About this property

Lakefront with Kayaks, Game Room — No Host or Cleaning Fees

  • We never charge host, cleaning, pet (up to two dogs) or extra guest fees!

    Be our guest at this beautiful Northern Michigan vacation home. This 2,000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 2 bath lodge style home is nestled among towering hardwoods and offers scenic views of Cedar Lake. The interior features knotty pine, exposed log beams, ceramic tile, and a cozy fireplace.

    Enjoy watching wildlife roam through the yard from your 100 feet of private frontage on Cedar Lake. The home is thoughtfully designed with family fun in mind and includes separate areas for adults and children, making it comfortable for families and multi-generation groups.

    THE HOME
    The main great room features an HD TV with Roku, a DVD player, and a DVD library, making it a comfortable space for relaxing after a day on the lake.

    The walkout basement includes a pool table, board games, an HD TV with Roku, and a PlayStation 2 with games. This lower-level space is ideal for kids, teens, and casual evening entertainment while allowing adults to enjoy quieter time upstairs.

    THE LAKE AND LOCATION
    Cedar Lake is a peaceful no-wake fishing lake, ideal for morning coffee kayak trips, fishing with the family, or simply relaxing by the water. It is quiet, scenic, and never crowded.

    The home is off the beaten path yet centrally located in one of Northern Michigan’s most desirable vacation areas. Located just west of downtown Traverse City, you are only minutes from Empire, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Old Mission Peninsula. It is an excellent home base for exploring everything Northern Michigan has to offer.

Great Spring Break in the woods!

Our family of 4 (plus medium-sized dog) had a wonderful 5 nights here in the woods. We enjoyed how far away from everything we felt while at the cabin, but how close we actually were to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and more.

Best vacation spot ever

We stayed for 4 nights and let me tell you we did not want to leave. We have been all over the United States and this was by far our favorite spot we have ever stayed in. Beautiful cabin, beautiful private location, with a Great Lake and pontoon boat. Would be perfect for a girls weekend retreat, guys weekend retreat or even just a get away for the family. Pretty much 20 minutes from everything you want to travel too. We hope to stay there every year. Could not have had a better trip.

This cabin is in a quiet wooded area with a view of Cedar Lake that is really beautiful. Kayaks, a canoe and even a pontoon boat are available. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay! Cabin is close to wineries, waterfront restaurants, breweries and downtown TC. Favorite spots were Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mission Lighthouse and Historic Fishtown. 10/10 experience!

Had a great time on Cedar Lake fishing, boating, kayaking, fires, golf, cards, cornhole, and also trips into Traverse City. Enjoyed the surrounding area on Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Ann. The cabin and pontoon boat were excellent for the week of fun with family.

The property was in good condition. During the summer there is only a very small view of the lake from the house, however that's because the property is so wooded. I'll note that the property has well water that is completely untreated. I think it's technically safe to drink but it tastes bad and smells like eggs. As long as you bring a lot of bottled water or jugs of water you should be OK. Don't wash any clothes that are too precious to you as the well water gave some of our clothes rusty streaks. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you prepare for the well water, this is a really great place to stay.

Wonderful Michigan Getaway!

Our stay was great! Cozy cabin, clear lake for swimming, loved kayaking and swimming off the pontoon. The home is situated between Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. We loved our outdoor adventures and the cabin was great for our indoor rainy days too!

Nice cabin, enjoyed our stay

Overall my family and I enjoyed our stay here. The woods are peaceful and kayaking on the lake was fun. When I first saw the list of extra things to bring like soap and TP I was disappointed that we had to pack extra, but we ended up finding a lot of what we needed left at the house by previous guests. There is a dollar general five minutes away so I would recommend seeing what you need first and grabbing it there. Overall we would be happy to stay again!
