If you are looking for some peace and quiet, simplicity and nature you will find our Cabin on Baldy Lake the perfect spot for your vacation this year! Get away from all the craziness. Bring your binocs and watch Bald Eagles, Trumpeter Swans, ducks, geese, turtles making their nests in our sand yard in the spring, and lots of other animals you might get a look at! Moose tracks have been spotted in the area too!
Our cozy little cabin on 10 acres, provides rustic simplicity , fishing, canoeing and the tranquil charm of life in the north woods of the Hiawatha National Forest. Our cabin is ON the water, isolated away from the hustle and bustle of the highway (but only 2 miles away). There are only a few cabins on this lake and we have the most private spot! If you like camping and being on your own lake, but don't like sleeping on the ground, our cabin on Baldy Lake will give you the comfort of beds and convenience of gas lights without sacrificing some of the camping feel. Although this is rustic, the cottage is beautifully done in tongue and groove aspen and decorated with wildlife decor. We are not without the very basic amenities including a composting toilet and battery operated shower. This is a regular shower stall and you only need to heat water from the unique pitcher pump on the stove, mix it with cold water to your desired temperature and then it is drawn up via a battery operated pump into the shower stall. The kitchen is fully stocked including gas range and gas refrigerator. No electricity, no carpeting, so bring your slippers!
The screened in porch offers outdoor furniture for relaxing and gazing at the lake, reading, visiting and watching the wildlife while keeping the mosquitoes out! :) You might prefer to take a walk on the old two tracks that meet up with hiking trails or take your 4 wheeler for a ride. Jump in the fishing boat or canoe, and try for the elusive black crappie, bluegill, large mouth bass, small mouth bass, perch, northern pike, sunfish or rock bass. We have 4 kayaks you are welcome to use too. Lots of life jackets.
Large 8'x32' dock for fishing from, sitting and reading or playing fetch with your dog and watching them jump into the water to retrieve.
If you’re ready for more, you’re only 12 miles from Pictured Rocks and all our beautiful Munising area has to offer. Miles of hiking trails; many, many waterfalls; Pictured Rocks Boat Cruises, hand dipped ice cream, don't worry if you don't catch any fish, just go to Munising to our local fisheries and buy some fresh Lake Trout or White Fish. Even us locals sneak in there once in awhile! :)
Area Attractions:
Located in the Hiawatha National Forest, you can fish, canoe, read, nap, listen to wildlife, watch wildlife, grill your dinner, listen and dance to the radio, play a board game, on site. The area around the dock, is soft and mushy and shallow so not ideal for swimming, however, there are a few sandy spot around the lake where you can swim.

Absolutely peaceful, gorgeous view.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this place! Culturing & fun experience using the composting toilet and battery operated shower. Great fishing on Baldy Lake, too!
Really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Very peaceful and had a great time fishing. Close to all our excursions and still felt secluded. Our 2 yo son loved picking the wild blueberries and fishing from the dock.
Really a terrific place. Just a fantastic location, quite secluded. Cabin was immaculate with all the amenities, especially for something described as rustic. Great area for bonfires, nice dock and fishing boat. Things I was concerned about before the trip were non-issues. The composting toilet was actually great, shower was super easy to use (never knew I could shower thoroughly with only 3 gallons of water!). The hand pump in the kitchen for water was a little tedious but worked flawlessly. We had plenty of juice in the battery powered Wifi for hopping on the internet for texts/emails. There were a few minor things that I would point out as suggestions, while still rating this property 5*. Maybe one more outdoor trash can available. Recommend purchasing either more firewood from the owner, or buying your own somewhere nearby. The $63 in wood we bought that we thought would last the week only lasted 2 nights. And if fishing is your main thing, not the best lake for it. You'll catch plenty of rock bass and crappie, but zero pike, perch or eating fish to be found. Still fun to catch them but we bought fresh Lake Superior fish in Munising! Again, all in all a really great place and we highly recommend it.
It was a nice cozy cabin in the middle of the woods on Baldy lake. It was a good time and memorable experience.
Remote is the key word but this property delivered. If I didn't want to leave I could find so many things to do but it was also I nice get away home to come back to after long adventure days. If you want a very private get away to have the off the grid feeling this is the place. Would stay again.
Don't let the rustic features scare you away...they really are easy to deal with. Nice, clean, private, and close to Munising...great place to stay!
We had a great time staying the cottage, fishing and kayaking. The weather was very good and we enjoyed the pictures rocks national lakeshore a lot! Will definitely come back again.
This is a must stay! We booked the cabin for our Honeymoon and could not be happier with our decision! The cabin and entire experience exceeded our expectations! The cabin in nestled in the woods on a quiet semi private lake. It was my first time using a composting toilet, we have been doing a lot of research on off grid living and we were intrigued to try the toilet out. I was surprised that it has absolutely no odor, and I was expecting a bucket and saw dust, however the composting toilet is really nice, we even looked up the model and made note for the future, for when we get a cabin someday! So if the toilet is something that may discourage your stay! I would urge you to give it a try! Lisa and Tom were great hosts and were available to answer any questions we had! I definitely hope to return again! My husband and I both fell in love with the cabin!
It was our first time in the UP and this location was just amazing. It took our breath away, pretty secluded, very peaceful, we also rented a boat which added an additional entertainment. I was pregnant at the time and underestimated the bathroom situation but other than that it was a great trip. Our 5 year old also caught a lot of fish and it was very exciting for her.
