The Birch is one of our dog friendly cabins. We allow up to 2 dogs in this cabin. The fee is $10 per dog per night.

*The Birch log cabin is one of our medium sized cabins. This cabin will comfortably accommodate 4 adults and 2 small children or 5 adults with its 2 queen beds and double futon.

The Birch sits back farther on the property near the Doghouse and Elm cabins. Our year round cabin offers air conditioning for the hot summer days and nights and a gas furnace for warmth to take the chill of winter away.

Ellis Lake is a 50+ acre lake enjoyed by the nature lover as you can sit on the lovely deck in the early morning hours and often hear the call of the loons and see the swans, ducks and cranes when they are back for the season. During the day our guests enjoy taking a rowboat out to try their skills at fishing for pike, bass, perch or bluegill. Take a canoe or paddle boat out and paddle around the lake to look for the painted turtles that often sun themselves on the logs near the shoreline. A swim raft sits in the middle of the lake enticing you to take a dip or enjoy the warmth of the sun. In the evening, enjoy a campfire at the fire pit and take in the billions of stars that often reflect on the water as there are no lights to hinder this magnificent view.

Tranquil cabin
Quaint rustic cabin in the woods with easy access to Interlochen, TC, and everything else the NW area of mitten has to offer. Wonderful, serene inland lake that’s a quick walk from the cabin to chill on the deck.

Just like the old days!
The cabins reminded us of the ones we vacationed at a long time ago. It was great! Our dog had a wonderful time by the lake. Good location to a couple restaurants and Tom's Market for groceries. Highly recommend if you want to just kick back and enjoy the simple life. We'd go again.
