Private Lakefront Cabin On 14 Acres With Beautiful Sunset Views!
If you're looking for a private, quiet, peaceful retreat with gorgeous sunset views on a beautiful lake, we have just the place for you! Our summer cabin and wooded property has been in our family for three generations. We have 500 feet of lakefront. You're less than 90 minutes away from wonderful recreational and relaxing destinations such as Mackinac Island, Traverse City, wine country, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, and Hartwick Pines State Park. Or, just stay around our cabin to read, sunbathe, walk, fish, or swim. TV access includes ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS. No Internet and little cell phone access can be a blessing! Nearby towns for dining, shopping and entertainment include Lewiston and Gaylord. Sorry, no hunters.
Also, for you past renters in particular, it is with regret that my sister and I plan to sell our cabin and lake property later this year. If you know of a potentially interested buyer, please let me know. Thank you!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host
Hosted by Dean Long
My parents first purchased this property from a family member in 1979. For many years, it was their retirement destination throughout the summer. With their passing, my sister and I have owned this property and cabin for the past 25 years. With our year-around homes some distance away, we don't have the opportunity to vacation here as much as we'd like to. However, several of our cousins live close by. Thus, still, we find ourselves staying there for a couple weeks or so during most summers. We love every visit!
What makes this property unique
I can honestly, objectively state that we own THE premier property on Douglas Lake! The sunsets are gorgeous. Fog often rises off the the water in the early morning. At that time, and at dusk, the water is like glass, making it perfect for kayaking or canoeing. We're often visited by chipmunks, ducks, loons, wild turkeys, herons, and an occasional bald eagle flying overhead.
