Cabin on beautiful Lake Huron, lakefront access views, hot tub, and game room
About this lodge
Situated in Michigan, this charming lodge for $300 per night is a great option for your next vacation. We have a hidden jewel waiting for you in Cheboygan, the McIntosh Solitude Lodge. It is a beautiful rustic log cabin overlooking Lake Huron. It's about 10 minutes east of town and right on US Hwy 23. The winding 450 ft. road that takes you to the cabin through beautiful woods affords privacy and envelops you in Nature! When you arrive, it looks like any other log cabin, but one look inside and you will be amazed at the solid-wood (knotty cedar) interior! There are 4 bedrooms and 2 baths; 2200 sq ft of beautiful lodge style living space. There is a loft bedroom containing a queen bed and ensuite bath. Two bedrooms are on the main floor, one with a full bed and the second with twin bunk beds, perfect for the kids in your party. The lower level bedroom also has a full bed. The main level incorporates a large living/dining area along with an open kitchen. The view of the lake is spectacular from here. The family/game room is on the lower level, along with a laundry room. Sliding glass doors lead to the hot tub, fire pit , outdoor dining area, and stairway to the beach. There are two beautiful porches on the cabin. The back porch looks out over an ever-changing panorama of one of the great views of the great lakes. Who goes to the McIntosh Lodge? Families for reunions, couples looking for a private getaway, friends groups. It's an out-of-the-way intimate and romantic nest to spend some quality time with their mate. Many guests come back annually to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. The common thread of all our guests is a desire for privacy, time apart from the maddening pace of life and looking for a splendid way to recharge batteries. The cabin is about 400 feet from the water, and the sound of the waves at night will lull you to sleep very quickly. The trail down to the beach is a wonderful 1-minute nature walk, the beach stretches as far as you can see in either direction. The lake is perfect for sunning, reading a book in a beach chair, rock collecting and hopping into the crystal-clear waters whenever you want! Best wishes from us both, Dale and Kirsten Additional Amenities: Privacy! ~Outdoor gas grill on front porch ~Length-of-lodge porches on the front and rear ~2 TVs with DirecTV ~Taxidermy all over the place ~Knotty cedar & pine everywhere! ~Toasty-warm gas fireplace w/ blower ~High end furnishings throughout ~Bonfire pit ~Picturesque & secluded beach ~Binoculars ~Terrific views from almost every room in the cabin ~Hot tub, Board games, puzzles, books, cards, nostalgia, etc...

We stayed for a long weekend and had a great time. Easy check in process, clean cabin, right on the lake with tons of amenities- hot tub, pool, ping pong, board games, and more. Will definitely be staying again!

We had a great Thanksgiving family getaway! The cabin is the perfect mix of things to do and a peaceful retreat! We enjoyed walks along Lake Huron and family game nights in the basement. Thanks Dale for everything. We are hoping to return sometime!

This was a great home, well kept, great cabin feel atmosphere and perfectly tucked away in the tall beautiful trees. Nearby hiking perfect 5 minute walk to Lake Huron, bird watching, hawk watching, we even got to see a massive bald eagle a few times! Very cool. This was such a tranquil, peaceful, colorful, relaxing vacation which is exactly what my husband and I love. This home is tucked away between the most vibrant bright trees that we literally got to see change before our very own eyes!! I can’t say anything bad about this home or location it was a slice of heaven. My husband and I even had a great time having some game time tournaments too! Pool, ping-pong, fooz-ball and even mac-man we felt like kids again.
Dale was a lovely host easy to get a hold of ready to answer all our questions and give any recommendations if we needed. Another wonderful trip to MI and this cabin was perfect! Can’t wait to go back next year!

We had an amazing time at the cabin. The location is beautiful, and we loved falling asleep to the sound of waves each night. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and cozy gas fire stove. The owner is super nice and responsive and even alerted us about the possibility of a northern lights viewing, which we were able to then watch from the lakeshore! We hope to be back.

