About this property

Waterfront Modernized Rustic Log Cabin on Indian Lake, Manistique, MI

The perfect nearly 100-year-old waterfront log cabin, Baapi Makwa (Laughing Bear) Cabin#2 in Sunset View Resort, a small five-cabin rental community on two acres. This is a classic old time up north experience. Read all information before booking.

Things that are specific to the cabin:
We attempt to be as sustainable as possible. In effort to keep originality, we are not your typical experience. We patronize local shops, stores and small businesses for all needs from furniture to sheets and towels that vary in colors and styles. We also do not use pesticides or herbicides on the property. Cabin water is from a flowing artesian well and is the cleanest, tastiest water! We attempt to be as sustainable as possible.

Rustic in look with modern amenities, i.e. WiFi, on-demand hot water, and streaming 50-inch T.V., adult/teen/child books, and games are available. Spend the day fishing, swimming, or relaxing and the evening star gazing, bon fire or fire in the original hand built stone fireplace. A 12-foot aluminum fishing boat with oars and life jackets is on site.

Two designated parking spots are directly in front of the cabin. Trailers, haulers, etc may be unloaded at the cabin and then moved to parking near the entrance. Watercrafts are to be brought in every evening due to rapidly changing weather on a large lake. All grounds and fire pit are for community use. The gas grill is located on the cement pad. Bring your own fishing poles and beach towels-yes bath towels ARE provided! No pets. No AC. Cabin is 620 sq ft. Sleeps 8. 1 Queen (Main BRM), 1 full sofa bed (Living Rm), 4 twins (2nd BRM and sunroom). Guests may bring a boat only under 20 ft length due to lake depth/dock placement. Cabin is cleaned by local professional company after each stay. Property lines are clearly marked and are to be adhered to. The cabin electrical can not support high amperage devices ex: CPAP, Dialysis, blow dryers etc. Please understand the uniqueness of staying in a place like ours!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
