The upstairs bedroom features a queen and twin bed. The main floor bedroom has a queen bed. The walkout features a queen bedroom and a loft area with a full bed and twin bunkbeds.brbrThe cottage is conveniently located 12 minutes northeast of Kalkaska and within a few miles of snowmobile, side by side and ATV trails while providing all sports lake access.

There are several different species of fish (we have yanked 18 pikes out) and depths range from 12 to 18 feet deep yet plenty deep for renters to bring in their own or rented boat for tubing, fishing or simple boat trolling cruises (there are eagle nests on the northern edge of the lake). Manistee Lake offers picturesque sunsets that cannot be missed especially from a boat view.br

Kalkaska County (in which the cottage is located) is regionally famous for lakes, fishing, hiking, boating, outdoor / nature activities, and snowmobiling. (The county is in a snow belt section of Michigan and gets a great deal of lake-effect snow.) Snowmobiling trails in the area are readily accessible from the cottage. Skiing and snowboarding are also very popular in the area. Forbush Corner is a great place for nordic cross-country skiing and is only 16.6 miles east of the cottage. Similarly, Mount Holiday provides downhill skiing and snowboarding and is only about 30 miles west of the cottage!brbrThe cottage is also only 20 minutes away from Torch Lake, which, with its famous turquoise-colored water, is widely regarded as the most beautiful and popular inland lake in all of Michigan! Torch Lake makes for a fun day trip and additional sites to see. The little town of Alden on Torch Lake is also very charming and enchanting.brbrIf bigger city activities are desired, although the cottage is in a very natural and peaceful setting, it is actually only a 45-minute drive from Traverse City. Traverse City is the tourism, entertainment, dining, and financial hub for all of northern Michigan and, in addition to lots of scenic natural beauty associated with its location on Lake Michigan, the city has a wide and wonderful array of shops, restaurants, cafes, museums, and nightlife.brbrbrTHE SPACE:brbrHuge front yard with gorgeous views.

There is also a feed to our Instagram page right at the bottom of this site. We are pretty active on social media throughout the year, so make sure to check it out!brbrOur Commitment to Our GuestsbrbrWe know that there are hundreds of places you could choose to rent for your family vacation, and that you want it to be a wonderful experience. Purchasing a family cabin has been a lifelong dream of ours, and a decision that resulted after more than two years of searching. Since we bought Quinn Cabin in late 2019, we have continued to improve the property so that it feels comfortable and homey- not just for our family, but also for yours!brbrWe promised if we were going to open the cabin to guests, we were going to do it the right way. We shopped around for some of the most comfy furniture, highly rated kayaks, soft bed and bath linens, and quality kitchenware. We hired an outstanding cleaner and have great contractor partners, so any emergency needs can be addressed immediately. Your enjoyment, safety and comfort are ALWAYS our top priorities.brbrAlways Building BetterbrbrIn order to ensure your stay is worry-free, we continue to make necessary and desirable updates. In the first year and a half we added forced air conditioning and heat with new ductwork throughout the cabin, upgraded the electrical, replaced the water heater, updated the bathroom complete with a custom tile shower and all new everything, replaced the water pump, replaced the old septic system, and gave the kitchen a complete facelift including new appliances and under-cabinet lighting. In 2025, we added new stone-coated steel roofing, replaced the gas grill, and added new outdoor furniture including a sturdy picnic table and adirondack chairs. In 2026, our focus is on curb appeal- painting the exterior of the cabin and outbuildings as well as the mailbox and planters, and giving the stairs to the lake a glow-up. We will continue to improve over the next couple years with new docks, attractive landscaping, and an upgraded patio area and fire pit down by the lake. brbrFor ChildrenbrbrWe provide two pack 'n plays*, two booster seats for the dining table, bibs, children's utensils and dishes, games and basic arts and crafts supplies. Our kids love playing by the lake- and swimming during summertime! They also love to explore the property, including our undeveloped lot directly across the street. You and your kids will likely find a variety of wildlife around the property including squirrels, chipmunks, deer, colorful insects, woodpeckers and other colorful birds, owls, raccoons, various mushrooms, toads, frogs, geese, loons, heron, crayfish, snails, bluegill, bass and trout...just to name a few. A short five minute drive away you can also take the kids to the Imagination Station at Chalker Park.brbr*Please note that we do not provide any infant or child-sized bed linens or small bath towels for babies and toddlers. Please make sure to include those in your packing list.brbrbrEnhanced CleaningbrbrWe understand that many travelers are intentionally choosing vacation rentals over hotels out of an abundance of caution since the pandemic. We adhere to Airbnb's Enhanced Cleaning Process, diligently following CDC cleaning protocols.brbrPetsbrbrHave you made it this far and wonder if your pet can come along for vacation We certainly understand how much your fur friends mean to you. Unfortunately, guest pets are not allowed. But don't worry! If you don't have a preferred kennel or close friend who cares for your pet when you're away, we've had only great experiences using the Rover app to hire pet sitters and house sitters! And, honestly, vacations are more relaxing when you don't have to see to potty breaks or other unexpected pet accidents throughout the trip.