1. MISLEADING COMMUNICATION ABOUT MUSTY ODOR. Before booking I asked if there were musty odors inside the cabin. The answer was, “the cabin is clean. Nobody has complained.” I should have picked up that he didn’t give me a straight yes or no. The bedroom and game room were unusable due to severe musty odor. With no screens in downstairs windows and no humidifier, the mildew was just trapped. Upon arrival, I texted the owner. He brought screens and a humidifier. I knew this would make little difference. I told him I would have never rented the house if I knew about the odors. He just said all houses have musty lower levels. Terrible justification! Many finished basements don’t have musty odors. ‘Luxury’ cabins don’t either! Major disappointment! My adult daughter had to sleep in the uncomfortable bunk bed because one of the rooms we paid for was unusable. Running the AC didn’t help as musty smells came out of all registers. So AC was usable also.
2. DON’T GO IN THE HOT TUB! I contracted folliculitis, a bacterial skin infection from the hot tub. I highly recommend Pro Health Urgent Care. Got a quick diagnosis and antibiotics. Hot tub needs the right maintenance before it’s used by anyone.
3. LOTS OF OLD FOOD IN FRIDGE AND CABINETS. In nice rentals these items are removed, giving a clean impression and room to put your own food.
4. LAUNDRY ROOM. Something is wrong with laundry tub because you shouldn’t smell sewer gases when tub is drained. This contributed to the smell.

We enjoyed a wonderful time of family coming together, 6 adults and 2 children. We loved the location and the house.

My husband and 3 girls stayed in this beautiful cabin on the lake. Cabin is super clean even the hot tub was inviting and clean, had everything we needed plus extras. This cabin has one neighbor but with all the trees you feel like you are the only one out there. So quiet and relaxing. The beach was pretty rocky but the kids loved every minute of rock hunting and we captured some amazing photos! A million times yes! Your stay here will be 5 stars for sure!

It is easy to see these owners take pride in their property and their guests time enjoying it! Every accommodation you can think of is there! It was spacious, high end, peaceful, just amazing! Our family enjoyed this property immensely at the end of April. While it was still in the 40’s, we took advantage of the hot tub, the stairway/path to the beach, the game room, the living room, the games, and the general feeling of being at the edge of existence while being 20 minutes or less from everything someone could need in Cheboygan! If it were warmer, we could have used the fire pit, the boats (they even have life jackets of many sizes) and even just a good ole fashioned nature hike! We were able to use the binoculars to see wild life in Lake Huron from the main floor balcony as well as see a cargo ship pass by. My better half and I have been to many cabins in the area and we believe (as do our 6&14 yr old girls) this is the best place we’ve been!
Book it! I just ask that you don’t book for our next trip there!! Ha!

My husband and I spent nearly a week and it was absolutely perfect! Beautiful view, beautiful location, beautiful house...and everything was covered with snow! Perfect! We will definitely be back during the summer...the kids are going to love it!

It was just far enough to be quiet and close enough to drive to places to hangout. Liked the rustic cabin and able to relax in the hot tub with a view.

We all had a great time, the cabin was very nice and clean and you couldn't beat the view with the snow and ice on the water.

What a perfect spot! The cabin has everything you could need and/or want. The pure beauty of the scenery and peaceful environment is just what a family needs to escape the craziness norm of life. We had so much fun playing pool and sitting and relaxing in the hot tub. The trail that leads to the water was perfect too! Hope to be back!!
5.0
Amazing gem of a property for a great price. View of the lake is unparalleled. Bonfire, grill and hot tub are great amenities as are the games in the game room. There is a property to the East that is kind of close but I’m sure in the spring/fall/summer the leaves on the trees provide more privacy. The hot tub is recessed and private from view. Love the pathway down to the lake and that pets are allowed. We will definitely be back :)

This was our second time coming back to this cabin. The cabin is beautiful and cozy and the views of the lake are amazing! A perfect place for a quiet relaxing getaway!

What a wonderful relaxing time we had. It’s just what our family needed - a time to be still. The beach is very different from the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan we live on but the rocks are a beauty of their own! And the games were a huge hit with the teenagers!
5.0
We had a wonderful winter week here. Beautiful setting, loved loft bedroom where you could look at the lake, and soaking in the hot tub. Well-equiped kitchen for cooking your own meals, but easy drive to Cheboygan if you want to eat out. Highly recommend.

