This our third year staying here, and as long as we continue to vacation in NE lower Michigan we'll keep coming back.
The cabins are very well kept up, clean, with modern appliances, and Wifi. Bathroom is roomy with more than enough hot water for our family of four.
If you look on Google maps it appears as if the Lake Cabins Resort is wedged in with houses on all sides. Strictly speaking the neighboring houses are close, but the area is quiet and the cabins are laid out spaciously and enclosed in foliage so that you never feel claustrophobic.
Fife Lake is beautiful. Firewood is always available and each cabin has a firepit. Our kids, 20 & 23, were perfectly content to watch the sunset, and then sit around the campfire.
Kayaks are available at the beach area, although it isn't a "beach" so much as it is a swim area. Parents with young children will appreciate the shallow water and sandy play area where they can easily keep an eye on their little ones.
The village of Fife Lake is far enough off the beaten track that you're not elbow to elbow with other tourists. Yet it's close enough to Traverse City that you can easily drive anywhere from Sleeping Bear to Petoskey in less than an hour.
The hosts, Jeff and Becky, are wonderful. If you have any problem at all they'll get it taken care of immediately.

Overall the cabin was good. It was a little small. It is advertised due 8 people, but it works have been very cramped. We had two adults and three children ages 8, 10,&12.The Beach area was ok and the kayaks and paddle boards could use some TLC. Other than that, it was a good experience.

This is our second time in cabin 1 and our family really loved it. Beautiful view of the lake with access to kayaking. We really enjoy the outdoor area with firepits. It is a rustic cabin with a small bathroom but the cabin is always very clean.

We loved staying here! The cabins were clean and also had extra blankets, towels, toilet paper, etc. The kitchen had the basic necessities that you would want or need for camping. The lake is perfect for your kids as it is shallow and kind of blocked off by the docks and boat hoists. The kayaks were a fun addition to use as well. The owner, Becky, was so sweet and kind! She was so helpful and wanted to make sure we had the best time ever! We highly recommend staying here! We definitely will be back!

We stayed in cabin 1 and it was perfect! The owners were so nice. Only a half hour from Traverse City. The cabin was cute and rustic. It had a fully equipped kitchen and charcoal grills outside. Perfect views of the lake and each cabin had their own firepit. We will be going back!

Family Reunion
Jeff and Beckey's property was perfect for our family reunion. We rented the house and all of the cabins and each family had their own space - it was perfect. The house and cabins have everything you need and everything was spotless! We spent lots of time swimming in the lake, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The little kids had fun playing in the beach and shallow water area. The outside area around the cabins was perfect for eating meals together, outdoor movie night, 80's night, and talking around the fire pit. We ventured into Traverse City and visited the Sleeping Bear Dunes national park. We highly recommend this property!

Great Lake fun
We rented several cabins for an extended family vacation. The cabins and property is equipped with everything one needs to enjoy their stay. It’s beautifully kept and the owners are attentive and overall great people! Having the beach, kayaks, and paddle boards assures there is no need to venture elsewhere. But if one is inclined It’s close enough to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and Traverse City. We had an amazing trip and can’t wait to book again for next summer!

Family vacation
I rented 4 cabins, #s 1, 6, 3 and 5. The beds were too soft but clean. Bathrooms in 1 and 6 were good. bathrooms in 3 and 5 are step down and smaller. AC/heat, overhead fan in 6 worked well. all appliances worked well. kayaks were fun as was the rental pantoon .Plenty of clean towels, plates etc. in 6. beautiful view of lake. The house on the lake looks good. 30 minute drive to Traverse City, and hour plus to Empire for Sand Dunes. We had a great time.

Amazing View
Amazing view and great location. We enjoyed our stay very much. I even got to dock in my 16ft fishing boat and the fishing was very good. Kids had a great time swimming and the night campfire was wonderful. Parking was a little tight but no big deal. Bathroom is a weird setup between each room with not much privacy and no vent fan. Overall nice place for small Family.

Peaceful and beautiful
Nice clean cabin... friendly service and fair pricing. Bummed we had such poor weather for the weekend and couldn't fully enjoy the nature around us but overall a good place to stay. A bit farther of a drive to TC than I expected but great views.

Nice stay at Fife Lake
We had a great time at Fife Lake. We spent 2 nights in cabin 1. The Cabin was clean and well maintained. The view from cabin 1 was great and I would recommend it because of its location. Jeff was a great host who went above and beyond to accommodate us. We used the paddle boards, and rented both the pontoon boat and ski boat. The kids swam and fished from the dock. It was a nice little get-a-way for the family.

Great place to stay! Hospitality was outstanding!
It was the perfect get away. Lots of hiking trails nearby and kayaking the Little Manistee river was beautiful. The cabin was clean and well stocked and the host, Jeff Billings, was very kind and personable. Would definitely come back and would recommend it to others!

Another great week
We absolutely love staying here. The cabins are perfect for a cozy, up north getaway and being located on the lake is amazing. Kayaks and paddle boards to use at your leisure; having the ability to leave our boat docked all week on property made those early morning fishing trips effortless. Love the property, owners and Fife lake.

Eagles at Fife lake
Awesome cabins and beach front. Great time on the lake watching eagles and loons, even a little fishing. Management made our family group feel right at home. Highly recommend staying here.

Cabin 1 was clean and the perfect size for our family of 5.
Great experience and would definitely come back. Lake Fife was quiet during the week. This was perfect for the family to use the paddle boards and kayaks without worrying about boaters. Cabin location was within driving distance to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Torch Lake and Traverse City. All about 40 minutes to an hour. The owner and his wife were super friendly.

Nice cabin getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay. It was nice to have Kayaks available to use along with life jackets. Also did some fishing from shore but not much luck. The cabin was clean and had fire pits available for use. We stayed here so we could use some UTV trails in the area and was great place to come back to in the evening to relax. Jeff was most accommodating.
