Cabin #1 - Chickagami
A Native American word meaning “camp by the lake.” Chickagami is a fitting name for this 431 sq ft cabin, one of the first built in 1929 along the lakeshore of this small vintage resort currently known as Lakeside Cabins.

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 those are few and far between. 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.

The listed rate reflects the price for 4 adults or a family with children up to 6 people total. Additional adults beyond 4 will incur additional charges. This cabin has a sleeping capacity up to 6 people utilizing 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size bed and a futon in the living room. There is 1 electrical outlet next to the bed in one of the bedrooms, the other bedroom does not have an electrical outlet. Other electrical outlets are minimally located throughout the cabin. This cabin has 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.

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.

Free Parking is available for 1 vehicle per cabin. 1 boat/trailer per cabin is also free but are required to be parked in designated area elsewhere on the property.

    This was a basic cabin, just as advertised. Everything was just as expected and the views of the lake were marvelous in the morning.

    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.

    My husband and I stayed here for a night to split up our drive from Metro Detroit to the U.P. The cabin was rustic and quaint, plus it was big-dog friendly, so perfect for our needs. We didn’t get to enjoy much of the property but the water looked nice- shallow and sandy bottom near the shore. Could be a great option for a group of friends or large family with older kids as you could rent multiple cabins.

    Think of this place as staying in a camping cabin except with comfortable beds, a sink, stove and bathroom with a shower. Very rustic but comfortable camping!

    Richie was an AMAZING host. He was great with giving recommendations on things to do and if we needed anything he was only a text away. The cabin is a perfect rustic getaway that provides all the basics. The beds and futon was very comfy and the fireplace was PERFECT. The cabin is so close to the lake and it was perfect. The water is so clear. Over all it was a great getaway with my husband. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

    We had a great time and loved the view. Ritchie was a great host. He welcomed us upon arrival and was responsive when we had questions about how to work the TV. We will be back and will stay here again. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing time.

    We will be back! Clean cozy cabin. Awesome, friendly, prompt owner who texted with me ahead of time and greeted us at the door. Amazing moonrise, night sky, sunrise, and the stillest lake water I have ever seen. My 2 year old could wade out into the lake to the end of the dock with my husband’s hand and loved it! Super close to Mackinac Island ferry but definitely in a whole other world! PS - there are more electric outlets in the cabin than the description alludes to - we had no problem plugging in devices for charging and my little guy’s sound machine and night light. I will recommend this place to anyone who wants to go to the area. Would love to go back and stay for a few days or a week just to relax or as a launching point for area tourist sites.

    View is beautiful but doesn’t justify the price. Tiny place put together with duct tape and bubble gum. Everything is “economy” - toilet paper, towels (two), one dish towel, etc. Definitely not worth the money we were charged.
