About this property

Lake Cabin Resort Cabin 4 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 two separate rental options: The Lake House and the 6 individual log cabins. This listing is specifically for the rental of Cabin 4.

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:
Cabin 4 has two bedrooms plus one futon that convert to double beds. It is approximately 350 square feet and comfortably sleeps up to four adults or up to six guests if some are smaller children.

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.

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!

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!

Amazing girls weekend

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.

Warm and welcoming

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!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Beckey Billlings

Host profile image
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.
