Two story lakefront log cabin (1800+ square feet) with all the modern amenities. Cabin sits on a large grassy lot that goes up to the water, with hard packed sand bottom perfect for swimming, wading, boating, fishing. Fire pit at the lakefront. Boat rentals available from local marinas or bring your own boat and launch from nearby public launch. Boat right up to owners dock and moor your boat there. Excellent fishing (bass, walleye, pike). Pickerel Lake is by far the most quiet of the Inland Waterway. Great waterskiing, wake boarding, and all boating activities. Incredible sunsets.
The Inland Waterway will connect you by boat to Crooked Lake, Burt Lake, Mullet Lake and Lake Michigan (and Mackinaw Island). The Mackinaw Bridge and Mackinaw Island are just 30 minutes by car and Traverse City (Cherry Capital of the World and shopping) is just 1 1/2 hours away. Thunder Falls water park is located in Mackinaw City.
Downtown Petoskey, as well as nearby Charlevoix and Harbor Springs have many activities year round to enjoy as well as excellent shopping!
The cabin has 3 bedrooms downstairs, 2 bedrooms have queen size log beds, one bedroom has a full size log bed. Washer and dryer on first floor. The loft has 2 queen size log beds. All linens are new and very cozy. One bathroom downstairs with shower and one full bathroom upstairs with tub and shower. The large living room has original field stone wood burning fireplace, very cozy, with attached screened-in porch. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen and a gas grill on the patio. A party store is within walking distance for all general food supplies, as well as, fishing license, bait, videos, pizza and other carryout foods.
This cabin was built in 1935 and the owners take pride in updating and adding something new every year to this unique cabin.

Very nice place, but older log cabins tend to be a bit dark inside even on sunny days. Kitchen very well appointed, and beds were comfortable. Lake view and amenities were great with chairs, canoe, paddle boat. Host was very hospitable and helpful. Very comprehensive instructions on usage and tips about the area.
This cabin on Pickerel Lake is what Up North is all about! We comfortably fit two families (of 5 and 4), and one grandparent for a week :) Nestled in the woods on the south side of Pickerel Lake, this cabin is a great retreat for your up north stay. We LOVED the lawn between the cabin and the lake - our group of 5 kids played soccer, frisbee, football, and tag every day. We could sit back, watch them play, and see the lake in the background. Gorgeous! For folks looking for a fully updated and fancy place - this isn't for you. This cabin has old cabin vibes, which I appreciate and find charming. It has all you need and could want - cooking utensils, washer/dryer, board games etc. - and is close to Petoskey for quick trips to the grocery store or to stroll the streets. I highly recommend this cabin!
nice vacation, but wife and kids got swimmers itch pretty bad. shower after going in the water.
We had a lovely time. The cottage was great. We were able to dock our two boats with ease. The property owner was great and very responsive.

The Pickeral Lake cottage was amazing! We had 9 adults and a toddler and there was plenty of space for all. Best features: -Firepit next to the lake -Shallow water with a soft sandy bottom -Huge lawn for yard games -Centrally located and short drive for activities -Plenty of amenities provided (towels, full kitchen, games, books, dvds, chairs) Our family loved doing the following: -Renting a pontoon boat and touring the lakes -Fire and s’mores every night -Star program at the Headlands dark sky park -Day at the beach / collecting Petoskey and Charlevoix stones -Family meals and games at night -Napping in the cozy beds and hammock (we brought one) Owners were great to work with. Answered all questions timely and were very friendly and flexible. We plan to come again next year and will enjoy our memories until then!
We had a great time at this adorable, rustic log cabin. The outside area is fantastic for families and small children. The water is very shallow surrounding the dock and we caught a lot of fish! The owner was very nice to work with and easy to communicate with. He offered lots of information about area and things to do. We ended up putting our boat in on Burt lake. We had a great week:-)
