We we're impressed by the amenities and cleanliness of our cabin. We had a lovely view of Houghton lake from the cabin. Very rustic log cabin feeling you'd expect and love. Heater in the living room also kept the place cozy and extra blankets are provided. we hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor activities they offer.

Was exactly as described. Kayaks on site for use with small beach and water access. Dogs allowed so it made a quick last-minute stay perfect. Host on site to greet which was very nice. Only stayed one night but had everything we needed.

A Weekend Getaway
We decided last minute to get away for the weekend without the kids. This was a perfect little cabin for us and we took advantage of the kayaks on the lake. The owner/manager was very responsive and communicated wonderfully. We were pleased.

Cabin on the lake
Cute little cabins on the lake with dock for our boat. Cabin has everything you need - just pack clothes and food and you are all set. Property is nice and room for parking trailer. Was great to get a one night rental so close to the water. Tom is great to work with and answers questions quickly.

Excellent getaway
Everything was as advertised. Traveled with my parents and sister's family. We took up three cabins and we had the time of our lives. Fishing, shuffle board, grillouts, firepit...every day was filled with something to do. Surrounding neighbors were very friendly and we even got to meet the owner who is a peach of a guy as well. The lake is beautiful, albeit shallow, but we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything Tom!

It was alright.
I thought it was ok.very vintage. And simple but functional. Had everything we needed at the cabin. Just wondered why we paid for housekeeping when we had to strip beds take care of towels and take trash out?also walls were very thin. Could hear a pin drop when you would try to sleep. Some insulation maybe? Thankyou

À propos de l’hôte
Votre hôte
The Smolinski family fell in love with the Whitetail Family Resort as soon as we saw it. The lake is incredible, peaceful and serene especially in North Bay where it is located. We bought the resort in 2021 with the goal of having a place that would give guests a place to make memories with their family and friends and hopefully bring a smile to their faces that will last a lifetime…just like the stories we’ve heard from guests that have been coming back year after year after year for decades.
It is formerly Morris’ Northernaire Resort in the 50’s where they used to raise bear cubs right here on the resort for guests to play with. It is amazing hearing the stories from past guests that have enjoyed staying here.
