About this property
Private log cabin with view overlooking Grand Lake
This is a quaint one bedroom log cabin nestled on the edge of hardwoods. It sits on a knoll overlooking Grand Lake with its own campfire (wood available for purchase at nearby locations). Swimming is available at nearby beaches, hiking trails are close, and the Presque Isle Lighthouse and Harbor are just a few miles away to have an evening pier walk. Monthly discount available.
You will enter the property off Whiskey Point Rd and follow a beautiful meandering driveway through hardwoods. The cabin shares space with our primary residence on the property. The cabin is located on top of the knoll, with the house 75 yards further down the hill. Pine trees and a fountain are located between the cabin and our house, creating for a quiet private setting. Parking is located next to the cabin across the driveway and has a sidewalk to access it.
Our main residence is on this property, so we will be available if you have any questions, but otherwise, you will have your space all to yourself. The door will be unlocked, so you can self check-in when you arrive.
This location is a quaint area with many nearby activities. As far as restaurants, there is the Fireside Inn a half mile down the road that serves breakfast and dinner. It's nice to walk there in the evening to enjoy a lakeside meal. There is the Hideaway Bar and Grill 7 miles away; the town of Alpena is 15 miles south and the town of Rogers City is about 20 miles north. There is also the small town of Presque Isle 3 miles away that has a park, tennis court, basketball court, library, small grocery store, and a place to order pizza. On the north end of Grand Lake, there is the wonderful modern restaurant "Woody's" overlooking Grand Lake. About 6 miles away is the Presque Isle Harbor with two historic Lighthouses, an ice cream shop, charter boats to reserve for big lake fishing (recommendations available), and a harbor with a pier to walk out on. It's nice for an evening stroll to walk along the harbor docks to see the boats from all over the Midwest. As far as nearby activities, there are hiking trails for bird watching and observing rare wild flowers in the area. We will have a binder in the cabin with areas of interest for you to check out. We will also be available to help you navigate the area and answer questions on what is available to do. There is the NOAA center in Alpena on the Thunder Bay River that has a great display of boating history of the Great Lakes as well as a glass bottom boat cruise that you can take out on Lake Huron to view shipwrecks. There are also great biking trails, both in Alpena as well as Rogers City. There's lighthouses, beaches, and waterfalls to explore in the surrounding area as well. If you want to take in a day at Mackinac Island while you're here, the ferry dock is just over an hour away and offers a wonderful day excursion.

About the host
Hosted by Jen Myers
We love hiking and enjoying nature and have personally tried out many of the trails in the area as well as visited the points of interest in this area. We have lived here for the past 30 years and love this community and what it offers for beauty and adventure. One of our favorite things about all of our travels over the years is meeting all of the different people. This is what drew us to purchase this property with the rental cabin on it - we thought, "wouldn't it be fun to be host to a couple visiting our area and meet them and share all of the wonderful activities to do in our area?"
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property because we loved the secluded feeling to it and it's nice being on the protected waters of Kauffman Bay. We loved the feel of community with the local restaurants, beaches and trails in the area. It's nice that it's a short 20 minute drive in to the nearest town that has more things to do.
What makes this property unique
The windy wooded drive in to this property definitely caught my eye the first time we drove into the driveway and then when it opened into the breathtaking view of the bay and birch trees as far as the eye can see, I was sold! I love the 8 foot high Italian fountain that gives off a relaxing water sound day and night and I appreciate how close all of the walking trails and beaches are. Here's how I imagine the perfect day here: wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch overlooking the lake and then taking a stroll through the paths in the woods listening to the birds and looking for wildlife. Then, taking a kayak ride out on Kauffman Bay and try to get a peek at our local loons. Lunch could be packed and bike down to Besser Bell to enjoy a picnic on the beautiful shore of Lake Huron while you listen to the waves rush in. An afternoon hike at nearby Thompson Trail looking for rare wildflowers or a snorkel over one of our shipwrecks in the area would fill the middle of the day. Then either a dinner grilled back at the cabin capped off with an evening campfire or if you didn't feel like cooking, you could walk/drive down to The Fireside Inn and enjoy a nostalgic family style dinner in the pine log lodge followed by a cup of coffee on their deck watching the sun go down over Grand Lake.
