Our resort has 100 ft of beachfront along all sport, 617 acre Fife Lake, which is known for its great fishing and water sports. A short drive to Traverse City, Kalkaska and Cadillac put Fife Lake in the center of it all, with the Boardman River to the north and the Manistee River to the south.

We have restored the full log cabins with new kitchens and many upgrades that make for a great vacation spot. Fife Lake was voted best inland lake in northern Michigan in 2014.
Our pristine beach is a great place to relax and soak up some sun. You can feel comfortable with the kids swimming off our beach, as the water is shallow to the end of our dock. Boat rentals are available should you wish to tour the lake and find the eagle’s or loon’s nests.
Come visit up north and stay on the Lake!

I went up for my birthday with a small group of friends. It ended up raining the whole time but I loved hanging out inside the cabin playing board games with friends. It was absolutely amazing and cozy.

The cabin was well appointed. The beach area was clean, with several kayaks, paddle boards, chairs and umbrellas. The owners were on site and were very helpful. We had a great week!

Had a great experience. Owners are very accommodating, very relaxing location. Being able to rent boats for the lake is a great option as well. Highly recommend.

YOU SAY MY REVIEW DOESNT COMPLY WITH YOUR GUIDELINES BUT YOU DONT EXPLAIN WHY. I THEREFORE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT TO CHANGE
Our group consisted of myself, my wife, our 21 yr old son and 18 yr old daughter. We pulled in about dark. Becky greeted us as we parked, showed us to our cabin and made sure we were able to settle in without a problem.
This was typical throughout our four days there. Jeff and Becky were unobtrusive, but if you had any question or concern at all they were right there to help.
We were in cabin 6, closest to the lake on the east side. It appeared to be typical of all the cabins. It was small; cozy but not cramped. Two bedrooms, and a sizeable kitchen/dining/sitting room. We slept in one bedroom. Our daughter slept in the other. Our son took a couch.
The kitchen was well equipped: microwave, toaster, gas stove/oven. Sink with a fair amount of counter space. All the utensils and dishes you need. Normal sized refrigerator.
One bathroom, with a nice shower: strong flow and plenty of hot water. I've stayed in Holiday Inns that weren't as well kept up.
The grounds were very nice. If you look on Google maps you'll see it's not a large lot, but we never felt hemmed in. There is a large green space between the cabins and the slope down to the lake were we laid about reading, snoozing, and engaging in other heavy duty relaxing.
The water front is well set up. If you have small children, there is a strip of sand for them to play in. The water is shallow (knee deep) out quite a ways so I would feel safe letting kids splash around. The lake is very clean, and has a firm sandy bottom.
The are kayaks, a pontoon boat, and standup paddleboards available. There was no charge to use the kayaks. I assume there is a charge for the pontoon, but we didn't use it so I don't know.
Laundry, food stores, and restaurants are within a couple miles (10 miles max), and Jeff and Becky will give you recommendations for all.
You're 30-45 minutes away from Traverse City, Petoskey, Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc., so this is a nice place to stay if you want to explore the area.
Finally, it must also be said that you won't find a nicer place for the price.
If you're looking for Barothy Lodge or The Homestead this isn't the place for you. But this is the cozy unpretentious kind of summer cabin I've stayed in since I was a kid, and I loved it. If we vacation in this area again we will DEFINITELY stay here.

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!

We had a wonderful stay! The owners were very helpful and accommodating.

Felt Misled
The property was nice and so were the owners. My issue lies in the attempt to get us to pay a "security deposit " after we had driven 3 hours to get there. The laundry list of penalty payments was a bit ridiculous and I didn't feel comfortable paying twice and outside of Vrbo agreement. My second issue was the owner patrolling the grounds like a security guard. It felt really uncomfortable. Lastly, the beach was the size a postage stamp and my gf and I had kids jumping over us for the short time we actually attempted to use it. I was pretty disappointed but since it was 30 mins from Traverse City we were able to salvage a decent trip. I'm definitely rethinking the whole "rent my private place" thing though.

My family and I finally decided to take a vacation during these covid times and found this nice cabin to stay in that is quite but close to Traverse City without the high cost! The cabin was well stocked with a kitchen to make just about any meal which was nice. Great access to the lake with use of the kayaks and paddle boards. The private fire place is nice if you want to do your own thing or socialize with others at the main firepit. Would rent again for sure!

Great little cabin on a lake. Kitchen had everything you need. I loved that each cabin had their own fire pit. Using the kayaks included was great. Owners were very nice and responsive. I really loved that even though there are other families very close to you it still felt private and pretty quite.

This was a wonderful spot for our family of 5 with small kids to get away and enjoy the lake. Close enough to Traverse City and the dunes but nice enough to stay at the cabin and enjoy a quiet day on the beach. Staff were all welcoming and helpful!

What a lovely, peaceful spot on Fife Lake! We loved our cabin's dedicated seating and fire pit area under the trees and enjoyed kayaking and paddleboarding. Beckey and Jeff are great hosts, attentive and always available for questions. The Fife Lake Inn is a short walk or drive away with delicious fresh fish and a full menu.

This cabin was the perfect getaway for our “girls getaway weekend.” It was cozy & warm on a cold rainy night, and had all the essentials for our home away from home. Jeff even helped to start a fire one evening. My entire group thoroughly enjoyed our cabin so much we opted to stay in and have a movie night rather than to go out on the town dancing.

Excellent Location
Overall, this was a very positive experience. The location of Lake Cabins Resort sits over Fife Lake. Our cabin was well stocked with amenities and the kitchen had every utensil you needed to prepare your meals. It’s a very quiet town and relaxing area. The drive to Traverse City is not terribly far away if you want to explore more scenery. But Fife Lake is definitely a gem when it comes to peaceful resort for a getaway weekend up North. Highly recommend to anyone interested in looking for a few days in Northern Michigan.

Great getaway
We had an amazing time at this cabin! The location was perfect, just 25 minutes to Traverse City. Although, we spent most of our time simply enjoying the property! The kids had a blast at the beach area and using the supplied paddle boards and kayaks. The cabin was fully equipped with everything we needed inside and out. The hosts were beyond friendly and helpful. We are already planning our trip back next year!

Loved it
Wonderful place to stay. Owners seem very accommodating. Beautiful location, So much to do within driving distance of a lot of directions. It was quiet and had no issues with anyone around. The only con was the bathroom situation. It wasn’t a big deal for us but I could see how a bathroom in between two rooms with thin walls could make some people uncomfortable but if you’re like us and it isn’t a big deal then absolutely stay here, you won’t regret it.
