More about the home:
Built in 1932, this historic cabin overlooking Lake Michigan was previously the writing space for author Paul de Kruif. Today it has been restored to preserve its original charm with thoughtful modern additions.
This property includes an outdoor firepit, private beach access and hiking trails throughout the 60 acres of surrounding woods are just a few of the features offered at this home. This home is closed seasonally from Nov 1-April 30th depending on weather.
The Primary Bedroom boasts its own private entrance to the deck, with a sliding door that can be left open at night for a cool lake breeze. Remote-controlled shades in the Primary and guest bedrooms allow you to enjoy a lakeview for most of the day and privacy in the evening. The room has a King bed, cedar closet, full bathroom with double vanity and additional closets. The washer and dryer are also in the Primary bathroom.
The first guest bedroom looks onto Lake Michigan and features its own sink/vanity and remote-controlled shades. There's also a small collection of books by Paul de Kruif for guests to enjoy. At night, you can close the blinds and cozy into a King bed that can be converted into two twin sized beds upon request.
The bunk room features 2 bottom bunks for guests. TOP BUNK NOT IN USE. Both guest rooms share a full bathroom, located just off the living room.
Wake Robin is a true treasure of a location that encourages families and groups to spend time together, enjoy each other and the surroundings while allowing everything else to melt away.
We had a wonderful family vacation! The cabin was really comfortable and with all the windows, the views were spectacular. The road to the property was quaint and the setting was peaceful and quiet with relatively easy access to the lake (especially, if one doesn't mind stairs).
Absolutely loved this place. Beautiful views, comfortable bed, great communication with the manager. Couple of minor disappointments that have nothing to do with the property but rather county rules… overall will totally recommend and will stay again
We loved our time here! The cottage was a perfect add on. We rented both houses for our family and friends while celebrating a family wedding. This place is gorgeous! The property and views are spectacular! Stephanie the property manager is wonderful to work with. We hope to return someday!
Sublime serenity in solitude, Renowned writer’s hand-hewned (1932) cabin atop a high dune bluff on “the third coast” overlooking Lake Michigan. Beyond Heaven.
The location is beautiful and most important we felt safe. There is no air conditioning so all the windows had to be open to allow for the cool breeze but we were not worried. The owners made us feel welcome with the little details they provided. Whenever we messaged them with a question they promptly replied.
Every time we stay here , we don’t want to leave. Besides the breathtaking views of Lake Michigan , the surrounding woods and trails, the coziness of the cabin, there is the cleanliness and personal touches always left for us by our host. Hopefully, we’ll be able to come every year.
We stayed in the Cabin and felt we stayed in the best spot on all of Lake Michigan. It truly is exactly what I envisioned. The views are amazing. We'd sit in bed and just stare out at the lake. We opened the windows at night to hear the waves crashing. The cabin was lovely, charming, cute and cozy. It is truly a magical spot.
We re repeat guests at this place and it's always amazing. It is very well maintained and the location is one of a kind. Amazing experience!!!
This place was beautiful. We had a wonderful time with the nature trails around the house. The area of Sagatauk and Holland is also very beautiful. I highly recommend this as a fabulous getaway spot.
The Writer’s Cabin is a dream! The view of Lake Michigan is unparalleled and the cabin is updated and immaculate. It was our first time traveling as a family of four (with an infant and a toddler) and the cabin had everything we needed, including a pack n’ play, high chair, baby bathtub... even toys! Our toddler loved the play set. Don’t miss the hiking trail up to the lookout bench—breathtaking views of the lake. We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more and hope to come back!
