SWMI Lake House Rentals: two big-group stays where cabin life meets pure lake time. Now taking direct bookings through RentMichiganCabins.com.

If your crew is itching for wide-open water, bonfires, and easy access to the best of Southwest Michigan, SWMI Lake House Rentals has two standouts Cabintimers should know about. One sits on a private lake with 350 feet of shoreline plus a seasonal hot tub and optional pontoon rental. The other is set on a popular all-sports lake with sandy frontage, a shallow swim area for kids, and room for the whole family (pets welcome!)

Sweet Lake: private-lake seclusion + seasonal hot tub

This seven-bedroom, three-bath home sleeps up to 20 and spreads out along a quiet, private lake—perfect for paddles at sunrise and s’mores by the firepit after dark. You’ll find a full kitchen, Wi-Fi, A/C, and the kind of indoor/outdoor spaces that make multi-family trips smooth. At the shoreline: a dock, kayaks, and paddle boards; add a pontoon to your stay if you want lazy cruises at golden hour. The hot tub is available October through April, so winter weekends feel extra cozy.

Planning day trips? This corner of SWMI puts you within an easy drive of Lake Michigan beaches and artsy Saugatuck, with ski days at Bittersweet and Timber Ridge when the snow flies.

Saddle Lake: all-sports action for big groups (and dogs)

Bring the cousins, the cards, and the cooler—this five-bedroom, three-bath home offers over 4,000 finished square feet and sleeps up to 20. It sits on Saddle Lake, an all-sports spot loved for sandy bottom and kid-friendly, shallow swimming. Pets are allowed here, so four-legged family members can join the fun.

Saddle Lake itself spans roughly 300 acres in Van Buren County, giving your crew plenty of room for fishing, tubing, and exploring by kayak. Nearby towns like Grand Junction, Bloomingdale, and Bangor make stocking up easy, while South Haven’s lighthouse and beaches are a scenic cruise away. (Fishermap USA)

Make it a Southwest Michigan getaway, four seasons strong

  • Beach days & sunsets: South Haven’s lighthouse pier is a must for photos and evening strolls.
  • Bike and hike: The 34-mile Kal-Haven Trail State Park links South Haven to Kalamazoo under a leafy canopy—great for family rides and wildflower spotting.
  • Winter turns: Bittersweet Resort adds snowboarding and skiing to your weekend—easy to reach from either home.
Why book direct.

Why Cabintimers book direct here

Skip the middleman. When you book directly with the owner/local manager, you avoid service fees and get the inside scoop on lake toys, boat rentals, and seasonal availability (like hot-tub months). Locals know which sandbars are quiet, where the walleye are hitting, and the best blueberry donuts on Saturday mornings—that’s the stuff that turns a trip into a memory.

Ready to start planning? Check availability and connect with the owner on the SWMI Lake House Rentals listings—then pack the marshmallows and the fishing nets.

Shanty Creek to Little Traverse Bay: A Cabintimer’s Guide to Northern Michigan Cabin. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partners Since 2018!

Cabintimers, consider this your compass to the good stuff Up North. Northern Michigan Cabins brings together four-season stays placed smartly around Bellaire’s Shanty Creek/Schuss Mountain and the Harbor Springs–Petoskey corridor. Ski days. Beach days. Barrel-sauna nights. Retro-arcade showdowns with the kids. It’s all on the table—and you can book direct to skip the big-platform service fees and talk with real local hosts who know every trail and taproom.

Why this collection stands out

Northern Michigan Cabin features multiple homes with different vibes and group sizes, so your crew can pick a base that fits the plan.

Shanty Creek Treehouse (Bellaire / Schuss): A mid-century-inspired chalet high in the hardwoods. Sleeps 8+. Open living area with a cool retro fireplace. Big deck in the trees. Rec room with a pool table. Quick drive to Schuss Mountain lifts, Cedar River and The Legend golf, and indoor/outdoor pools.

