About this house rental

- And as always, we never charge Host, Cleaning, Pet (up to two dogs), or Extra Guest fees!

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 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 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.

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.

----- Also we provide a starter supply of paper/soap products which should be enough for a typical 2 night stay for smaller groups of 2 - 4 people. For a complete list of "what is provided" and "things to bring", check out "Using the property” on your “My Trip” page.

- Fireplace available Thanksgiving - April 1st.

- For our winter guests we recommend bringing an all-wheel-drive vehicle or at the very least a front wheel drive with good snow tires.

- There are neighbors so no parties, or events.

We stayed for 4 nights and let me tell you we did not want to leave. We have been all over the United States and this was by far our favorite spot we have ever stayed in. Beautiful cabin, beautiful private location, with a Great Lake and pontoon boat. Would be perfect for a girls weekend retreat, guys weekend retreat or even just a get away for the family. Pretty much 20 minutes from everything you want to travel too. We hope to stay there every year. Could not have had a better trip.

Really enjoyed our stay. Property was nice and clean and matched the description. A nice place to stay for a couple of days, far from the madding crowd 🙂. Great communication with the owner and very helpful with adjustment on our stay duration.

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.
