Awesome Little Cabin

This cabin was great for what we were looking for. Great price, all the amenities you could need plus some and a great location that allows you to get around to the best of what the UP has to offer within a fairly short time. I highly recommend this property if you are looking for an affordable place to stay while adventuring about.

Josh, thank you for appreciating Indian Lake Cabin #1 as much as we do. This old-school (1940s) cabin is an ideal get-away for the small family or couple who used to like to camp, or wants a more rustic experience, and it does give you proximity to the wonders of the U.P. We hope to see you back again.

I’m glad the cabin was a decent fit for the three of you. This is an older cabin, priced accordingly, and I do wish I had a bit more detail about which areas stood out as needing work. Feedback like that is always very helpful. In the future, you’re welcome to call our Freshwater Vacation Rentals office before booking so we can help place you in one of our more updated cottages and ensure the space matches exactly what you’re looking for. You were wonderful guests, and we wish you all the best in your future travels. Sincerely, Cara Owner, Freshwater Vacation Rentals

We enjoyed our stay. It was a lot less work than tent camping but missed the community of a campground.

Perfect for my family of 4. We had a great 2 day stay and will hopefully be back soon. The ladder on the dock was perfect for kids to swim in the super sandy shallow water.