A-Frame of Mind (Bellaire / Schuss): New build with classic A-frame lines. Sleeps 12. Custom game room and an outdoor Finnish barrel sauna steps from the deck. Big windows, quartz island, and a 60″ linear fireplace. Minutes to Torch Lake, Glacial Hills singletrack, and Shanty Creek golf.

Valley View Lodge (Top of Schuss): Austrian-style A-frame with a wall of windows and valley views. Sleeps 12. Stone fireplace, renovated kitchen and baths, retro arcade in the lower-level rec room. Walk to the access path for the first run or roll down to the lifts.

Mountainview Townhouse (Sudendorf at Schuss): End-unit condo that sleeps 9 with an extra loft. Overlooks the course and ski hill. Kids get a dedicated gaming station and loft bunks; adults get a red retro fireplace and balcony views. Heated Sudendorf summer pool plus access to Summit and Schuss indoor/outdoor pools.

Many homes welcome pets with approval. All include Wi-Fi, full kitchens, and easy parking. Most offer access to multiple pools and hot tubs around Shanty Creek.

Seasons to plan around

Winter: Schuss Mountain is your family-friendly launchpad. Nub’s Nob and The Highlands are a short hop from Harbor Springs. Boyne Mountain is an easy drive when you’re chasing more terrain. Fat-tire biking, XC skiing, and snowshoe trails branch in all directions.

Summer: Torch Lake shows off that electric-blue color that breaks camera apps. Lake Bellaire and Little Traverse Bay call for paddleboards, pontoons, and beach time. Golfers can bag rounds at Cedar River, The Legend, Schuss Mountain Course, Summit, plus Bay Harbor and Chestnut Valley near the bay.

Fall: Color tours on M-119 (Tunnel of Trees) and along Jordan River Road. Hike Glacial Hills or drive winery-to-winery around Petoskey and Harbor Springs.

Spring: Quiet trails, steelhead runs on the Jordan and Boardman, bike-tune season, and first patios of the year.

Eat, sip, and roam like a local

  • Bellaire: Short’s Brewing for flagship pints and pizza; Toonie’s for a post-hike plate; stroll to Lake Bellaire at golden hour.
  • Harbor Springs & Petoskey: Morning coffee downtown, beach time at Zoll Street or Petoskey State Park, then dinner along the waterfront. Check local wineries and Happy Days & Nights near Ironwood Lodge.
  • Torch Lake & Chain of Lakes: Boat days, sandbar meets, and sunset cruises.
  • Trails worth your legs: Glacial Hills (flowy singletrack), Boyne Highlands MTB, and miles of XC and snowshoe paths right from Shanty Creek neighborhoods.

Smart booking for Cabintimers

Skip third-party markups. Book direct with the owners/managers at Northern Michigan Cabin for transparent pricing, quick answers, and local recommendations tailored to your itinerary. You’ll get insider lists for swimming holes, trailheads, patios, and rainy-day backups—handy when the lake breeze shifts.

Silver Lake Home in Traverse City: Lakefront living for Cabintimers who love kayaks, campfires, and pure Michigan water. A RentMichiganCabins.com listing partner since 2017.
by

Silver Lake Home in Traverse City: Lakefront living for Cabintimers who love kayaks, campfires, and pure Michigan water. A RentMichiganCabins.com listing partner since 2017.

Silver Lake Home does that magic trick where time slows down and your shoulders finally drop. This four-bedroom, two-bath waterfront home near Traverse City puts you right on a spring-fed, 600-acre lake that’s famously clear and deep—perfect for early-morning paddles and golden-hour swims. With space for up to 12, it’s set up for multi-family trips, cousins’ camp, or your crew’s annual up-north tradition.

Inside, the kitchen brings the goods for real cooking—granite counters, dishwasher, microwave, and the rare double-fridge setup that keeps local cherries cold and the brats ready for grill duty. A walkout lower level flows to the stone patio where the gas grill and built-in fire pit face the water, so nobody has to choose between tending dinner and catching that cotton-candy sunset. The living spaces are clean and well cared for, with a big screen for movie nights after the embers fade.

