Cabin #3 - Middle Mitten

The "Middle Mitten" is a warm, cozy, vintage rustic cabin reminiscent of simpler times and tastefully furnished with a Vintage Ode to the State of Michigan theme.

Our cabins are a cross between a rustic sporting cabin from the "road-side motel era" and a simple vintage boutique get-away. Our family-owned camp aims to provide the best elements of country lodging with updates while still maintaining that rustic cabin charm.

The "Middle Mitten", is a one room cabin that sleeps two on a full-size bed. The vintage table/desk is perfect for writing, playing a leisurely game of solitaire or relaxing with a cup of coffee while enjoying a view of the Cadillac countryside. The mini kitchen comes complete with a bar-size sink, microwave, counter high refrigerator, hot-pot and vintage electric percolator. Also included is Wi-fi, Roku Smart TV with Netflix, a vintage game or two, perhaps some reading material, a deck of cards and a cribbage board.

The weather-beaten walls of our 70-year-old cabins are crammed with memories that induce an atmosphere of northern Michigan nostalgia. Come, relax and trade the pressures of the fast modern world for a few nights of simple, up-north hospitality.

Our family hopes you enjoy our cabins as much as we have enjoyed getting them ready for you!

This is a dander free cabin - NO PETS ALLOWED - for Pet Friendly Cabins please see Cabin #5 & #10

Upfront & Honest

* Cabins are small, cozy and a bit crowded
* Old, restored windows and doors can be drafty, especially the floors which result in uneven heat.
* We're in a rural area and the Internet isn't perfect but is very reliable, it may just need an extra few seconds to load Netflix.
* Located on a busy street and near an excavating company so can be noisy at times
* Water heater is small so short showers are a must
* We are in the country next to fields and an excavating company, so there may be dust and a cobweb or two, our site people check daily but one strong gust of wind or Charlotte (the spider) may decide to spin a web...

Cleaning & Disinfecting: We at Mackinaw Timbers have always taken cleaning very seriously. Our normal routine is to wash all bedding, including comforters, blankets, sheets, towels, and rugs at every turn. We also keep protectors on our mattresses and pillows, which are disinfected between guests. All surfaces, including remotes, doorknobs, light switches, and countertops are cleaned and disinfected.

Finally, no team member will be on-site if they have any symptoms of any other illness - be it fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat etc. You can rest assured that we have always looked out for our guests, guest-prep team and family and will continue to do so.

Cadillac is home to so many great things to do and see in the great outdoors. Our rolling hills, winding rivers, diverse lakes, and various trails all connect throughout a half-million acres of National Forest for miles of fun. However, don't forget about all the awesome things to do and see that aren't on a trail or on the water. Our electronic guidebook has multiple sections of things to do in our area.
