About this property

Northwoods Fishing & Hunting Getaway on Porter Lake

This is a rustic cedar log cabin that is off-grid but has most of the amenities of home. Perfect to get away from it all. The view from the front window wall and deck is the beautiful expansive northwoods and overlooks a semi-private lake that is known for northern pike and walleye as well as other warm water species of fish. If needed, heat is provided by a freestanding propane fireplace. The open great room has vaulted ceilings to compliment the cedar log wall construction. Use of boat and motor, and a canoe, are part of the package. A modern dock provides boat moorage and a relaxing place to view sunsets and enjoy the clear water of Porter Lake. Additional fishing and water recreation is available at nearby Cable Lake, which offers a public boat landing.

In addition to fishing, a network of gravel & dirt roads provide access to miles of potential ORV use, hiking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, bird watching, fall color touring, and hunting. The area is known to be some of the best habitat for moose in Michigan. Bald eagles are commonly seen from the cabin deck and loons are known to nest on the lake. Waterfowl, white tail deer, grouse, and black bear are native to the area and abundant.

Power is provided by solar panels with battery storage. A back-up generator restores batteries on cloudy days or when needed. The cabin is located approximately 20 miles north of Crystal Falls, then 9 miles west and south.

This is not a commercial-type rental or a resort and is quite remote. There is no wi-fi, no regular TV, and cell service is spotty,

Great cabin, very remote 10 miles from main road. Hunting and fishing not as good as we hoped but everyone in the group had a great time! Thanks to our hosts Jim and Julie for letting our dogs be part of our trip!

Loons on the lake
We adored our time at Porter Lake and could not be more grateful to have been able to visit Jim and Julie’s wild oasis. There were loons on the lake almost all of the time we were there, bald eagles flew overhead, and we only saw another boat once the whole week. We used the canoe and the jon boat every day. Even though we don’t fish, it was just nice to be out on lake. As avid kayakers, we rented one in town which Julie helped us find and it gave us even another way to explore the lake. The cabin is perfect. The view was amazing. And our one-year old puppy was as happy as could be and so were we. It was peaceful, magic and fun.

Nature Lovers Don’t Hesitate
Just a wonderful cabin in a beautiful setting off the beaten path, smack dab in the middle of nature. Despite having less than perfect weather we were able to catch our fair share of Northern Pike, Walleye, and personal best Smallmouth Bass. Also we’re fortunate to see Eagles, real close to a beaver, and coyote (on the trip in) but sadly the Moose evaded us. Trips to nearby Canyon and Bond falls are not to be missed as well as Horserace Rapids. Lastly we enjoyed a great BBQ dinner at the Curious Pig in Crystal Falls if you’re looking for a good meal out. Fun times and many thanks to Jim and Julie for being such great hosts!