Bedrooms are arranged to make group logistics easy: two queen bedrooms, a third with two queens, and a fourth with double-size bunks. Two full baths mean fewer lines and more lake time. Central A/C and Wi-Fi keep everyone comfortable and connected, but the real draw is outside—step down to your private dock and a small beach cove that’s gentle for little swimmers and convenient for launching the included kayaks.

Silver Lake cabin is on an all-sports lake, so bring the boat or rent one nearby for wake-surf mornings and tube-tow laughter. Anglers can chase bluegill, perch, bass, walleye, and pike, then make quick work of the catch at the on-site fish cleaning station. When you’re ready to roam, you’re minutes to downtown Traverse City for farm-to-table bites, craft breweries, and boutique browsing. The region is a playground: hit the TART Trail by bike, plan a tasting loop on Old Mission Peninsula, and spend a day tackling the long views and sandy climbs at Sleeping Bear Dunes. Interlochen is close for a concert under the pines; Glen Arbor, Empire, and Leland reward curiosity with beaches, galleries, and smoked-fish runs that turn into impromptu picnics. When the snow flies, swap swimsuits for skis—Nordic trails, downhill turns, and snowmobile routes remake the landscape into a winter playground.

Cabintimers who appreciate straight-talk scheduling will like this: weekly, Saturday-to-Saturday bookings are standard from mid-June through August; shorter stays are possible the rest of the year, and the home rents year-round. No pets and non-smoking keeps it fresh for the next arrival. Because you book directly with the owner, you get real local guidance—where to launch, which dunes overlook is the quietest at sunrise, and the can’t-miss bakery run before a day on the water—plus no middleman fees. That’s the Cabin Time way.

Ready to start planning? Check availability and reach out to the owner through the Silver Lake Home listing on RentMichiganCabins.com to book direct. Ask about the best coves for kayaking on calm mornings, which Traverse City festival lines up with your dates, or the closest put-in for a sunset cruise. Then pack the marshmallows and a second swimsuit—you’ll use both.

Sturgeon River Front and Center: Sidell’s Log Cabin in Indian River, MI. A Listing Partner on RentMichiganCabins.com Since 2017!
by

Sturgeon River Front and Center: Sidell’s Log Cabin in Indian River, MI. A Listing Partner on RentMichiganCabins.com Since 2017!

Cabintimers, meet your Up North basecamp on the water. Sidell’s Sturgeon River Log Cabin puts you right on one of Michigan’s beloved blue‑ribbon trout streams, minutes from Burt Lake and an easy hop to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac Island. The setting is woodsy and quiet. The river soundtrack is constant. The memories come easy.

This custom cedar log cabin was built for gathering. Four bedrooms, three full baths, a fun loft, and two living areas mean the whole crew can spread out. Sleep up to 12 without stepping on toes. Pets are considered, so bring the four‑legged explorer, too. Mornings start slow on the big back deck with coffee and river views. Evenings finish around the stone fire pit right on the bank—s’mores, stars, and the Sturgeon flowing by.

Inside, a chef’s kitchen keeps the group well‑fed: high‑end stainless appliances, a big prep island, and everything you need to cook family favorites. After a day outside, sink into the sofa for a movie night or rally in the lower‑level game room. There’s Wi‑Fi and cable when you want it, but you might just opt for the cedar sauna—pure bliss after paddling, fishing, or snowmobiling.

You’re steps from Trail #7 and the North Central State Trail for four‑season fun. In summer and fall, launch kayaks, tubes, or canoes and float past the cabin. Fly anglers target browns and steelhead right out back. Prefer lake days? Devoe Beach on Burt Lake is a short drive, and a labyrinth of connected waterways—Burt, Mullett, Crooked, and beyond—opens up boating, swimming, and sandbar picnics.

Winter flips the script. Boyne Highlands, Boyne Mountain, and Nubs Nob bring downhill thrills. Sleds and snowmobiles take off from the trailhead just down the lane. Come back rosy‑cheeked, fire up the grill, and warm up in the sauna. Repeat tomorrow.

