About this property

Waterfront home on Fife Lake

Welcome to The Lake Cabins Resort! Built in the early 1940s, our resort is steeped in local history and offers a perfect blend of rustic getaway charm and modern amenities.

Please Note: The resort consists of separate rental options: The Lake House and individual log cabins. This listing is specifically for the rental of the waterfront Lake House.

Resort Amenities & Waterfront
The Beach: Enjoy 100 feet of pristine beachfront on the all-sports, 617-acre Fife Lake—voted the best inland lake in Northern Michigan. The water is shallow right off our dock, making it a comfortable spot for kids to swim.

Water Sports: Guests enjoy complimentary use of our kayaks and paddleboards. Boat rentals are also available for experienced boaters if you'd like to cruise the lake to spot local eagles and loon nests.

Seasonal Note: The beach area closes the last weekend in September, and docks are removed for the winter.

Accommodations
The Lake House: A spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home featuring full kitchens on both the upstairs and downstairs levels. Perfect for larger gatherings, accommodating up to 12 guests maximum.

The Log Cabins: Fully restored authentic log cabins featuring updated, modern kitchens and premium upgrades—ideal for couples or smaller families looking for a cozy retreat. Each individual cabin is available to rent.

The Location
Fife Lake sits right in the center of Northern Michigan’s best outdoor recreation. We are located just a short drive from Traverse City, Kalkaska, and Cadillac, with the Boardman River running to our north and the Manistee River to our south. Whether you are looking for hiking, biking, boating, or world-class fishing, you are right in the heart of it all.

Come relax, soak up some sun on our beach, and make your own memories at a historic Michigan resort!
