Location: Naubinway, Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA (30 miles West of the Mackinac Bridge, St. Ignace, Michigan)

Accommodations:  Spacious Studio Apartment+ Other (See Description), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)

Outdoor Enthusiasts, Nature Lovers, and those Seeking Solitude...

Just 30 minutes west of St. Ignace (Mackinaw)you will turn down the winding road, and experience the quiet calm of Michigan's North Country at its finest. This gem, up one flight of stairs, is secluded, private, and spacious. Nestled in the trees on 3+ acres with over 250'+ of private beach on the sparkling North Shore of Lake Michigan.

National and State Forests to the East provide a thriving habitat for Bald Eagles, Sand Hill Cranes, and Deer which wander past your window as you take in the spectacular view of the lake. Settle in for the evening by a cozy fire and listen to the the gentle sounds of Lake Michigan lapping at the shore, but don't fall asleep until you've taken in the stars through the 6 skylights above.

Within an hours drive, you can visit lighthouses, waterfalls, and historic forts. Sault St Marie (Soo Locks), Mackinaw City (shopping, theaters, fort, and new water park), St. Ignace (gambling, shopping, and museums),Mackinac Island, Lake Superior (Whitefish Point Lighthouse, Tahquamenon Falls, one hour North) are highlights that will make your trip memorable. One of the best kept secrets is the Cut River located just minutes from our property. This natural gorge provides a wonderful hike as well as picturesque view of the lake.

Meander down the back country roads and perhaps you will catch a glimpse of Bear, Moose, Wolf, Deer, Bald Eagles, and many smaller critters. There are miles of trails to explore by foot, horseback snowmobile, or four-wheel ATV. If fishing interests you, fly-fish some of the finest steelhead and brook trout streams anywhere (we support 'catch-and-release'... or 'clean-on-the-river'...).

Just four miles to the east are two restaurants and to the west enjoy the small fishing village of Naubinway where fresh Whitefish is caught/sold daily. If you've not experienced the world famous "U.P. Pastie", stop by any of the roadside shops who advertise... You are sure to fall in love with this Northern Michigan novelty. Groceries, gas, and antique shops are readily available within a short drive.

We look forward to welcoming you to our unique experience, and trust that you will come back to visit us year after year.

We appreciate your support of our clean environment by not smoking in the apartment.

  • This was a wonderful cabin to stay at for our first anniversary. Naubinway was a great location and not far from main attractions in the UP. We appreciated Dianne's graciousness and enjoyed our conversations. She was a wonderful host. We loved the layout of the loft. It felt peaceful and private. We also liked having the access to Lake Michigan and enjoyed using the fire pit area! We have been recommeneding this cabin to our friends and family. Thanks again Dianne. You were wonderful and such a sweetheart!

  • The Cedar Loft was truly a cozy and beautiful place to relax & enjoy the beauty of the Great Lake Michigan! As soon as you turn the corner from the stairs, you know that you will have a hard time leaving this place when the time comes! Dianne is a wonderful & full-of-life person who makes you feel right at home. The loft is stocked with everything you will need & then some. The fresh flowers & freshly baked loaf of bread just put the icing on the cake for perfection! The loft is just beautiful, especially with all the skylights. We had a wonderful time here,and enjoyed the talk with Dianne at the fire pit (yes, a great fire pit right on the beach with colorful, comfortable chairs.) We will definitely be back to stay at the Cedar Loft! Thanks Dianne!!

  • We had a wonderful vacation at this loft. It is the perfect size for a small family or couple. While it is a loft, the space is smartly decorated to create three separate rooms: kitchen, living room and bedroom. The bathroom is separate. This loft has lots of room; my husband, son and I never felt crowded. The kitchen has everything you need, the furniture is comfortable including the bed. The walk to the beach couldn't be easier. NO stairs, No bluff, just a short walk with a slight incline going back. It's very private too. The beach is sandy with few rocks and several sand bars. My 5-year-old son had a blast on the beach and in the water. Chairs for the beach and around the firepit are provided. Even firewood is provided. The only things we needed to bring were beach towels and food. The owner was very accomodating. The kitchen had a fresh arrangement of garden flowers and a freshly baked loaf of bread waiting for us. The loft is in the perfect location allowing us to sight-see for part of the day and then return to play in the sun and sand the rest of the day. We look forward to our next vacation at this loft. It truely was a restful and fun vacation.

  • We stayed for a week and enjoyed every single day. The loft is close to several UP attractions(if one wants to sightsee) and just a few steps away from the beach (if you would like to simply relax). Dianne was a wonderful hostess and we are surely coming back.

  • My husband and I and our toddler had a wonderful time over Memorial Day weekend in the Bay Side studio loft. The beach was beautiful and the studio was appointed perfectly. We had every cooking tool/amenity we needed and the fireplace was great on cool evenings. Even the soap was nice! To boot, the owner left us a delicious home baked apple pie since she knew it was our anniversary.

  • We had a wonderful week at Camp Bayside. If you like being in a beautiful coach house overlooking an ever changing Great Lake, this is the place. We are a beach family, and the beach front is just gorgeous - wide open and great for walks. We enjoyed all the nearby side trips, such as Mackinaw Island and getting fresh fish in Naubinway. A perfect place for a vacation. A week was too short.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    I might add that even their teenagers had a wonderful time camping on the beach.
