Our rustic cabin is an authentic, nearly half-century old, waterfront log home on Walloon Lake with a private beach and dock. There are cleats to tie up a rental boat or jet ski but renters do not have access to our personal boats. We are surrounded by trees on three sides and 60' from the lake on the lakeside with nothing obstructing views or access to the water. Being surrounded so closely by nature occasionally comes with sharing the space with small critters.
We have a professionally landscaped yard that includes a paved seating area and fire pit. On the deck that is attached to the cabin, there is a covered outdoor bar and comfortable seating. There is an open-air dining space on the deck with seating for tex guests. At the end of the deck is an additional heated outdoor shower for rinsing off during the summer. Adjacent to the deck is a sauna, hammock, and unique custom tree house. We are walking distance to hiking trails, a short drive to shopping and restaurants in Petoskey and Harbor Springs, and 30 minutes to amazing skiing at Boyne Highlands and Boyne Mountain. This is a cabin perfect for families looking to be on the water and in nature any time of year. Please review the details of the four bedrooms and three bathrooms before booking.
Inside, we have four comfortable bedrooms and a bonus room with an extra twin bed. There are one and one-half full bathrooms upstairs. The half bath is Jack and Jill style between two of the bedrooms. None of the upstairs bedrooms have an en suite bathroom. The primary bedroom with an en suite bathroom is on the first floor. There is an additional full bathroom on the first floor. This cabin is very comfortable for families.
The kitchen and mudroom / laundry room have been recently renovated and are on the first floor. There is an indoor dining space with seating for eight adjacent to the kitchen. The mudroom / laundry room has a full-size washer and dryer, an ice maker, and a beverage refrigerator. There is an addional refrigerator and freezer in the basement.
The cabin has all the amenities of a modern home but with a rustic feel. The large log walls and massive stone fireplace make it very cozy any time of year. As a family, we use the cabin year round so feel at home in our home but don't expect a sterile, charmless rental. You will be surrounded by family photos and keepsakes that have been part of our family forever. We welcome you and your family to spend time in our cabin and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Highly recommend this home for its location and comfort. The newly renovated kitchen was very well equipped. The outdoor spaces were terrific with extra touches like the hot tub and sauna. Use of the dock was perfect for bringing your own boat. Will definitely rent here again!