Dale and Kirsten have such a beautiful property. My wife and I could not have asked for a better holiday weekend getaway tucked away on the shore of Lake Huron. Highly recommend this vrbo!

This was absolutely the perfect family vacation. The cabin is extremely clean, spacious, and cozy, and comes with all the needed amenities and then some. The view of the beautiful birch trees and Lake Huron is absolutely stunning. There’s only one other rental property nearby so it’s very private. It’s a great place to go and just get out of the normal routine and relax and unwind with family or even by yourself. My husband and kids and I had so much fun just hanging around, walking down to the lake (despite the freezing cold temperatures), playing pool and cooking together. It was snowing and freezing out during our stay so the gas-operated wood burning stove helped keep us warm and created a really nice and cozy atmosphere. The host, Dale, is always available if needed. Be sure to bring enough food for your stay as the nearest store is about 10 miles away. We cannot wait to come back to this beautiful cabin!

Amazing time at a private getaway! The perfect location to unwind and escape the busy city life. The owners are very hospitable and are easy to communicate with if there are any concerns. Nothing negative to say about our stay here. We will definitely be back in the future!

Excellent cabin and location, clean and inviting. I would like to selfishly give a negative rating so as to make sure we could always get the dates we want for our stays, but alas I cannot. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this rental, you will not be disappointed.

A perfect location for a quiet getaway in the winter. Amazing views of Lake Huron. A very nice log cabin/lodge with plenty of room for the family. The hot tub and pool/ping pong table were great amenities for the teen kids. Host was very helpful and communicative with our stay. Really made us feel welcome. Hope to stay again

If you are looking for a log cabin that is easy to get to but still feels "remote" than consider Dale's cabin. Very comfortable and packed full of amenities (e.g. fire pit, hot tub, pool table, etc.) this would be a great place to stay as a family or a group of adults just wanting to relax.
5.0
Perfect cabin in the woods, exactly what we we’re looking for. Secluded, Plenty of space, And very cozy. The hot tub was awesome to relax and watch the snow fall. Dale the host was very helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back. Thank you dale!

The house was lovely. The property and trails were great for walking. We loved the beautiful water, views and rock hunting. The waves at night sounded like the ocean. It was so relaxing. We did wish it was farther off the road due to hearing traffic go by but that was only a small inconvenience in comparison to all the other wonderful amenities!! This home is also close to another home on the next lot but they had left for the season so it was quiet. Enjoyed the freighters going by on the lake as well. Our hosts helped us with a few minor requests and we appreciated their attentiveness. It was a great vacation!

My wife and I (and our dog) thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and wished we could have stayed longer! The sound of the waves was so relaxing, the place was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. We will be back!

The cabin is very beautiful and peaceful. The view is unmatched! All the windows facing the lake were breathtaking. The cozy cabin had everything you needed and more. A nice hot tub and fire pit. The loft area was perfect with a full bath. Just loved everything!! Nothing negative to say. We definitely want to stay here again. Thank you for a fantastic experience and memories!