Indian River makes trip planning easy. Stock up at local markets, then explore favorite Up North towns: browse Petoskey stone shops, sip around area wineries, and catch live theater or festivals. Big Bear Adventures in town handles river trips and mini‑golf for the kids. Day‑trip to Mackinac Island for bikes and fudge, then return to your river retreat for a peaceful night by the fire.

Cabintimer tips:

• Bring waders if you fly fish—the Sturgeon is clear, quick, and loaded with structure.
• Pack yard games; the lawn between the deck and river is perfect for a cornhole showdown.
• Peak summer stays are weekly, so lock in your dates early. Booking direct means the best price and direct access to the owner’s local know‑how.

Ready to plan it? Skip service fees and book this Indian River vacation rental directly with the owner at RentMichiganCabins.com. You’ll get quick answers about gear, trailheads, and where to find that secret swimming hole.

Scott Lakes Properties in Southwest Michigan: Lake life for Cabintimers who love space, sunsets, and no service fees. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2018!

Scott Lakes Properties in Southwest Michigan: Lake life for Cabintimers who love space, sunsets, and no service fees. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2018!

There’s a sweet spot in Southwest Michigan where two inland lakes meet easy access to Lake Michigan towns. Scott Lakes Properties sits in Lee Township between Upper Scott Lake and Lower Scott Lake, a quick drive to South Haven, Saugatuck, and Douglas. Cabintimers come for the water, the woods, and the flexibility to host everyone—from a couples’ weekend to a 32‑person reunion. Book direct, skip extra fees, and get real local tips from the team who knows these shores best.

Scott Lakes at a glance

Lake time starts in the backyard. Many homes offer private docks and sandy swim areas. Several add hot tubs with a water view. Firepits, grills, and big decks keep the gathering going after sunset. Inside, you’ll find roomy great rooms, game spaces with pool or air‑hockey, and cozy corners for morning coffee. It’s the Midwest lake vibe, dialed in.

Stay your way: from cozy to colossal

Cabintimers can pick from stand‑alone homes or smart dual‑home combos on Upper and Lower Scott Lake. Here are a few guest‑favorites to help you plan:

• Lodge & Lake (dual‑home). Two neighboring homes team up for lake days and forest walks. 13 bedrooms and 10.5 baths welcome up to 32 Cabintimers.

• Serenity Lake Combo. Two lakefront homes on Lower Scott Lake with 8 bedrooms and 7.5 baths. Decks, fireplaces, hot tub, private dock—easy living for up to 20.

• Lucky Duck + Hawk’s Haven. Split your crew across the street and still gather on Upper Scott Lake. 10 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, private beach and dock, and a rec room for rainy‑day fun.

• Scott Creek Lodge (single‑home). Seven bedrooms and 7.5 baths, a fireplace that warms both inside and the patio, plus a secluded hot tub. Not on the shoreline, but you still get a private beach and dock a short drive away—great value for big groups.

• More options. Look at Sunset Shores Lake House, Eagle’s Nest, Swan Shores, Heron’s Landing, Sunset Beach House, Upper Scott Lake Retreat, Maple Woods Hideaway, White Oaks Haven, Woodland Pines, and Morningside Vista. The mix covers hot tubs, screened porches, detached game rooms, and pet‑friendly stays.

Why Cabintimers love this location

You’re less than 20–30 minutes from beach towns you’ve heard about for years. Spend a sunny day at Oval Beach in Saugatuck or stroll the South Haven pier and lighthouse. Sample Southwest Michigan wine country with stops at Fenn Valley, Modales, and Michigan Wine Company. Take kids to the Allegan Event indoor ropes course or the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo. Learn Great Lakes history at the Michigan Maritime Museum. When the orchards ripen, hit Crane Orchards for u‑pick fruit and a fall corn maze.

Four‑season fun

Spring brings Tulip Time in Holland and antique‑hunting at the Allegan Antiques Market. Summer means farmers’ markets, art fairs, lake swims, and golden sunsets. Fall pops with color around Upper Scott Lake; plan apple picking and the Allegan County Fair. Winter brings the South Haven Ice Breaker festival, local ski hills like Bittersweet and Timber Ridge, and quiet hot‑tub nights under a snowy sky. Lake life doesn’t clock out.

