Carp Lake, Michigan
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 cabin is 431 sq ft and sleeps a family of 6 utilizing 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size bed and a futon in the living room. There's a kitchen with everything to cover your basic needs, a dinning space and a simple bathroom that includes a warm shower. The spacious 13'x7' enclosed porch overlooking the lake is the perfect place to enjoy your coffee and watch the morning sunrise.
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.

We stayed for a couple of nights with our dogs and it was a perfect place for what we needed. It was right next to Lake Paradise- peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. Cabin # 1 was rustic and quaint. It has a fridge, microwave, oven, and fireplace. The property manager was responsive and nice. I would recommend this property to my family and friends.
I liked being directly on the lake
They are older cabins but cute.
The location was 10 minutes from Mackinaw. The local restaurant had an amazing breakfast and the local bar was in walking distance. Had a perfect weekend!
Easy and quick check in with a beautiful location
This is a wonderful remote spot that is quiet and relaxing.
Quiet, rustic place to stay wit easy access to Mackinaw City. Kids loved swimming in the lake. It’s not fancy, but has everything you need.
Wonderful
Great place, location and dog friendly! Very short drive to all the hot spots in the area. We had an amazing stay.
This place is a great base camp for all your adventures in the area. Beautiful sunrises over the lake to start the day. Then a great place to relax after a long day with fire by the lake. The owner Richie is always there to greet the quests.
It was perfect for a little getaway!!! Super pretty sunrise!
General store does not stock many food items, do your shopping before arriving
My mom, fiancé, and two dogs really enjoyed our stay. Owner was on site so that made it really nice to buy firewood and he could answer any question we had. The water was gorgeous. I highly recommend watching the sunrise!
This was my second stay at the property and I will be back. Excellent location and Ritchie is a great host.
