This unique two bedroom cabin is like nothing you've ever seen or stayed at before. Located in the woods at the tip of Leelanau County, it lies on the shores of beautiful Cathead Bay - a natural, pristine, sandy bay with shallow water for great swimming, kayaking, and water sports. This is the getaway location with access to an inland lake for fishing, bird watching, and hiking. Miles of uninterrupted beach makes for pleasant walks searching for Petoskey stones or enjoying the ever changing shoreline, natural dunes, and area wildlife.

This distinctive cabin sleeps 4 with two Queen Beds. It includes a fire-pit, gas-grill, and an open deck that allows for awesome sunrises, sunsets, and star-gazing. Don't let your fantastic 'Up North' experience end with summer. This area is well known for its spectacular Fall Color Tour. You can enjoy being in the center of the amazing color changes with biking, golfing, hiking and wine tasting.

The Cabin at Cathead Bay is a place to take you 'Off The Grid' and enjoy a peaceful, affordable get away.

NOTE: From June through Mid-September, the Cabin on Cathead Bay is only rented on a weekly basis from Sunday to Sunday. For reserving during this time, please indicate your Sunday to Sunday dates on your booking.

    Such a beautiful cabin and location! We super enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything you could need or want and the view of Cathead Bay was amazing. We have vacationed in Northport every year for a long time but this was our first time staying in this cabin and we just loved everything about it! Thank you for such a lovely place!

    We found this listing over a year ago and have anticipated our stay. It, and our hosts, exceeded our expectations. We look forward to returning!

    Cottage was very clean and in a lovely spot. Communication seemed difficult.

    The Cabin on Cathead Bay is a beautiful property with much to recommend it. We were looking for a relaxed setting, plenty of privacy and the feeling of being surrounded by nature, all of which we had in abundance. And what to say of the view? Simply spectacular!The kind and helpful hosts have thought of everything to make a stay at the cabin cozy and comfortable, and we felt no need to go anywhere else. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again someday soon. Thank you so much!Jeff and Barbara W.

    Beautiful beach. Rock hunting was great. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time. Lots of stairs inside and out.

    The Cabin at Cathead Bay is a wonderful oasis on Lake Michigan. The view is fabulous and the cabin is comfortable. If you're looking for a quiet retreat, this is your place!

    This truly unique cabin directly on Cathead Bay of Lake Michigan is a one of a kind vacation opportunity! This vacation home is as close to the beach as you can get without being on it. The quiet, private beach is conducive to long leisurely walks while frequently being distracted by the next pretty stone on the sand. The cabin itself is always spotless (my wife and I have stayed there several times), comfortable and well stocked with everything needed to enjoy this corner of paradise. The nice pair of binoculars were very valuable to keep tabs on the frequent wildlife sightings, sail boats as well as the occasional ship passing in the distance. All of this is greatly enhanced by large picture windows across the entire beach side of the cabin. The panoramic views of Cathead Bay and beyond are changing constantly and never get old. In short, there is nothing I would change about this amazing cabin. It has become a true happy place for us and many others who have had the great fortune to stay there!

    We've been coming here for many years because of the beauty of the location and cleanliness/convenience of the cabin. The hosts are always super easy to work with.
