluded in the woods by a peaceful stream - but still easy enough to get to Glen Arbor, Leland, and Maple City. There are so many things to do nearby, we really needed another week or more. Hoping to come back again!

Fall colors

We were there at a perfect time at peak color and with beautiful weather. The location is very private and right by a beautiful creek. We spent lots of time on the porches enjoying the view and the water sounds. Inside was great with bathroom on each of the 3 floors and bedroom or two on each. This was really nice for us to be able to spread out as we wanted. House is well-equipped and very clean. We plan to come back!

Perfect Michigan Cabin

Everything you need/want in a vacation home! We love staying at the cabin on the creek and will definitely be back again. The home has everything you need, is in a beautiful, secluded setting, and close access to some of the best Lake Michigan beaches. Added plus that it is dog friendly in every way! Our only tip is to bring a mattress topper if you aren’t a fan of hard (like rock hard) mattresses haha. Other than that—10/10!

Family Stay in the North Woods

Cabin on the Creek exceeded expectations. It was clean, cozy, comfortable and cheery! Kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked with all the supplies and utensils we needed. Added bonus was a working (gas) fireplace that was welcome on the cold days. We enjoyed the view of the woods and creek; and the seclusion.

ML Cabin fun

Cabin is adorable. Very clean. However, the water smelled strongly of sulfer and was brown when we ran the faucets initially. I’ve had properties with wells before and never experienced this. We would love to come back when the weather is better!

Peaceful location close to everything.

This was our second visit to this beautiful cabin on the creek. Every day we walked our dogs and enjiyed the woods and nature. The house is about half a mile in down a lane. It is not scary remote, the owners house is near as are other houses but just out of sight so you have complete privacy. The cabin has an open floor plan perfect for large groups. W Itsscaremote.
