Two story lakefront log cabin (1800+ square feet) with all the modern amenities. Cabin sits on a large grassy lot that goes up to the water, with hard packed sand bottom perfect for swimming, wading, boating, fishing. Fire pit at the lakefront. Boat rentals available from local marinas or bring your own boat and launch from nearby public launch. Boat right up to owners dock and moor your boat there. Excellent fishing (bass, walleye, pike). Pickerel Lake is by far the most quiet of the Inland Waterway. Great waterskiing, wake boarding, and all boating activities. Incredible sunsets.

The Inland Waterway will connect you by boat to Crooked Lake, Burt Lake, Mullet Lake and Lake Michigan (and Mackinaw Island). The Mackinaw Bridge and Mackinaw Island are just 30 minutes by car and Traverse City (Cherry Capital of the World and shopping) is just 1 1/2 hours away. Thunder Falls water park is located in Mackinaw City.

Downtown Petoskey, as well as nearby Charlevoix and Harbor Springs have many activities year round to enjoy as well as excellent shopping!

The cabin has 3 bedrooms downstairs, 2 bedrooms have queen size log beds, one bedroom has a full size log bed. Washer and dryer on first floor. The loft has 2 queen size log beds. All linens are new and very cozy. One bathroom downstairs with shower and one full bathroom upstairs with tub and shower. The large living room has original field stone wood burning fireplace, very cozy, with attached screened-in porch. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen and a gas grill on the patio. A party store is within walking distance for all general food supplies, as well as, fishing license, bait, videos, pizza and other carryout foods.

This cabin was built in 1935 and the owners take pride in updating and adding something new every year to this unique cabin.

Pickerel Lake Log Cabin

Very nice place, but older log cabins tend to be a bit dark inside even on sunny days. Kitchen very well appointed, and beds were comfortable. Lake view and amenities were great with chairs, canoe, paddle boat. Host was very hospitable and helpful. Very comprehensive instructions on usage and tips about the area.

Gorgeous Up North Cabin

This cabin on Pickerel Lake is what Up North is all about! We comfortably fit two families (of 5 and 4), and one grandparent for a week :) Nestled in the woods on the south side of Pickerel Lake, this cabin is a great retreat for your up north stay. We LOVED the lawn between the cabin and the lake - our group of 5 kids played soccer, frisbee, football, and tag every day. We could sit back, watch them play, and see the lake in the background. Gorgeous! For folks looking for a fully updated and fancy place - this isn't for you. This cabin has "old cabin" vibes, which I appreciate and find charming. It has all you need and could want - cooking utensils, washer/dryer, board games etc. - and is close to Petoskey for quick trips to the grocery store or to stroll the streets. I highly recommend this cabin!

Great Stay!

We had a lovely time. The cottage was great. We were able to dock our two boats with ease. The property owner was great and very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick

Chicago native who has enjoyed more than 30 years of Pickerel Lake vacations. Since I can't be there all the time, I enjoy sharing this special place with select families and friends. I have very limited availability, since most of my guests return year after year. The rental calendar is always up to date, so act fast if you find a week that's open for your vacation.
