About this property

Northern Lights Lodge on Big McKenzie

Welcome to your next Northwoods tradition on the shores of Big McKenzie Lake! This unique property includes TWO separate cabins included together in one booking, making it an ideal getaway for families, multiple couples, or groups who want to vacation together while still having their own space.
The main cabin is a spacious lakefront retreat designed for relaxation, adventure, and gathering with family and friends. Just a short distance away is a second, smaller cabin creating a perfect private, resort-like atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the property together while having additional space to spread out.

Main Cabin:
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (King, (3) Full & Single over Double Bunk)
Fully equipped kitchen, 8 person indoor table and 6 person outdoor (covered) table
Multiple living areas for gathering and relaxing
Several decks with beautiful lake views

Second Cabin:
3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom (Full & (2) Single over Double Bunks)
Full kitchen and 4 person table
Large back deck
Located close to the main cabin for easy access and a connected vacation experience

The Property:
Large private lot with plenty of outdoor space
Dog-friendly (up to 2 dogs)
Private dock access on Big McKenzie Lake
Excellent fishing, boating, and water recreation
2 Kayaks included and floaties
Shared firepit between the two cabins

Together, the two cabins provide 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, along with two full kitchens, multiple living spaces, and plenty of room for everyone to gather, relax, and enjoy the lake.

The Lake Experience:
Big McKenzie Lake is known throughout the region for its exceptional fishing, clear water, and scenic beauty. Whether you`re casting a line, cruising the lake by boat, or enjoying a refreshing swim from the dock, you`ll quickly understand why this lake is such a favorite Northwoods destination. Spend your days on the water, relax on the decks, gather around for meals, or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of your large lakefront property.

Gather, Relax, and Recharge:
The main cabin offers a welcoming layout with ample room for everyone to spread out. The large kitchen and main level living room serve as the heart of the home, making it easy to prepare meals and create memories together. The king bedroom is located on the main floor along with a bathroom, while the lower level includes two large bedrooms featuring multiple beds and another bathroom.

The second cabin adds even more flexibility to your stay. With three additional bedrooms, a full kitchen, bathroom, and large back deck, it`s perfect for additional family members, friends, older children, or anyone who appreciates having a little extra space.

Because the cabins are located close together, you get the best of both worlds: the feeling of your own private Northwoods resort with the convenience of having everyone together. Whether you`re planning a summer fishing trip, family vacation, or fall color getaway, this one-of-a-kind property gives your group room to spread out while keeping everyone connected.

Guests have access via keypad to the entire main cabin, second cabin, steps, dock, decks, and outdoor areas included with the property.

The host will be available via call, text, and messaging throughout your stay.

Beautiful remodeled home on an awesome, secluded lot. Very comfortable beds. Kitchen is stocked with everything you’ll need. The lake offers clean water and fantastic fishing. There are several eagles nests nearby. Very cool to see them throughout the trip.
