About this property

First on the water: The Bobcat Cabin

If being the first one on the water and the last one to fall asleep to nature sounds, this is your spot.

Here is why the Bobcat is the perfect base camp for your trip:

Unbeatable Location: This cabin holds the title for being conveniently located nearest the marina. That means less time hauling gear and more time on the lake! But don't worry about noise—it is still perfectly tucked in the woods, giving you that private hideaway feel.

The 'X-Factor' Porch: The real showstopper here is the large three-season screened-in porch. This isn't just a sitting area; it’s an experience. It comes equipped with two futons, making it the ultimate nap zone. Plus, you can actually listen to the ripples of the creek right below you. It’s like having a natural sound machine built right into your rental.

Cozy & Comfortable: Inside, you’ve got a setup that is just right for a small family or fishing group. Each bedroom features a double bed, providing comfortable sleeping space for 4 people. It’s simple, effective, and exactly what you need after a long day outdoors.

This cabin gives you the best access to the boats while keeping you connected to the soothing sounds of the forest.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Timber Bay Lodge & Houseboats

Host profile image
It’s probably an understatement to say it’s a dream come true.

Like so many families who make the trip north year after year, our story started with our kids splashing around on a lake.

We soon realized we shared the same roots - growing up on lake resorts, returning to them summer after summer. When Timber Bay became available, it sparked big conversations and even bigger dreams.

Today, we’re so lucky to carry on enduring traditions while adding a few of our own. Whether Timber Bay has been part of your story for generations or you’re just discovering it for the first time… We can’t wait to welcome you, swap stories, and make new memories together.

It’s your love for this place that inspires and fuels everything we do!
