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 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.
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.

I liked being directly on the lake. Plus having wood available for purchase right next to the cabins
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
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.
Much care taken to make sure your stay is Exactly as stated.
What a wonderful place! Cabin was super clean and simple. We loved it. The view was spectacular. The closeness of the cabins encouraged meeting your neighbors. That was a nice bonus. We'll stay again next time we're in the area.
Clean, small cabin. Very tidy! Great screened porch. Exactly as advertised. Would absolutely stay again! Thank you, Ritchie!
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.
I’d love to come back with my family occupying the adjoining cabins because they’re so intimately spaced. So serene and beautiful.
Very clean, quiet and so close to the water. Wonderful stay.
Very comfortable, cute cabin on the water. We loved staying there.
We loved our little cabin lakeside. The location was wonderful as it’s under 10 minutes to Mackinaw City! It was perfect to come home to after a busy day of island life. The lake is peaceful and the view was wonderful.
This property is as described and shown in photos. It is small, we had awesome sleep as the bed is comfortable. It is accurately described and depicted in photos and is what we expected. Outside mosquitoes are prevalent but there is screen in porch. It was quiet and we slept well for our 1 night stay.
Great place to stay
This little cabin was everything we were looking for. The communication was perfect. Location is close to anything you want up north. We had no idea that Carp Lake even existed before coming here and now we plan to come back every year. There was absolutely no cons about the cabin and a million pros. Too many to list.
