We're Karin and Nick, the owners of Avari's Crossing on the Whitefish Chain! This cabin is our favorite place on earth, our family-owned small business venture, our legacy to our daughters, and our passion. 💞
We are so excited to share this incredible place with you, an authentic log cabin built in 1981 and fully renovated in 2026. Our goal was to honor the magic and history of this amazing cabin and the peaceful nature that surrounds it, while updating it with all of the modern luxuries guests crave in a home away from home.
You have to experience this place to truly understand how special it is - the quiet, the wildlife, the full view of Clamshell Lake and a home that has truly stood the test of time. We can't wait to welcome you!
