About this property

Beautiful Cabin at Aberdeen Lodge on Manitowish Chain

Enjoy the northwoods with your closest friends and family in a newly remodeled log cabin on the shores of the 4000 acre Manitowish Chain of Lakes.

Aberdeen Resort was created in 1997 with the northwoods in mind. Situated on 36 acres, the property boasts a full service northwoods restaurant and bar. You will experience privacy, seclusion and wildlife (as we have seen deer(albino), eagles, bears, otters, loons, and various other northwoods critters.

Our Cabin is situated between Alder lake and Manitowish Lake on the water. We have 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Our cabin is cozy and inviting, welcoming conversation amongst friends. Directly across the driveway is a playground situated in the shadows of towering pines. The restaurant is a short 2 minute walk from our front door. We have a firepit next to our cabin and along the beach is another. Many evenings you will find guests sitting by the campfire listening to the sounds of nature and gazing at the uncountable stars.

You can enjoy world class musky fishing as the chain is Class A muskie waters. Smallmouth bass fishing is spectacular, largemouth, northern, panfish, and walleye are all common. Personal record is 44' muskie, 23' smallmouth, and 18' walleye.

Your day can be filled going fishing, water-skiing, boating, hiking, biking, visiting one of the many lakeside restaurants. At night, relaxing at the Lodge while the kids play in the game room watching movies and playing with toys. For winter activities, we are located a couple of hundreds yards off a main snowmobile trail. Cross country skiing is out the front door and downhill skiing is 40 minutes away in the U.P. Michigan.

Our property is geared toward families, as kids will find the playground, beach, fishing off the dock, and exploring memorable and never boring. Families are often found making new friends that they see year after year.

Aberdeen Cabin 7

Nice cabin close to Manitiwish Waters. It had a well stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes and pots and pans. It could use some unbreakable child friendly cups and dishes. We enjoyed the use of the rowboats and canoes.

Arizonans in Manitowish Waters

Had a great stay. Very clean and well appointed, comfortable beds, real log cabin with rustic decor throughout, quiet and feels very isolated but easy to find and right down the road from the restaurant one direction, and boat docks the other. We rented a pontoon boat and kayaks thru the lodge which was convenient. Cooked out on the deck and made s'mores in the fire pit. Highly recommend.

Family getaway

The place was just as expected. The table was a little sticky, but we got a table class for that. The location was fantastic. Loved having a little beach nearby and other rental families to talk to. Did wish we had access to the water for our kayaks. There was a little path, but it was hard with a 10-year-old to get through. Overall will definitely be back.

Beautiful Northwood’s Cabin

What a beautiful Northwoods Cabin. It was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our vacation. We loved the quiet location, close to the water, with access to docks for fishing and mooring our boat. We will definitely be returning for another vacation!

Clean cabin

We enjoyed local attractions by the property. Cabin was nice and clean. We had 8 adults and as the property says, that is the max allowed and space wise you would not want more than that. We had one on the top bunk, which is a bit challenging to get up to depending on your age and flexibility. Loved having 2 bathrooms and the yeti is treat to look have out the window. :) We did not make it to the lodge to eat dinner, but friends did last time they were in the area and said it was very good. We would come again. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin.

Great home base in the north woods!

We enjoyed our time at Scott's cabin - great location for time exploring in Manitowish Waters. We rented a pontoon from Greer's Pier for a day, biked the trails up in Manitowish Waters, and did a canoe trip with River's Edge Outfitters. Dinner at Aberdeen Lodge was amazing. Some advice? Pack your bug spray, and I would suggest a broom or small vacuum. It is easy to track the Northwoods into your cabin :).

Great for skiing

We had a wonderful stay at the Aberdeen cabin. It had plenty of space for us and the beds were super comfortable. It's a short drive to WinMan trails which was really convenient for us. Since we were cooking all of our own food due to Covid, we found that the kitchen knives and cutting board were lacking, but that is a minor complaint for overall a great stay.

Manitowish Waters Cabin - Late August 2021

Our family stayed at this cabin the last week of August 2021 and enjoyed our stay. This cabin is set in a secluded densely wooded setting. There are great forest views from all rooms. The cabin itself is tastefully decorated, has the classic rustic Northwoods charm and most of the modern amenities you’ll need for your stay. A few things could be improved such as better lighting over the interior stairs, which has slightly irregular hewn wooden nosings (part of the rustic motif). The ceiling light in one of the bedrooms didn’t work and several of the paired casement windows had no screens in one side. The screens on the patio doors were showing heavy use and may be scheduled for replacement. The cabin doesn’t have a view of the water and is a short drive to the dock location. If that doesn’t bother you or you prefer the more secluded peaceful setting, this is a great option in this group and is priced slightly accordingly. Scott had a more than ample supply of dry firewood underneath the deck for use in the fire pit. There is an outside faucet and hose which comes in handy for washing out coolers and other gear. The gas grill on the deck is very handy. We used that several times. Overall, it is a great value for Manitowish Waters.
