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 lakeview Cabin 1.

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.

Cabin 1 has two bedrooms plus two futons that convert to double beds. It is approximately 500 square feet and comfortably sleeps up to six adults or up to eight guests if some are smaller children. This cabin also offers a beautiful lake view from the living room window.

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.