How to plan your stay

Pick your dates, party size, and must‑haves. Need a private beach and dock? Want a hot tub or a game room? Traveling with pets? There’s a match on these two lakes. Chicago is roughly a 2.5‑hour drive. Detroit is about three. Grocery runs are easy, and towns nearby cover coffee, craft beer, and dinners out. Ask the Scott Lakes team for pairing ideas if you want two homes for a larger group.

Book direct and keep more for the fun stuff

Cabintimers know this rule: book direct to keep dollars in your trip, not in fees. You’ll talk with a local team, get better date flexibility, and hear real‑time advice on fishing spots, kayak rentals, and hidden beaches. First‑timers—watch for newsletter specials. Ready to start? Head to Scott Lakes to browse homes, check calendars, and reserve your stay.

CedarStone on Burt Lake: Sunsets, a 100’ Dock, and Space for 14 Cabintimers. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2018!

If your crew has been talking about a true Up North lake stay, CedarStone puts you right on Burt Lake with front-row seats to the sunset show. The home sits on the east side of the lake along Sturgeon Bay, so evenings glow across the water while you relax on the wide cedar deck or stroll the 100’ beach and private dock with a sitting sun deck. Book direct with the owner on RentMichiganCabins.com to skip traveler fees and get local tips straight from the source.

Room to spread out, relax, and reconnect

This is a 2-story, 2,800+ sq. ft. western red cedar, post-and-beam home designed by Lindal Cedar Homes for four-season comfort. Inside you’ll find two gathering spaces: a living room with a 57” HDTV and a lakeside family room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a fieldstone wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen is built for group meals with a wraparound counter that seats 8 plus a dining table for 8.

Bedrooms and baths are dialed in for families and friends. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, sleeping up to 14 with two sleeper sofas. The second-floor primary suite has a king bed, lake views, and a jetted tub. Another king suite overlooks the family room. On the main level, one bedroom faces the lake with two doubles; the front bedroom offers a queen plus a double. Laundry is onsite, so packing stays easy.

Outside is where CedarStone shines. The shoreline is a smooth round-stone base with a gradual slope and famously clear water. Launch the day from the long cedar deck. End it by the fire ring under a sky full of stars. The dock is perfect for sunning, swimming, and loading up the boat.

Why Cabintimers love this location

Burt Lake sits on Michigan’s Inland Waterway, a nearly 40-mile chain of rivers and lakes that links Crooked and Pickerel Lakes to Burt Lake, the Indian and Cheboygan Rivers, Mullett Lake, and out to Lake Huron. Boat, cruise, or paddle section by section. It’s a classic Northern Michigan day.

Need a sandy beach day? Burt Lake State Park is minutes away with 2,000 feet of shoreline, a shallow swim area, and picnic space for the whole crew.

Prefer moving water? Tackle a guided paddle on the Sturgeon River, Northern Michigan’s swiftest lower-peninsula river. Outfitters in Indian River handle kayaks, canoes, tubes, and shuttles, so you can focus on the splashy fun.

Easy day trips from CedarStone

  • Mackinac Island — Hop a ferry for horse-drawn carriage tours, historic forts, golf, and famous fudge. The island’s car-free pace is part of the magic.
  • Harbor Springs to Cross Village — Cruise the M-119 “Tunnel of Trees.” Windows down. Colors blazing in fall. Cap the drive with pier views and pierogi at Cross Village.
  • Ski days in winter — Point the car to Nub’s Nob or The Highlands in Harbor Springs for downhill runs, Nordic trails, and après. CedarStone is a warm, wood-fired home base after fresh snow.
  • Petoskey & Mackinaw City — Fill an afternoon with shoreline parks, shopping, and lighthouse views. Back “home,” the sunset over Burt Lake brings everyone to the dock again.

