About this property

Celebrate the Holidays at the Up North Cabin Lakefront Pet Friendly Fish Hunt

Cabin sits high on a hill looking over private Lake Louise. The cabin is decorated for the hoildays including a Christmas tree. Spend your days out boating, swimming, or fishing, and your nights by the fire pit overlooking the lake. Listen to owls and loons while watching the fish swim by. Enjoy a romantic trip away from it all or bring the family to reconnect. Fiber Internet lets you work remote with a view. Game room with foosball and ping pong. Room for all with queen bed, four twin beds, and three cots. Two kayaks and two row boats provided. Ocqueoc Falls 20 min Bridge 1 hr Grand Lake 45 min Roger City 25 min

The cabin has an open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen. The large picture window and sliding glass door give great views of the lake and the trees surrounding the property. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances with a gas range. The master bedroom has a queen bed with down comforter. The smaller bedroom has a twin daybed great for curling up with a book while you take in the lake view. The entire downstairs has waterproof flooring excellent for pets and kids. The upstairs has a large loft with an oversized beanbag chair (5 ft wide) and three twin beds. The loft also has a 43 Roku TV with DVD player and board games. The unfinished basement is equipped with a mid-sized ping pong table, foosball table, two recliners, and a full-sized futon. The foosball table can be converted into 10 other games (table hockey, bowling, pool, etc.). A foldable pop-up corn hole set is also provided.

Off the front of the house is a covered porch with a large chair and chaise that overlook the lake. It's a great place to enjoy your morning coffee and listen to the owls. The front yard has a fire pit with four plastic adriondack chairs and a Weber charcoal grill. At night, enjoy the Italian lights that connect the two decks and weave through the woods.

Steps take you down to the lake and dock. The upper dock has two adriondack chairs and has a beautiful view of the bay. The lower dock is close to the water making it easy to get in and out of boats. Explore the lake using one of the provide kayaks or row boats. The lake is private so it does not have a public ramp; however, the cabin is surrounded by pubic lakes: Lost Lake (1 mile), Lake May (1.5 miles) with public beach, Lake Nettie (2 miles). You could explore a new lake each day.

Other nearby activities/day trips:
- Ocqueoc Falls is just 13 miles away. Great place to spend the day swimming in the falls.
- Grab a coffee in Roger City about 25 minutes from the cabin then drive along M23 to enjoy the Lake Huron coast. End the trip in Cheybogan with a walk along the river front or a hike at Cheybogan State Park.
- Drive M23 south to take in the coast of Grand Lake. Turn east to see the Presque Isle Lighthouse.
- Spend the day spotting Elk at the various look outs about a hour south of the cabin.
- An hour trip gets you to the Mackinaw Bridge. Explore the waterfront of Mackinaw City then take the ferry to Mackinaw Island where you can rent a bike to explore.

Cabin sits on a small bay with an island. You exit the bay through a large canal then the private lake opens up. Water is crystal clear! You can watch the blue gills, bass, and perch swim by the dock in the spring and summer. Lake is around 10 feet deep. Great swimming and boating in spring/summer. No fishing license required!

Despite the remote location, the home has high speed (fiber) wireless internet. We have spotty cell service, but you can connect to the Wi-Fi once you arrive for calls.

Plan to take all trash home with you as trash pick up is unavailable. Local drop off about 30 min west in Onaway at PAC Sanitation. They charge a small per bag fee.

Fantastic quiet get away retreat

Exactly what you see in listing, host is excellent with communication before and during the stay! Plenty of room in the cabin and it was very clean. The property and lake were so quiet. We awoke to Loons callings each day! Fishing was fun. Many bluegill of various sizes, nice size Bass - we got a 14” & 16”. Water is crystal clear. Bed was comfortable, kitchen well equipped and we have never had a host who is so generous with supplies left for guests. Campfire and charcoal grill added to our stay! We highly recommend this property and will be staying there again.
