Cabin #6 - "Wapashuwi" A unique name of unknown origin. This 2 bedroom, 528 sq ft cabin is a wonderful size for a family to spend a relaxing vacation, camping along the shore of a beautiful 1900 acre lake in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan.
This Vintage Rustic cabin, primarily designed for the camping & fishing enthusiast, is just one cabin of a 7 cabin resort. This cabin was built in the early 1950's and holds every bit of that vintage character. It may be a little rough around the edges but this authentic cabin holds the wonderful allure of days gone by. Electrical outlets would have been added a few years later and air conditioning wasn’t even thought of at that time. Those details won't matter to the outdoorsy kind coming for the camping experience where lake activity fills your day and evenings are enjoyed around the campfire. This charming cabin has a knotty pine interior and all the basics to create an Up North camping style atmosphere. A lifestyle one will appreciate becoming acquainted with.
All the cabins are lined up next to each other along the shore of a beautifully serene lake. This close proximity to other cabins have traditionally created a friendly community style atmosphere where guests mingle and create lasting friendships. This is the kind of place where your grandparents brought your parents, your parent’s brought you, and you are now bringing your children to create beautiful memories while spending a nostalgic vacation in a familiar old cabin.
The listed rate reflects the price for 4 adults or a family with children up to 6 people total. Additional adults beyond 4 will incur additional charges. This cabin has a sleeping capacity up to 6 people utilizing 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size bed and a futon in the living room. There is 1 electrical outlet next to the bed in each of the bedrooms. Other electrical outlets are minimally located throughout the cabin. The cabin has a kitchen with everything to cover your basic needs, a dinning space and a simple bathroom that includes a warm shower. The spacious 10’x6’ enclosed porch overlooking the lake is the perfect area for spending a relaxing afternoon.
Whether you are looking for a home base to camp at the lake or a base camp while you explore the area’s attractions, you will enjoy this cozy cabin and all its imperfections. More than anything, you’re gonna love the authentic charm and the carefree lifestyle that comes with camping Up North.

Richie was a good host, communication was excellent. The cabin had a great view and was exactly what was advertised. I would definitely stay here again.
The host was very friendly and accommodating . It is a cabin by the Lake…it is a little rustic…but the views make up for it all. I wish I had booked more time there.
The host was very welcoming. It was everything we expected it to be. We wanted a cabin with all the amenities and the isolation to just spend our anniversary together and we couldn't have been happier with our choice.
The host was friendly and the cabin was quiet. The location was perfect for exploring the surrounding area and there was a delicious restaurant within walking distance. I will definitely be back!
Loved how close the cabin is to the water and the quietness of the property

Loved that the water is so close to the cabin. Very quiet and the lake is gorgeous! Cabin is rustic, but we expected that. Rooms were very clean. A great experience
Stayed a couple of nights and everything was seamless. View from the cabin is spectacular. Paper towels in the kitchen would have been a nice addition.
Booked last minute due to change of plans, owner was very responsive and even allowed early check in due to getting the site cleaned fast! Very friendly and easy communication. This was an amazing experience and stay.
The cabin was great. The location is amazing, as there are many day trips to be taken from this home base. Although it's a bit rustic, it provided everything that we needed for a great "up north" weekend. We will surely be back.
Everything we wanted was close by. We had a great trip

About the host
Hosted by Ritchie Crawford
Born and raised in Northern Michigan, I’ve 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 area’s natural beauty.
Why they chose this property
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.
