About this property

Ellis Lake Resort - Doghouse Log Cabin-Interlochen/Traverse City

We do allow up to 2 dogs in this cabin. The fee is $10/dog/night.

As you walk into the Doghouse log cabin you are welcomed into a rustic space of quiet charm and classic log cabin features. This is our smallest cabin. It has a combination living room/kitchen/bedroom and a separate bathroom with a shower and toilet (shared sink in kitchenette). This allows for comfortable sleeping, plenty of relaxation in the living area along with a small fully stocked kitchenette with all the essentials. The Doghouse will accommodate 2 adults and 2 small children, or 3 adults with the queen bed and double futon. This cabin also has a Franklin wood stove as a nice addition for those cooler nights or for just having a romantic fire. WIFI is located near the office area. 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.

Peaceful and serene

This was my first time to the area and I loved it. The Doghouse Cabin was perfect for me and my dog. The chocolate chip cookies were fantastic! We enjoyed the on site trails for morning walks. Tee is one of the most welcoming and friendly person I’ve ever met. Very easy access and proximity to Traverse City and Interlochen. We will for sure be back!
