Cabin #2 - "Kitchitikipi"

This Vintage Rustic cabin, primarily designed for the camping & fishing enthusiast, is just one cabin of a 7 cabin resort. This cabin was built in the late 1920's and holds every bit of that vintage character. It may be a little rough around the edges but this authentic cabin holds the wonderful allure of days gone by. Electrical outlets would have been added a few years later and air conditioning wasn’t even thought of at that time. Those details won't matter to the outdoorsy kind coming for the camping experience where lake activity fills your day and evenings are enjoyed around the campfire. This charming cabin has a knotty pine interior and all the basics to create an Up North camping style atmosphere. A lifestyle one will appreciate becoming acquainted with.

All the cabins are lined up next to each other along the shore of a beautifully serene lake. This close proximity to other cabins have traditionally created a friendly community style atmosphere where guests mingle and create lasting friendships. This is the kind of place where your grandparents brought your parents, your parent’s brought you, and you are now bringing your children to create beautiful memories while spending a nostalgic vacation in a familiar old cabin.

This one room cabin is 202 sq ft and sleeps 2 people in the queen size bed which adjoins the kitchen and dinette. The bathroom is simple, the shower is warm and the kitchen has everything to cover your basic needs. The spacious 10’x7' enclosed porch overlooks the water. A perfect area to enjoy a quiet evening watching the loons. The cabin has 1 electrical outlet near the bed and other electrical outlets minimally located throughout the cabin.

Whether you are looking for a home base to camp at the lake or a base camp while you explore the area’s attractions, you will enjoy this cozy cabin and all its imperfections. More than anything, you’re gonna love the authentic charm and the carefree lifestyle that comes with camping Up North.

Pets are welcome on the property for an additional fee of $25 per night / per pet, paid at time of arrival if not otherwise paid. This includes pets of your visitors to the property.

Not disappointed
Location to the lake was amazing! Loved waking up and looking out at the lake, however it wasnt the best for swimming. It was hot when we were there so it would be nice to be able to open more windows. Really glad i brought a fan. It was really cute with a little more work it would be excellent. With that being said i believe the posting was honest, i got what i was expecting.

We had a great time.(4) Cottages for us, our (3) adult children and their children were very comfortable. The screen porches were an added bonus. All want to come back to enjoy the lake and cottages. Many things to do within a (30) mile radius.

Lakeside Get Away
Great experience. It was our 10th anniversary and we wanted a quite place to just get away. This was THAT! Close to the UP, which was what we wanted, very quiet, welcomed out dogs. It was tiny, but we expected and welcomed that. The bed was comfy, the cabin was clean, the kitchen had what we needed, the check in and check out process was simple. We even added a night without problem! Highly recommend

Amazing
The property was very clean, and everything that we could have asked for.. Ritchie was absolutely awesome.. we blew a breaker in our cabin and I called him and he was there in less than 2 minutes and had it fixed.. He was very friendly and very prompt about everything. We arrived way earlier than we anticipated and he made sure the cabin was ready for us on very short notice.. we will definitely be returning next year.. it was an absolutely great place and we had an incredible time.

Perfect and close to Mackinac City
Stayed 2 days. Feels like you are very remote but in reality it’s probably a 15 minute drive to Mackinac city which is very touristy and great access to the ferry to Mackinac Island.
