Yksi (#1) Cabin on Otter Lake - Manninen's Cabins

One of seven log cabins on Otter Lake in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula
15 miles from Houghton/MTU

Come relax and take in the quiet beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Our seven log cabins overlook Otter Lake, a 900-acre sport fishing, paddling and boating paradise. Built by Finnish settlers in the 1930s, the cabins offer full kitchens and baths, cozy comforts and traditional Scandinavian décor.

Cabin #1 sleeps six and is the most spacious and oldest of the cabins.

Features include:
1) Two separate bedrooms, one with two doubles and the other with one queen
2) Traditional Finnish / square log construction
3) Brick fireplace (non-working)
4) Spacious open kitchen / living / dining room
5) Large deck overlooking the lake
6) Full bath with shower
7) Front and side entrances
8) Reserved parking next to cabin

The cabin also includes a 12-foot aluminum boat for your use. Canoes, kayaks and paddleboards are also available. More than 300 feet of shoreline, two docks and acres to explore!

House Rules:
-No children are permitted to take a boat out unless accompanied by an adult. The boat operator is responsible for any damage, accident or casualty.
-No cleaning of fish in the cabin. There is a fish cleaning table with water, lights and waste pails behind the cabins.
-Absolutely no burning of the fireplaces. They are not operable.
-Dogs are allowed, up to 2 pets per cabin. There are additional pet fees (see add-ons)

Lovely Cabin and Hostess

My stay at Yksi cabin was very lovely! The cabin was plenty large enough to visit at the table or relax on the couch. The cabin and the amenities were very clean, smelled fine, and was a pleasure to have in the setting. The cabins are perched above the lake in a small wooded area that feels very private. My black lab Otso really enjoyed sniffing out the property and it worked great as a way to visit the UP without having to leave him behind.

My family and I had a great time! Christine was a great host and we will likely return in the future. The only draw back were the mosquitoes, but that’s just part of being in the woods.