If you are looking for a place to party and/or you anticipate being loud during your stay, we kindly ask that you book elsewhere.brbrInside, the home is filled with beautiful original artwork created by the property owner. The chalet has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and sleeps up to 10 people. (We only permit a maximum of 6 adults though.) Three of the bedrooms have queen-size beds and the largest of the 4 bedrooms is set-up with 3 twin-size beds. One of the bedrooms is on the first floor and the other 3 bedrooms are on the second floor. There is a bathroom on each floor.brbrThe cottage does not have air-conditioning, but all of the bedrooms have fans in them. The cottage has a nice cozy living room with a large flat-screen television and a wood fireplace. There is a cute kitchen which is fully stocked with a good supply of cooking and dining utensils, which are all available for guests to use. There is a small laundry area with a top load washer and dryer near the kitchen. The cottage also has a cute dining area (next to the kitchen and living room), with a dining table and seating for 6 people. The vacation home is beautifully designed around Cub Lake, with the living room, dining room, and two of the four bedrooms all having views of the lake. Two of the cottage's bedrooms open up to a lovely second floor balcony that has a wonderful view of Cub Lake.brbrThe home also has super-fast high-speed Wi-Fi from Spectrum with up to 1000 Mbps speed! There are 5 televisions in the home, with each bedroom having its own television. All of the televisions are equipped with live-streaming from Roku that includes Hulu live-streaming, Pureflix, Netflix, and Disney+. The home has its own well for water, but it does have a water softener that softens all of the water. brbrOutside, the home has a huge multi-level deck with a nice view of Cub Lake and lots of seating and space for outdoor dining. There is a GORGEOUS NEW 4-PERSON HOT TUB / SPA on the deck that has its own view of the lake and is available for use year-round. There is also a gas grill and a picnic table on the deck.brbrCub Lake is a no wake lake. Pontoon boats and small fishing boats are allowed, but other motorized boats are not. Jet skis are explicitly prohibited. This makes the lake particularly great for kayaking and paddleboarding!

Guests are also very welcome to bring their own pontoon boat and/or non-motorized watercraft and use the property's boat dock for mooring.brbrCub Lake is great for kayaking and canoeing and there are also bass, bluegill, and perch in the lake for fishing. There is also a very nice fire ring with chairs on the private beach for having bonfires and s'mores on the beach.

Do not leave any trash outside unless it is in the container by the road. Also, to avoid mess and smell, only use large, strong, black bags for trash. Please only put tied bags of trash in the container since loose trash will not be picked up by the trash company. For recycling, please take any recycling to the nearby recycling bins at the Bear Lake Township Community Center near the intersection of Bear Lake Road and M72.brbr2) GARAGE: The chalet does have a detached garage, but this is not available for guest usage.brbr3) DRIVEWAY: The end of the driveway is marked with reflective stakes. Please do not drive past the reflective stakes as the drain field for the property is located just past the stakes.brbr4) AIR CONDITIONING: Please note that the property does NOT have air conditioning.

Thus, the closet of the first floor bedroom is basically not available for use. The water softener and water heater can both make noises while they are running and this may occur during the nighttime hours, so light sleepers would probably prefer one of the upstairs bedrooms. (As an alternative, the pedestal fan in the first floor bedroom can be used as white noise to block the sounds from the water heater and water softener.)
