Hidden gem for sure. No frills cabin but it was a perfect home base to go explore northern Michigan. We loved the lake and the free use of paddleboards and kayaks. We also got to hear the loons call! We also appreciated the extremely affordable price when it seemed like everything else we looked at was at least 300/night. Thank you so much for offering an affordable little getaway!
The host was wonderful and so friendly, the cabin was clean, amazing lake view, close proximity to Fife Lake and the nearby wedding venue, we loved it!
My husband and I stayed in one of the cabins. Nice neighborhood, great amenities such as the kayaks. Clean beach area. Cabin was just as described. Clean and the owners are very nice! Would highly recommend.
The cabin was perfect for our stay. There was three of us and the cabin was the perfect size. Everything was very clean and we felt very comfortable and safe staying here. The hosts were super friendly.
We enjoy kayaking on the lake and the tranquility of the area.

Cabins are small but have all the amenities of a full kitchen, bath , Wi-Fi and tv. Very clean and well taken care of. Beds are very comfortable. The beach is beautiful and peaceful
This place was amazing on Fife Lake. The lake house and cabins were adorable. We enjoyed our cabin with comfortable beds, lots of space, and air conditioning. We will be back next year and already cannot wait!
Great property and location for a family/friend group vacation. Cabins are clean and well stocked. Beach area for sand and water fun, with kayaks and paddle boards available. Multiple fire pits for evening campfires. The owners are super friendly and helpful!
This was a perfect fit for our large family. The cabins were clean and equipped with whatever we needed. We loved the view of Fife Lake. The beach area was nice and private with a variety of paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy. Beautiful weather and camp fires at night!
My friend and I had an amazing time at the cabin. Nice walk to the lake, great beach area and we had a great time just floating. Each cabin has its own fire pit, which is really nice and you can get wood at the office for just $5 a bundle. Hoping to come back again this time staying in a big cabin with my family.
We loved our stay at this property! I met the owner, Jeff, on arrival - he was very friendly and welcoming. The cabin itself was clean and fully stocked with everything we could’ve asked for. It even has air conditioning, which we were grateful for because it was a little humid during our stay. We will definitely be back!
This is our first time staying at his cabin. It was absolutely perfect! It was both clean and accommodating. My kids fished all day every day, and it truly was a great experience. We will definitely come back!

About the host
Hosted by Jeff and Beckey Billlings
My wife and I are semi-retired. We enjoy meeting people and our goal is to make sure everyone has a great vacation. We are not a resort that tries to nickel and dime you. We have complimentary kayak and paddle board for our guest to use. We also offer boat rentals that are priced under market pricing. We would love to meet you and have you stay at the resort. Jeff and Beckey
Why they chose this property
My wife and I choose this property due to the beach and waterfront access. The cabins are great and the water is clean. Fife Lake was awarded the cleanest lake in Michigan. Great fishing also.
What makes this property unique
We are a short drive from the Sand Dunes, Traverse City and other popular locations. This is a peaceful resort to relax after a day of visiting many of Michigan's popular locations.
