You have to meet the owner to check in - would have preferred a no contact check in so you donât feel like youâre putting him out waiting for us to show up.
Location is on the water and great vibe. Bathroom could be updated.
We really enjoyed our stay and would 100% stay here again. The cabins are old and do need some work, but our overall experience was amazing. The view is great and super peaceful to sit out at night or wake up to in the morning. My kids absolutely loved it here too so that is an added bonus! Definitely recommend! And Richie was super friendly and a great host!
Really good location. Right on Carp Lake where you can view some great sunsets. Also a short drive to Wilderness State Park. Cabin was super nice and even had wifi and a smart TV. It was a perfect place for guyâs weekend. The owner Ritchie was very nice. Would recommend like others have said to bring extension cords or power strips if you think youâll be using them as outlets are limited. But we really enjoyed our stay and will most likely be back.
This place was perfect for us, sitting right on a 19,000 acre Lake. screened-in porch very unique country feel in a log home. probably 15 mi from Mackinaw City we honestly put 900 miles on our vehicle while staying there for 3 days. Petoskey, Charlevoix, Boyne Mountain ,Sheboygan, Harbor Springs, and the UP
We had a great stay at this property! The description and pcitures were accurate, very rustic but charming. The view and the lake were amazing and Ritchie was great at communicating. We really enjoyed our stay!
Cabin is located right on carp lake beautiful views. A Restaurant to eat is very close and food is good. The cabin was clean and in very good condition. We had a very good experience.
Right on Carp Lake! Relaxing porch is a few feet from the water! Two convenient restaurants very close with great food. Perfect for day trips to Mackinaw Island and Whitefish Point. Not fancy. Bring extention cords as no outlets in the bedrooms. Bathroom needs an update. Cement floor. Loved our 2 night stay!
Beautiful lake views perfect for star gazing and sunrises. Rustic not fancy but clean and comfy.
Really enjoyed this rustic find. Would recommend bringing your own soap and K cups. Would have loved wood for the fire pit. Just a couple of small upgrades would be nice.
We really enjoyed our stay in the vintage cabin. It really is charming and quaint. Our favorite part is the screened in porch and we spent our time on the porch or at the waterfront. Very nice little lake. Very relaxing.
Great little rustic cabin. Amazing location just feet from the lake(not that we got in the frigid water!!:) ) Easy drive to Mackinaw City and Bridge where we found great food. Will have to come back in warmer weather sometime so we can also enjoy the lake.
The sweet cabins are exactly as described--rustic and quaint. Ours was the perfect size for my daughter and myself. The sound of the waves lapping right beyond the porch was soothing, making for great sleeping. The weather was gorgeous but freezing; thankfully the cabin had plenty of comforting heat. Thank you Ritchie!
Itâs an old cabin without many amenities, like outlets in the bedrooms. We didnât care. We were there to relax and we were able to do that. The lake was right out the back door. We were unable to enjoy that due to the time of year, but that just gives us reason to return. We missed some cabin time getting stuck in the UP when the bridge was closed for ice falling, but we still had a great trip overall.
We loved this little cabin. Itâs certainly rustic, like the listing says, but itâs charming and clean, and just steps away from the lake. We had our two dogs with us and we all loved the screened in porch, the waterfront views, and listening to the lake while falling asleep.
The location of the cabin is great, close to Mackinaw City. Ritchie was super easy going and communication was great. The downside is the cabin and resort are very run down and in need of an overhaul. The bathroom was extremely rustic and was more of an outhouse experience.
Born and raised in Northern Michigan, Iâve worked with the special needs community for over 30 years. By recently purchasing a little 7 cabin lakefront resort, I was able to transition my career to incorporate my love for camping, outdoor activity, and local history in a way I can share with others. I offer vacation rentals of vintage rustic lakeside cabins that were established in 1929. I welcome guests who love the camping experience while venturing to the Mackinac area historic sites, adventurers who come to enjoy outdoor activities, or those who are simply here to relax and enjoy the areaâs natural beauty.
I fell in love with this property because it encompasses the style of vintage cabins from days gone by, back when times were simpler. The cabins offer the nostalgic feel of the camping experience I remember enjoying as a child.
Cabin #3 - "Tamarack" Named after a type of pine tree found in the Northern United States and Canada, this one is similarly named to it's sister cabin. With the largest enclosed porch, this 2 bedroom, 490 sq ft cabin becomes a great gathering place.
