About this property

Fantastic 4-bdrm Lake House in Cedar River

  • This lakeside home nicknamed "Sisu" is an ode to our Finnish heritage and the grit and resilience that often describes northern Michiganders.
    The home is both cozy and spacious with 4 bedrooms including 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, and 1 bunk bed. There is a full-sized kitchen stocked with cooking essentials, a TV available to login to your favorite streaming services, and the primary bedroom has an extra coffee pot to get a cup of Joe before the kids wake up. This property is perfect for a fun, relaxing Upper Peninsula getaway, a stone's throw to the State Harbor, and a short drive to numerous outdoor adventures waiting to be explored. It's also a great place to enjoy staying in while you enjoy stunning lake sunrises, take a lovely swim, read a book listening to waves, fish off the harbor docks, or rent a kayak and paddle the Cedar River or Lake Michigan. We hope if you stay here that you leave with fantastic memories and the UP and Lake Michigan forever etched in your hearts.

Perfect little beach house!

The view was breathtaking and the beach house was perfect for our family of 5. The house was clean, organized, and well stocked with all the amenities needed. We relaxed and walked up and down the beach collecting rocks and sea glass. We also enjoyed a fish fry at the little bar/restaurant just down the road. We definitely want to come back in the summer!

Peaceful retreat

We had a very nice four night stay. It is very quiet and peaceful. Only recommendation would be to add wifi if possible since cell coverage is poor.

Fabulous location, location, location! On the lake! Even while cooking in the modern kitchen, I could see, hear, and feel the lake. Lovely, uncluttered, comfortable, and clean space. Definitely stop by JW Wells State Park. It’s a half mile away and has a pristine beach and gentle hikes

The house was spotless when we arrived. Unlike many VRBO properties the house had all matching quality pots and pans dishes silverware and anything else you need in a kitchen not garage sale miss match whatever. Perfectly white blankets and bedsheets. The beachfront location was perfect with a grassy yard and sandy beach. The only complaint is no grill. Hope to stay there again

Great Cabin Right on the Water

We deceided to take a kinda last minute trip to Cedar River, which we love, and this one happened to be open the three days we wanted. This is a great space right on the water with an open kitchen, dining and living space, which was great for hanging out even when we had downpours. There were four bedrooms upstairs which we very roomy, and would be perfect for a bigger family. As is typical with the area, there is not cable or internet, so we drove up to Escanaba and got some DVDs at the Goodwill, picked up a pizza and had a perfect birthday! (We left the movies at the cabin for the next family to enjoy!), When the sun finally came out and the rain stopped, me and the pups spent a beautiful morning in the water which is literally steps away. We would absolutely recommend this place, and we will look up this gorgeous place next time we want to take our trip up to this coast!
