- "The cabin is great, close to fishing, tons of beds. Highly recommend " - "Was absolutely amazing, my entire party admired the cabin! " - "The cabin was exactly as described--clean, spacious, and comfortable. The host was very responsive both before our stay and during, which was appreciated. Cell service was spotty (not the host's fault), so just something to be aware of as there is no wifi/internet available as listed in the description. I was glad I brought a few extra fans, especially on the hotter 90F days, to help keep the dogs cool (I received approval from the host prior to bringing both dogs). Overall, I had a great time and found the place easy to locate. Would recommend"

- "This cabin is a perfect home base for up north adventures! The North Country Trail is very close for hiking and biking, and when we weren't doing that, we were relaxing at the cabin. It's beautiful inside, the beds and furniture are all very comfy and everything was nice and clean and new. We loved all the outdoor seating - the picnic table just outside the kitchen gets the morning sun, the covered porch at the front of the house gets the evening sun, and the fire pit was the perfect way to end every day. Highly recommended!"

I came across this listing and was very intrigued with the location and access points. Before we arrived, the owners were amazing with the communication. They told us all about the good fishing spots because I had told them my boys were excited to fish. When we got there the cabin was exactly like what was listed. They even put a swing up before we got there for my little one! The property was beautiful, it had a little bit of something for everyone.

- "Jordo’s place was great! My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days with our dog and 1 year old and each one of us really enjoyed our time! The cabin feels very safe and secluded. We enjoyed the little walking trails around the property and loved sitting around the fire pit. We did not check out the nearby beach because it was not dog friendly but have read wonderful things about it from other reviews. The place was also very clean and well stocked with essentials for daily living. Would love to stay again in the future!"

When 4 ppl wake up all at the same time in the middle of the night racing to the bathroom to go potty. Lol. That wasn't fun. Lol. But other than that it was a very nice stay.

REVIEWS
"We enjoyed the peacefulness of this stay at Cabin 4. The high, large, full windows all along the front of the home gave a beautiful view of soaring trees and river. The caretaker, Tim, was very helpful.. He was very friendly and told us about the property, the history of it and much more. The owner of the property was at the lodge and also was very friendly. We explored the woods in the area. It was beautiful. We didn't hear anyone else and we enjoyed this quietness to hear only nature and the river. There were cabins much further down the road; they were not visible. A group was at Cabin 2, but we didn't hear them at all. This is a special spot. Thank you for sharing it with us"

(Bring some firewood with you,, wood rack was empty)" - "We had a great time at this cabin. It was very secluded and off the beaten path. The cabin was very clean. The game room was a blast. We spent a lot of time there as a family playing games together. The river was very nice to just sit and listen to and also splash around in when the weather was hot. The firepit out front was great as well. No complaints here at all."

- "We loved staying in the yurt. It was quiet, peaceful, spotless and private." - "I hate to give a five star summary because it means more bookings and less availability. But here is the honest truth. First and foremost it is CLEAN! It is NOT the base camp for the "guys" headed up north to see how many cases of beer they can drink. It is a great location for the wife and kids, especially if the wife has a dislike for the typical "cabin" the guys are used to staying in for the weekend salmon fishing trip. There are things I would definitely change about the property but that is personal preference. The yurt is laid out nicely with little privacy but more than a hotel room. The Kitchen has everything you need with many minor details included (zip lock bags, spice rack, coffee, etc.). The bathroom is very nicely finished but is a bit of a walk away from the yurt, not too far but enough that in the rain it is an imposition. Again, very CLEAN. I did not feel that I needed dollar store flip flops in order to shower. The setting is very quiet with the exception of the neighbors rooster who lets you know that 6:30 a.m. has arrived yet again. In short it was a perfect adventure. One that the wife and our kids hope to make a yearly memory if not more frequently. So anyone reading this, please go elsewhere so you don't make it more difficult for me... LOL, but seriously"

🛏We do NOT recommend using the bunk house as a living/sleeping space when outside temperature is 60 degrees or below. It has no AC and just a small space heater for heating. The cabin itself can sleep up to 6 by using the king bed, pull-out couch, two chairs and ottoman that fold out to a bed. We want everyone to be safe and comfortable!

🛶🏖 The back of the cabin is just a few feet from the lake (open water), so if you have curious dogs or children, adult supervision is critical– safety first, always.
The lake is private for those living on it, and as a guest you are welcome to swim and fish in the lake and use the dock and boats provided at our property. Some prefer to wear water shoes while others prefer to feel the sand between their toes.
If you would like a large public beach, check out Ludington State Park Beach or Kenwood Park & Beach in Cadillac. There is also a smaller public beach just 3 miles away from the cabin at Idlewild Beach.

🐕 We love dogs! Dogs MUST be kept on a leash or tie-out anytime they are outdoors. Please pick up all pet waste promptly so as not to attract unwanted critters.

♨️ For heating and cooling the main cabin, we have a wall mini-split unit, two electric wall heaters, electric fireplace inside the stone fireplace, a radiator space heater, and a heater in the bathroom (knob on far right).
** Please note that nothing should EVER be burned inside the stone fireplace nor anywhere inside the cabin.**

🍳For your safety, please only use the stove, oven, washer, and dryer when someone is present in the home throughout entire cycle of the appliance. Do not leave unattended.

🐶🧩To help us keep our rates reasonable and not have to charge extra cleaning fees, please do lot let animals on the furniture unless a couch cover or a blanket is in place, and please keep the bunkhouse/game room organized and tidy.

🪵🔥 Firewood for the outdoor firepit is not provided, but is available for purchase in town 1 mile away. Pinecones and twigs found throughout the property are also great for burning in the firepit.

🔊 For the safety and security of our guests, we do have external security cameras that are on for audio and video.

🐻🦌This property is surrounded by all types of wildlife: deer, birds, squirrels, frogs, insects, fish, snakes, and even bears are possibly in the area. We provide regular pest prevention, but being in nature there is always a possibility you may see an occasional unwanted critter in or near the cabin.

**Please read through all instructions and rules for the hot tub before use. Please contact me if you have any questions about it.**

🍽 We highly recommend Jone's Homemade Ice Cream, Wolf Lake Snack Shack, and the Log Bar in Baldwin, and the Chase Creek Smokehouse in Chase for unique dining experiences.

☃️ For winter we temporarily remove the hammock and boats from use. This is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests during the colder months. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but rest assured, there are still plenty of cozy amenities and activities available for you to enjoy during your stay.

For larger groups, we do have another lake cabin approximately 25 min away, north of Reed City. Ask us about discounts to rent both!

We hope you have a wonderful stay filled with experiences and memories at the Lake Log Cabin! 🩵
