Tranquil Lakefront Log Cabin with Breathtaking Views.

Welcome to Beck's Cozy Cabin, a modern lakefront retreat perfect for large groups or a couple's getaway, offering space for 16+ guests to relax in comfort.

Located at 7351 Penny Lane, St. Helen, MI, 48656, our handcrafted 3,300 sqft log home invites you to unwind "north of the tension line." Enjoy breathtaking lake views and the warmth of this carefully designed cabin.

Step into the 'gathering room,' where a stunning knotty pine cathedral ceiling and a beautiful open loft with a log stairwell greet you. Cozy up on the plush, overstuffed furniture in front of the river rock fireplace, making it the perfect spot for family time or quiet reflection. The cabin features a modern, fully equipped kitchen and a dining area centered around a handcrafted log table that seats 8. For added flexibility, a card table with four additional chairs is also available.

With six comfortable sleeping areas spread across three levels and three modern bathrooms, there’s plenty of space for everyone. The bedrooms offer a range of experiences, from traditional private rooms with closets to unique loft spaces with privacy floor-to-ceiling curtains for a more open atmosphere. You’ll love the 1,100 sqft wrap-around deck, where you can soak in the lake views, rain or shine.

Whether you're enjoying a lakeside campfire, curling up by the fireplace, or watching a movie on one of the 4K televisions, there’s something for everyone. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of a canoe trip around the lake, go fishing, or simply bask in the tranquility of the surroundings.

Please note, for summer stays between Memorial Day and Labor Day, we require a minimum of seven-night bookings, with Saturday-to-Saturday stays recommended to avoid weekend traffic.

Inside and out, Beck’s Cozy Cabin is the perfect destination for a memorable getaway, no matter the season.

Relaxing retreat
Great cabin and lake. Hot tub was awesome at dusk. Kids had a great time playing outside as weather was very warm and dry. Lake levels were down but we used the canoe and small boat every day. Over all great place for a large crowd! Plenty of room inside and out!

Amazing Birthday Celebration
The house was fantastic. Perfect Up North vibe. It was clean and well cared for. The property was well maintained and were very happy about the lack of mosquitos. A perfect firepit provided many great nights. There were extra cots to help sleep more people. The pontoon was so worth the extra cost. Be careful though, lake levels were low! Overall we couldnt have asked for a better property and property owners. Very communicative and accommodating! Thanks so much! We plan on returning!

One Last Summer Hurrah!
We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at Joe and Elizabeth's cabin! My only complaint is that I wish it would've been twice as long. Mother nature didn't cooperate for a large chunk of the weekend, but when it was cool and rainy we just relaxed and had family bonding time in the cozy cabin, cooking and eating in the well-stocked kitchen, watching both the Detroit Tigers and Lions on TV, playing games, listening to music, etc. The decor is so cute and clever, and everything is exceptionally neat, clean, and organized. When the weather cooperated, we enjoyed cruising around on the pontoon, fishing, kayaking and enjoying wildlife (Loons! Bald eagles! Beavers!) Additionally we did some off-roading, walking, and jet skiing over on Clear Lake, and made trips into town for pizza and groceries ( the calories didn't count because we got in so much exercise, haha!) .Joe was so pleasant to work with always answer questions in a timely fashion. We'd highly recommend this awesome property! Thanks again! Tom and Michelle Grandma Judy Uncle Paul and Aunt Cheryl, Aunt Janice and kids!

Relaxed Environment and Great Cabin
The cabin was easy to get to and there was plenty of parking. The yard was plenty big enough for games and the addition of canoes, paddle boards, and small boat allowed for everyone to enjoy lake. The area was very quiet and the lake was never crowded. The Fishing in the lake was great and caught about 40 Bass, 3 Pike, 2 Crappie, and 2 big Sunfish. The fish are active and get very little fishing pressure. Since the lake was super weedy and shallow (not over 4 feet) the fish have plenty of places to hide and attack bait. The lake bottom is silt/weeds so swimming was not ideal. We went to Higgins Lake with our large boat and it is busy but gorgeous. Be careful there around the Island since it drops to 1 foot with rocks and will destroy your prop! We ended up on location most of the time and did a lot of fishing. It really is a solid fishing lake despite my original concern with lack of depth. The cabin was decorated wonderfully. Just tons of great cool items and there was plenty of room for 12 quests. It is a great property and the cabin was a high quality build and everything was super clean. If you want to relax and not be on a busy lake and watch Eagles grab fish out of the Lake this is your place. Great views and we also loved the upper deck overlooking the lake.

Spacious, quiet cabin on beautiful lake
This “lakefront log cabin” was a charming and comfortable retreat. We stayed with our son and his wife and 4 children, including rambunctious boys and a teenager, and we all enjoyed it. There was enough room that we could have quiet time upstairs while the boys played downstairs. And there were enough beds for all of us with some left over! The dock area wasn’t great for swimming, but we rented the pontoon, and the kids spent hours jumping into the lake and swimming from that. We also brought our 2 dogs and were glad there was a roomy fenced dog run they could safely “do their business” in without us having to walk them on a leash until they were ready. Sitting on the wraparound deck listening to the eerie sound of the loons was most relaxing for us slower folks, and lots of outdoor games and nice areas to play them in was great for the more active ones. We highly recommend it!

Log Cabin on Lake
The large log cabin home is located on a small lake southeast of Houghton Lake. It's in an area of nice homes located along the west side of East Twin Lake. The road is paved where the homes are, but are gravel getting to the area. We enjoyed watching the sunrises from the main deck and liked the Michigan shaped adirondack chairs. The home has a large open living room with fireplace, a well stocked kitchen, bathrooms on all three levels, and ample sleeping accommodations, many with views of the lake. There is a private bedroom on the main floor and in the upper loft area. The other beds are located in the loft area and in the lower level and are semi-private. The beds we slept in were comfortable. The main level opens to the driveway/street side of the home and the lower level opens to the fire pit and lake side of the home. The grounds are well kept and there is plenty of firewood for the fireplace and firepit. The water along the shoreline was full of vegetation, perhaps just the time of year. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great cabin!
We loved the cabin and the “up north” decor. Unfortunately our weather wasn’t great, but we made the best of it. When the sun finally came out we went to nearby Higgins lake. The beach at the cabin is not really that great for swimming, kids love to swim. Our golfers loved the area and played the nearby Dreams and Nightmare courses. We may return for a fall or winter trip.

Perfect Family Vacation Place
Viewed this home on VRBO and booked our family vacation right away. The owners communicated with me from the very beginning, all the way through the end of our stay. Their home is just as described and we had a wonderful time! Rented their pontoon boat for a couple of days, took out their canoe and paddle boat several times, as well. The lake access isn’t ideal for swimming because of the shallow depth and lily pads but we were able to swim from the pontoon in deeper water. The house inside is beautiful and so roomy. We had dinner several times on the outside deck and loved sitting at the fire pit near the water. We had a baby with us and he slept very well here. A few people went out on an ATV excursion and had a blast! You will not regret staying at this home and we all look forward to doing it again!

Penny Lane Cabin
This was the second time we were lucky enough to stay at this cabin. The vaulted ceilings, log cabin ambience, and stone fireplace provided a comfortable gathering place for our group of eight adults. Even though the October weather turned cold and rainy the large windows and ample deck space provided plenty of space for our group to interact without feeling cramped. We enjoyed family style dinners and breakfast meals at the large table. The scenery is beautiful and we took walks on the nearby trails. The owner was extra responsive to our questions. He was easy to work with and I found his business attitude and personal integrety refreshing.
