If your perfect Northwoods day starts with coffee on a lakeside deck and ends around a crackling fire, Turtle Point Retreat in the Manitowish Waters area belongs on your shortlist. Two big standouts set this cabin apart right away: a pontoon boat available for on‑site rental and free use of kayaks, a canoe, and a rowboat—so you can spend more time on the water and less time hauling gear.

Why Cabintimers love this place

• Prime lake time: North Turtle Lake is part of the Turtle Lake chain (North Turtle, South Turtle, and Rock) with around 1,000 acres to fish and explore. The private pier with ladder, bench seating, and a sandy/pebble shoreline makes in‑and‑out swims easy.
• Room to spread out: The cabin sleeps up to 6 across 2 bedrooms plus a very large loft. There’s 1 full bath with a walk‑in shower, a high‑ceiling great room with knotty‑pine warmth, and a wood‑burning stove for that classic cabin glow.
• Season after season: Come for summer tubing and pontoon cruises; return for fall colors, winter snowmobiling and ice fishing, or spring bike rides and waterfall hopping.

Waterfall day trip: Cross into Michigan’s U.P. for a circuit that tags multiple falls near the Porcupine Mountains. Pack a lunch, the camera, and dry socks.
