About this property
Intermediate Lake Log Cabin w/AIR. Don't miss the fall Colors!
This rustic log cabin is the perfect northern Michigan retreat for you. It is rustic, yet clean and comfortable. It has a true 'up north' feel. The cabin sits on 203 feet of secluded frontage. Most of the opposite shoreline is undeveloped. You will enjoy beautiful views of the lake during the day and on those moonlit summer nights. The loons and eagles will be an added bonus.
In addition to the beautiful frontage, there are several championship golf courses, restaurants, wineries, and quaint shops nearby. Traverse City is just 40 minutes away and Charlevoix is only 20 minutes away.
Intermediate Lake is an all sports lake. The lake is seven miles long and offers excellent fishing for smallmouth, largemouth, walleye, pike and panfish. In addition, it offers great watersport activities. It is the southern most lake in the upper chain of lakes. We are located just around the bend in the lake on the south side. It's the quietest side of the lake and offers amazing colors in the fall. Due to the layout of the lake you can always find a calm spot to fish or play on windy days.
This property has a nice stable dock, lawn furniture, picnic table, and a fire pit. A row boat is available for guest use. We have a great beach area with lots of sand for the kids. The lake bottom is sandy with no weeks. The beach offers a gradual drop off. The bottom is 5' deep at the end of the dock (72 feet out). All in all, it offers great swimming for the kids. Sorry but pets are not allowed.
Also, we have a 15' Crestliner Canadian fishing boat with a 4 stroke 25hp engine available for rent. This boat is a fishing machine with scotty rod holders, live well, casting deck and many more great options. In addition, we have kayaks available to rent. Please ask about the details and pictures if interested in either of these.
Each year we surprise our guests with new updates. We have new couches for 2024.
Wireless Internet is available.

About the host
Hosted by Todd Patterson
We purchased this property in 2004. At the time, many would have torn it down. We rebuilt it from the ground up. We bought this with the intent of using it someday. While we rent it, most everything we take in is put back into updates of some kind. We constantly get compliments on our improvements. My wife and I do all the turn over and bookings as we take huge pride in the place.
Why they chose this property
The property is in a great location. Located just north of Bellaire in northwest Michigan is huge. Charleviox, Traverse City and Petoskey are all very close.
What makes this property unique
Peaceful, tranquil and private. It's like being in some remote setting in the Upper Peninsula. Due to to lack of cottages across the lake and south there is almost NO light pollution. The stars are incredible!
