The cabin is clean and cozy. We enjoyed our stay very much. A beautiful start to October. We were greeted when we got there and enjoyed our brief history of the cabins. Otter Lake was really beautiful plenty of bald eagles even seen a grey herring land by us on the dock.

Lovely little dog-friendly cabin

We enjoyed our time at this cabin very much. So many extras included in our stay including use of the rowboats or canoes/kayaks and a sauna. The cabin had everything we needed to prepare basic meals and the water pressure was the best! We definitely look forward to coming back soon!

Cabin experience

We were in the area to visit family and friends. The cabins were central to the area and allowed us to try something new. They are located in a very quite area with several cabins located adjacent. The weather was nice enough to have only the screens in the window to enjoy the weather. The host for the campground came to greet us when we arrived and made sure we knew about cabin and how to use items within the cabin. If you have the chance go and visit.

This cabin was the perfect size for a solo hiking trip. Was able to cook my own food and enjoy reading a book by the lake. Everything was clean and well maintained. Owner stopped by to introduce herself soon after I arrived. It's a great location if your are looking to hike in both the Porcupine Mountains and on the Keweenaw peninsula.

Wonderful little cabin on the lake

I really enjoyed my time at the cabin. The cabin was clean and just the right size for one or two people. Being on the lake was a real treat. There are rowboats, canoes, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards available for guests to use for free during their stay. I really enjoyed kayaking up the Otter River and learning to standup paddle board in the lake. I’d definitely stay here again and have already recommended the cabins to my family.
