The Blissful Cabin - A cozy one-bedroom cabin with a fireplace.
Welcome to “Blissful Cabin” — a peaceful, one-of-a-kind retreat on Lake Michigan
Inside, this cozy vintage cabin captures the feel of a classic summer retreat. Thoughtfully refreshed in 2025, it now features new light fixtures that brighten the space while preserving the cabin’s original rustic charm, a beautifully remodeled bathroom with a spacious shower, baseboard heat, and a king bed and a private outdoor deck — perfect for slow mornings or evening stargazing. The skylights and screened windows bring in soft natural light and breezes, while the outdoor deck offers a peaceful place to relax.
While the cabin does not include air conditioning, we provide a box fan, and the screened windows welcome in lake breezes to keep things cool during the warmer months.
The living area includes a smart TV for quiet movie nights or catching up on your favorite shows, though we encourage guests to enjoy the slower pace of lake life. This is a place to unplug — with minimal modern distractions — just the sounds of the water, the warmth of the fireplace, and the simple beauty of cabin life.
The shoreline offers a beautiful blend of sand and stones, with its character changing naturally throughout the year. We recommend bringing water shoes for swimming or leisurely walks, especially if you're drawn to beachcombing — the rock-picking just south of the cabin is especially rewarding.
If you're looking for a cozy, character-filled space with a touch of modern comfort, all set in a naturally beautiful location, “Blissful Cabin” is ready to welcome you.

Beautiful place!! The cabin was just as pictured. We listened to the waves crashing on the shore at night and sat on the beach to watch the sunset every night. Very peaceful and romantic!! We LOVED our stay at The Blissful Cabin

Wonderful cabin right on the lake. Awesome views.Very clean and taken car of. Opportunities for improvement: Move the smoke detector from being directly above the stove. Every time I cooked it went off. Internet was down and the fireplace went out the only night I used it. Still had a wonderful time. Would go back again for sure.

We absolutely loved every minute of our wonderful week in this cabin. The cabin is rustic with a toaster that didn't toast both sides of the bread, a table that wobbles, and a couch that sinks when you sit on it, BUT it was everything we wanted and more. The bed was reasonably comfortable, the plumbing excellent (hot, strong showers), and the locale above the lake, hearing the waves, was marvelous. We didn't want to leave. It was private, stunningly gorgeous, and deeply relaxing. The VPNM staff were very responsive to my questions and accommodating throughout our stay. Blissful cabin, indeed!