This location is very lovely, with a very welcoming atmosphere that feels rather like walking into a cozy backwoods lodge owned by a friend of a friend, with its sense of hospitable comforts and charming taxidermy decorations. The amenities are great for group setting entertainments, with a collection of board games (though we brought our own), a pool table, and even a functioning two-player arcade machine.
The walk down to the shore from the cabin was short yet lovely, though individuals with mobility issues might want to take their time on the old stairs. Perfect for fall, with superb views of the foliage not only around the property but from the large lake-facing window, where the trees descend down to frame a very lovely vista of the horizon. The bedroom arrangements sprawl across the cabin itself, and those who enjoy certain degrees of climate control might want to be strategic about which room they take up (the basement is the coolest, and the loft is the warmest).
5.0
Totally awesome location and views with steps and a path to lake Huron. Loved the charm and amenities of the cabin. The kitchen is well stocked, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, a game room and washer/dryer on site. Also loved the gas stove, it really heats up the place and is awesome to sit by and take in a good book, beverage, etc
The outdoor balconies and fire pit area are awesome. As is of the course the outdoor hot tub. That was one of my favorite parts for the Chilly October evenings.
The cabin is about 10 or so miles outside of Cheboygan. Very easy day trips to local hiking, biking or ATV trails. We of course explorered Cheboygan and did day trips to Indian River (two breweries to check out) and Mackinac City and even explored Mackinac Island. This is the perfect spot if you are looking to explorer that area of the state.
A couple of things to note. WiFi is not the fastest but it is there. No fault of the owners, I mean, you are the woods after all. ATT cell service worked fine for us. The beach is very rocky. If you are planning on going into the water, wear some water shoes, you will need them. And the mattress where in great shape just a little stiff for our liking. But hey, that's a personal preference.
I can't wait to get back to the McIntosh Cabin during the summer months.
Thanks you Dale for letting us enjoy your wonderful cabin.

My husband and I spend our 1 year wedding anniversary here and it was absolutely fantastic! The cabin itself was beautiful and the view of Lake Huron was breathtaking. Since this home has direct access to Huron we spent a lot of time sitting on the bench they provide right on the beach. It was amazing! This home is also very close to Mackinac City so we were easily able to make a day trip over to the island. We had a fantastic stay and the hosts were so accommodating! Thank you for such a great time!

Enjoyed our 2nd year coming back to this beautiful house with such private & peaceful surroundings. The house is well appointed and has everything you need. Hot tub is well maintained and so nice to relax in. You are just steps away to the lake, where you can search for the perfect rocks and take a swim in the crystal clear waters of Lake Huron. You’ll see Kayakers: sailboats and freighters any given day,. Downtown Cheboygan is less than 15 minutes and Mackinaw City about 40 minutes. We look forward to returning next summer.

We had an enjoyable stay for 3 weeks in July-Aug, with family and friends visiting for shorter durations. The cabin is cozy and homey, with a nice view of the lake from the cabin-width back porch. Lots of games and activities for children in the large basement area. We walked on the beach (mostly pebbles) nearly every day, and the dogs loved it. Bring water shoes if you plan to go in, or launch the canoes.
Host Dale was very helpful and attentive, even providing local fishing guidance. When a storm knocked a large tree down blocking the driveway, he personally took care of in a matter of 1/2 hour. The only minor downside we experienced was keeping the basement bedroom from getting too cold on days when the a/c was running (and that was not too many, even in July-Aug) , but the small space heater and blankets provided did the trick.

Perfect, quiet secluded property
Very beautiful and peaceful place! We enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back! Everything we could possibly need was there! The beds were very comfortable, the scenery was amazing and we appreciated both the indoor and outdoor fires. Oh and the hot tub! Dale was very responsive and good with communication. Thanks for a great time!
Also thank you to the reviewer who said to bring water shoes. Good call!

Lived Up To Its Name
The McIntosh Solitude Lodge provided our family of 5 adults, 2 teens and a Labrador a week of peace and relaxation in a gorgeous spot along the Lake Huron shore. The equally beautiful cabin was clean, roomy, and well maintained with a fun "up north" vibe. The pool table and foosball table along with the hot tub and the abundance of places to chill out with a good book or just enjoy the view of the Lake and surrounding woods made everyone happy. And there's lots to see and do in the area for outings or day trip adventures. The beach is rocky, so water shoes and floating devices would be advised. Our host, Dale, was outstanding in communication and making sure we ahd everything we needed.

Family vacation
Loved our time at the cabin! The location is great. Very peaceful, the construction is done next door. Very clean with several amenities we haven't had with other vrbos. The family really enjoyed the game room! Dale was very helpful and friendly. The view is amazing!!!

I had a good experience renting this property. Dale was helpful from how together, how to get in, places to go and things to see. When we got there and I touched base with him, he came to the house and introduced himself and even brought us some wood for a fire the first night. I think he made the weekend start off better.
