Be our guest at this beautiful Northern Michigan Vacation Getaway. This 2000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, lodge style home, is nestled amidst towering hardwoods, and features views through the trees, of Cedar Lake. Knotty pine, log beams, ceramic tile, and a cozy fireplace, adorn the interior. Watch the wildlife roam through the yard on your 100' of private *frontage on Cedar Lake. The home is also designed with family fun in mind, with separate areas for adults, and little ones alike.
Cedar Lake is a beautiful, peaceful No Wake fishing lake, perfect for those morning coffee kayak trips, fishing with the family, or just being plain lazy. Off the beaten path yet right in the center of one of Northern Michigan's most desired vacation destination spots. This Western Michigan Cottage is located just west of downtown Traverse City. You're only minutes from such areas as Empire, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor and Old Mission. Come and experience the best that Northern Michigan has to offer.
Cedar Lake Lodge is open all year long and offers a wide variety of activities for every season.
Home includes the use of a **free pontoon boat w/10 gal free fuel (Memorial week til early October), Floating Aqua-Play-Mat (Memorial Week thru Labor Day Week), kayaks (May 1st til Nov 1st), and row boat (April 1st til Nov 15th), dock (Mid-May til Nov 1st).
*Frontage is typical northern Michigan soft sediment (mucky) bottom, great for fishing, but definitely not sandy.
**As a FREE bonus to our guests in our summer months, we offer you the use of one of a pontoon boats. They are nothing special. They are clean and well maintained. They range in size from 18-24ft. They range in age from 20-30 years old w/2stroke motors ranging from 25 - 35 hp. While these boats may not fulfill the boating dreams of some people, they are perfect for a sunset cruise or a family fishing outing. We even supply you with 10 gallons of pre-mixed gasoline!. To get the most enjoyment from these boats it is recommended that person with a knowledge of boating and two stroke motors be involved operating them. If not we do have full instructions, and technical assistance available if necessary. See photo of typical pontoon boat.

Had a good time and wished we had been able to stay longer. Everything was great about the home and we all enjoyed our trip.
Worked out well for our family (nine of us). Clean and comfortable. Beautiful wooded lot with view of small lake. 20 minute drive to water park and traverse city.
We really enjoyed ourselves in this charming home. The owner’s instructions/descriptions were spot on so please pay attention to them. We really hope to come back when the weather is nicer so we can take advantage of the lake, boat, etc…. The driveway could be easily missed at night so it’s best to arrive durning the day for checkin.
Our family group of 7 adults decided to risk it and arrive just before the start of a 2 day blizzard which was predicted to leave up to 26 of snow. (Be sure to listen to the advice to have an AWD vehicle for the snow covered roads!)The cabin was warm and perfect for our group. We cooked and played pool, watched a dvd from their selection. We went out on one of the blizzard nights to the local bar and got pizza. The other patrons were all friendly and it was a fun night with everyone braving the storm and enjoying the night. We did bring extra blankets which the instructions suggested and we were glad we did. All of the house suggestions are important to heed. We did need them all. We slept in comfortable beds and there was a nice amount of space for us all. The massive window in the main room was beautiful for watching the dramatic weather unfolding outside!
The cottage and property were perfect for our weekend. It is very private (although someone is building on the lot next door), and there is a lot of space. We made many trips up and down the path to the lake - perfect for the dogs! We used the firepit on the dock but not the one next to the house. Pretty cool to sit on the dock around a fire and watch the stars come out. Sunrises were perfect! Every day a different sunrise over Cedar Lake. Caught a few bass off the pontoon. It was very peaceful. If you paid attention you could hear barred owls and sandhill cranes. Also saw an eagle and a pileated woodpecker. The cottage was set up perfectly for us with sleeping available on three levels. Not sure how comfy the bunk beds were, but the queen was good. The furniture in the living room isn't very comfortable. The kitchen table works well. The bathrooms and kitchen were good, and the bedrooms were great with plenty of places to put your stuff after unpacking. It had everything we needed for a great weekend.
Great property with lots of amenities. Close to town but not to close! Loved the proximity to other lakes and trails. We will be back.
Our stay was great! Cozy cabin, clear lake for swimming, loved kayaking and swimming off the pontoon. The home is situated between Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. We loved our outdoor adventures and the cabin was great for our indoor rainy days too!
This cabin was better than I anticipated. Sometimes I worry lakehouses will be gross and not taken care of, but everything here was in perfect shape and made us feel right at home. There was plenty of space for our group of 7 adults and 1 baby. We loved that they had everything we need, from life jackets, to a girdle. There was a pack-and-play already there but I didn't realize it and we brought our own. If I was to improve one thing it would be to have lawn chairs that we could bring to the beach. The hosts were very nice and had lots of instructions as well as recommendations for things to do. We can't wait to come back.
Beautiful house and property on a very quiet and calm lake. This property had everything needed for a perfect family summer vacation and we will definitely be booking this house again.
We took our kids and grandkids on a family trip, the cabin was a perfect get away. The playground, pontoon and swim mat were a huge hit and set this cabin apart. Traverse City and the Sand Dunes are nearby, but the young kids had the most fun just staying at the cabin.
We stayed for easter weekend and it was an absolutely wonderful stay. Weather was cool but the light snowflakes falling on the lake was a beautiful view from the balcony. Our pup fell in love with running back and forth down the path to the lake. And the home was incredibly cute (quote from my wife) inside and out. Finally, thank you Lizzie for the excellent communication. We can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer
