About this property

A beautiful log cabin home on Lake Huron, amazing views, hot tub, game room

We have a hidden jewel waiting for you in Cheboygan, the McIntosh Solitude Lodge. It is a beautiful rustic log cabin overlooking Lake Huron. It's about 10 minutes east of town and right on US Hwy 23. The winding 450 ft. road that takes you to the cabin through beautiful woods affords privacy and envelops you in Nature!
When you arrive, it looks like any other log cabin, but one look inside and you will be amazed at the solid-wood (knotty cedar) interior!
There are 4 bedrooms and 2 baths; 2200 sq ft of beautiful lodge style living space. There is a loft bedroom containing a queen bed and ensuite bath. Two bedrooms are on the main floor, one with a full bed and the second with twin bunk beds, perfect for the kids in your party. The lower level bedroom also has a full bed.
The main level incorporates a large living/dining area along with an open kitchen. The view of the lake is spectacular from here.
The family/game room is on the lower level, along with a laundry room. Sliding glass doors lead to the hot tub, fire pit , outdoor dining area, and stairway to the beach.
There are two beautiful porches on the cabin. The back porch looks out over an ever-changing panorama of one of the great views of the great lakes.
Who goes to the McIntosh Lodge? Families for reunions, couples looking for a private getaway, friends groups. It's an out-of-the-way intimate and romantic nest to spend some quality time with their mate. Many guests come back annually to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. The common thread of all our guests is a desire for privacy, time apart from the maddening pace of life and looking for a splendid way to recharge batteries. The cabin is about 400 feet from the water, and the sound of the waves at night will lull you to sleep very quickly. The trail down to the beach is a wonderful 1-minute nature walk, the beach stretches as far as you can see in either direction.
The lake is perfect for sunning, reading a book in a beach chair, rock collecting and hopping into the crystal-clear waters whenever you want!

Best wishes from us both,
Dale and Kirsten

Perfect Cabin on Lake Huron
The McIntosh Solitude Lodge is the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and soak in the Michigan vibes. Its location is perfect for exploring Northern Michigan, the Upper Peninsula, or Mackinac Island. Nestled in the woods, the lodge offers a stunning view of Lake Huron and is meticulously maintained. Dale, the host, was super attentive and easy to reach. The property comes well-equipped with everything you need, including extras like a hot tub and pool table. We're definitely coming back!

Great space to stay with friends
Very pleased with the cabin. My friends and I found plenty to do, between the hot tub, fusball, puzzles, and easy access to Lake Huron for strolls on the beach. Cheboygan was pleasant and had some solid restaurants too, and the state park has nice and easy trails.

Perfect anniversary getaway
This place is even better than it’s description, pictures and words don’t do it justice! The view is AMAZING, the solitude, amenities, and just everything was exactly what we were looking for for our winter anniversary stay. The host was extremely kind, thoughtful, and helpful. Everything we would possibly need and then some was provided.. we only needed to bring our own food and drinks. (Besides clothing of course) We will definitely be returning! More than once I’m sure!!

A Fall time GEM!
This was a great home, well kept, great cabin feel atmosphere and perfectly tucked away in the tall beautiful trees. Nearby hiking perfect 5 minute walk to Lake Huron, bird watching, hawk watching, we even got to see a massive bald eagle a few times! Very cool. This was such a tranquil, peaceful, colorful, relaxing vacation which is exactly what my husband and I love. This home is tucked away between the most vibrant bright trees that we literally got to see change before our very own eyes!! I can’t say anything bad about this home or location it was a slice of heaven. My husband and I even had a great time having some game time tournaments too! Pool, ping-pong, fooz-ball and even mac-man we felt like kids again. Dale was a lovely host easy to get a hold of ready to answer all our questions and give any recommendations if we needed. Another wonderful trip to MI and this cabin was perfect! Can’t wait to go back next year!

Perfect fall vacation
We had an amazing time at the cabin. The location is beautiful, and we loved falling asleep to the sound of waves each night. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and cozy gas fire stove. The owner is super nice and responsive and even alerted us about the possibility of a northern lights viewing, which we were able to then watch from the lakeshore! We hope to be back.

Not a ‘Luxury’ cabin!
1. MISLEADING COMMUNICATION ABOUT MUSTY ODOR. Before booking I asked if there were musty odors inside the cabin. The answer was, “the cabin is clean. Nobody has complained.” I should have picked up that he didn’t give me a straight yes or no. The bedroom and game room were unusable due to severe musty odor. With no screens in downstairs windows and no humidifier, the mildew was just trapped. Upon arrival, I texted the owner. He brought screens and a humidifier. I knew this would make little difference. I told him I would have never rented the house if I knew about the odors. He just said all houses have musty lower levels. Terrible justification! Many finished basements don’t have musty odors. ‘Luxury’ cabins don’t either! Major disappointment! My adult daughter had to sleep in the uncomfortable bunk bed because one of the rooms we paid for was unusable. Running the AC didn’t help as musty smells came out of all registers. So AC was usable also. 2. DON’T GO IN THE HOT TUB! I contracted folliculitis, a bacterial skin infection from the hot tub. I highly recommend Pro Health Urgent Care. Got a quick diagnosis and antibiotics. Hot tub needs the right maintenance before it’s used by anyone. 3. LOTS OF OLD FOOD IN FRIDGE AND CABINETS. In nice rentals these items are removed, giving a clean impression and room to put your own food. 4. LAUNDRY ROOM. Something is wrong with laundry tub because you shouldn’t smell sewer gases when tub is drained. This contributed to the smell.

Best family getaway!
My husband and 3 girls stayed in this beautiful cabin on the lake. Cabin is super clean even the hot tub was inviting and clean, had everything we needed plus extras. This cabin has one neighbor but with all the trees you feel like you are the only one out there. So quiet and relaxing. The beach was pretty rocky but the kids loved every minute of rock hunting and we captured some amazing photos! A million times yes! Your stay here will be 5 stars for sure!

This place is a slice of Heaven
It is easy to see these owners take pride in their property and their guests time enjoying it! Every accommodation you can think of is there! It was spacious, high end, peaceful, just amazing! Our family enjoyed this property immensely at the end of April. While it was still in the 40’s, we took advantage of the hot tub, the stairway/path to the beach, the game room, the living room, the games, and the general feeling of being at the edge of existence while being 20 minutes or less from everything someone could need in Cheboygan! If it were warmer, we could have used the fire pit, the boats (they even have life jackets of many sizes) and even just a good ole fashioned nature hike! We were able to use the binoculars to see wild life in Lake Huron from the main floor balcony as well as see a cargo ship pass by. My better half and I have been to many cabins in the area and we believe (as do our 6&14 yr old girls) this is the best place we’ve been! Book it! I just ask that you don’t book for our next trip there!! Ha!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this place when we first entered the driveway. We knew this was the place we had been looking for, a quiet getaway to recharge our batteries.
If you are looking for a quiet, secluded place to get away, renew, refresh, McIntosh Solitude Lodge is it. Nestled deep in the woods our log cabin offers all the comforts of home, off the beaten path. 113 stairs lead you down the hill to our private rock strewn beach and dock. Wildlife is abundant as deer, red fox, loons, bald eagles, and swan, call the lake and woods home.
We are an easy drive to the ferry for Mackinaw Island & a short drive for groceries or a movie in Cheboygan.