How CedarStone fits your trip

  • Group-friendly layout. Two living areas for movie nights and morning coffee. A huge kitchen for pancake runs and post-lake feasts. Three full baths keep the line short.
  • Set up for boaters. Private dock and moorings with quick access to the Inland Waterway. Trailer parking available. Bring the toys.
  • Four seasons welcome. Summer is weekly, Friday-to-Friday. Spring, fall, and winter stays run a 3-night minimum, so you can sneak in long weekends for color tours, ski trips, or holiday gatherings.

Local bites Cabintimers rave about

Make a reservation at Douglas Lake Bar & Steakhouse for lake views and a classic Northwoods supper. It’s a local favorite and an easy drive from Indian River.

Murray Properties in Norton Shores, MI: Lake Michigan days, Muskegon nights, and a book direct path through RentMichiganCabins.com!

Murray Properties in Norton Shores, MI: Lake Michigan days, Muskegon nights, and a book direct path through RentMichiganCabins.com!

Cabintimers, this corner of West Michigan is all about sandy shoreline, tall dunes, and easy-going lake time. Murray Properties is based in Norton Shores—right between Muskegon’s big-beach energy and the quiet trails of P.J. Hoffmaster State Park—making it a great launchpad for pure Lake Michigan fun. Better yet, you can book direct with the owner/manager and skip traveler fees while getting local tips you won’t find on the big sites. If you’re planning a summer swim week, leaf-peeping hike, or quick shoreline escape, you’re in the right place.

What makes this spot work for Cabintimers

Location is the win here. You’re minutes from P.J. Hoffmaster State Park’s dune overlooks and long, sandy beach. Trails run through beech-maple forest to dune crests with sweeping lake views. It’s a natural playground in every season, with miles of shoreline and plenty of hiking.

Muskegon’s Pere Marquette Park brings the big-lake scene: a wide strand of surf-raked sand, accessible walkways, and the twin lights guarding the channel. Bring a picnic, set up by the pier, and let the kids sprint the shoreline between dips. Sunsets here regularly steal the show.

Day-trip ideas that fit every crew

Got thrill-seekers? Block off a day at Michigan’s Adventure—Michigan’s largest amusement and water park. Coasters, a full water park, and kid zones mean everyone finds a lane.

History fans can tour the USS LST 393 in downtown Muskegon. Walk the decks of a World War II landing ship that now serves as a veterans museum. It’s eye-opening and easy to pair with a stroll along the lakeshore.

Craving something different? Ride the Lake Express fast ferry for a breezy day over to Milwaukee. The crossing takes about 2½ hours, and the terminals on both sides are simple to reach. Catch a morning boat, explore the lakefront, and be back in time for a beachy sunset.

Winter isn’t a time-out, either. The Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park (inside Muskegon State Park) offers one of the nation’s public luge tracks, plus a lighted ice trail, cross-country skiing, and more. It’s an easy add for a cold-weather cabin weekend.

How to plan your stay (and save)

Booking through RentMichiganCabins connects you straight to owners and local managers. That means no service fees and direct answers about shoreline access, parking, pet rules, and what’s open in shoulder seasons. Use the inquiry form or click through to the Murray Properties website to confirm dates, ask about seasonal rates, and lock in your trip with the folks who know the area best.

A simple Norton Shores game plan

Morning: Coffee, then Hoffmaster’s Dune Overlook Trail for those views. Pack snacks—sand between your toes is guaranteed. Afternoon: Roll to Pere Marquette Beach for kite watching, volleyball, and pier walks. Evening: Grab dinner in town, then close the day with a west-facing sunset over Lake Michigan. Repeat as needed.

Why Cabintimers love booking direct

You keep more of your budget for fun when you avoid third-party fees. You also gain local knowledge: the quietest path to the beach, which trail dries fastest after rain, and where to find a post-hike cone. That’s the It’s Cabin Time® way—simple, friendly, and focused on the stay you want.

Ready to go? Head to the Murray Properties page on RentMichiganCabins and follow the “Visit Website” or inquiry button to start a conversation with the owner/manager. Book direct. Save money. Get real local advice.
