The space
The Channel Cabin is a perfect place to take a paddle down the channel, take the ORV's for a ride, or relax by the quiet fire pit. Enjoy the sound of the native loons in the evening and cruise the endless two tracks by day. It's a short walk to the channel that connects to not one, but two lakes to explore. You'll never run out of adventures at this newly remodeled picturesque Michigan cabin. The bathroom is small but functional with hot water, shower, toilet, and a small vanity. The cabin is on a side road with other cabins nearby. everyone is kind and keeps to themselves. If you have more questions feel free to ask cheers!
Guest access
Guests are welcome to use every square inch of the 1.5 acres. There are 4 kayaks for the guests pleasure as well! no extra charge!
Other things to note:
The path to the channel is spongy due to high lake levels. bring sandals or boots :)
We have one neighbor about 100 yards away through some thin pines. The bathroom is small, but we have hot water, a vanity, shower, and of course a toilet.
The bedrooms as seen in pictures are separated by curtains. the bath has a standard door for privacy.

Girls Weekend

We really enjoyed our stay! We went out kayak fishing every day, loved using the hot tub, and just relaxed. It was really quiet and peaceful there. We did all our cooking there and the kitchen was pretty well stocked. The space was perfect for my friend and I. We would recommend this little cabin , and can’t wait to return!

Peaceful

This was a clean, peaceful place to stay. This was our “home away from home” for 3 nights. The perfect retreat after a day of hiking and riding the ORV through the trails. The landscape is pretty and full of nature with the sunset peeking through the trees as you soak in the hot tub! We really enjoyed our stay!

Not really as advertised

Definitely NOT waterfront. The area around this property is unkept, the other 'houses' are run down, and there is junk in many of the yards. This was advertised as waterfront, but there is zero water view unless you walk down a long path, part of which is walking on RR ties, to get to a channel. There are no doors on the bedrooms, only curtains that don't come close to the floor, so you don't get any privacy. The host was very responsive and the hot tub was nice.
