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.

Wake Up to Loons and Glass‑Clear Water at Emma’s Spectacle Lake Home (Cambridge, MN). RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2019!

Cabintimers, this Cambridge lake escape brings sunrise magic and easygoing “up north” vibes just 50 miles from the Twin Cities. Emma’s Spectacle Lake Home puts you steps from 239 acres of clear water and a sandy‑bottom shoreline. Start your morning coffee on the east‑facing deck as loons call. Then wander down to 100 feet of natural shoreline and your private dock. Launch your boat at the nearby ramp and keep it tied up for the week. Swim, float, cast, repeat.

Inside, spread out across two levels that are made for together time. The main great room has a cozy gas fireplace for cool evenings. The walk‑out level gives you a second great room with an electric fireplace and extra hangout space. There are two full kitchens with dishwashers, so dinner prep stays easy and cleanup is a breeze. Two enclosed porches, an open deck, and a ground‑level patio mean you can follow the sun all day. Fire up one of the gas grills. Cap it all with s’mores around the lakeside fire pit.

Sleeping is simple and comfortable for up to six. Two bedrooms each offer a full bed. Need extra space? Two queen futons in the great room handle that with ease. Pack lighter thanks to the laundry room, Wi‑Fi, smart TVs, and linens and towels provided. Pets are considered, so four‑legged Cabintimers can come along—ask the owners about details when you inquire.

Spectacle Lake lives up to its name. Water clarity is excellent, and the sandy bottom near shore is great for swimming with kids. Anglers can chase black crappie, bluegill, hybrid sunfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike. Bring your canoe or use the provided life jackets and paddle craft for a calm tour along the shoreline. When the breeze picks up, find a quiet cove, drift, and watch for eagles.

Want to mix in off‑the‑water fun? You’re close to the Spectacle Lake Wildlife Management Area for casual hikes and wildlife watching. Explore paved trails for biking and walking. In winter, roll right into a day of cross‑country skiing or snowmobiling on nearby routes. Cambridge anchors the scene with Summer Concerts in the Park, the state‑of‑the‑art Richard G. Hardy Performing Arts Center, and the Isanti County Fair. Paddle a stretch of the wild and scenic Rum River. Tee up at one of a dozen courses in the area. Pop into town for antiques, boutiques, and a bite after your lake day.

This is a true four‑season basecamp. Spring wildflowers, long summer days, blazing fall color, and quiet winter nights by the fire. Two kitchens, two living spaces, multiple porches, and easy lake access make it a great pick for families and small groups who want real time together.

Book direct with Christina for the best rate and the local scoop. No service fees. No middleman. Just a friendly owner who knows the lake, the launch, the trails, and the best places to eat. Tap “Inquire now” on Emma’s details page and start planning.

Ron’s Waterfront Cottages on Lost Lake: Five Classic Michigan Cabins for Every Season. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2014!

If your kind of vacation starts with a quiet morning on the dock and ends with s’mores by the fire, set your compass for Barryton, Michigan. Ron’s Waterfront Cottages sits on Lost Lake in the Martiny Chain—an all-sport playground of connected waters where Cabintimers can boat through channels, cast for panfish and bass, and watch loons glide past at sunset. Weekly and nightly stays are available year-round, and booking direct with the owner means no service fees, no middleman, and real local know-how.

The Setting: Lost Lake & the Martiny Chain

This pocket of mid-Michigan is a paddler’s and angler’s happy place. Ten+ lakes link together through calm channels, so you can make a half-day paddle or an all-day cruise without ever loading your boat. The shoreline is largely natural, with state land and the Martiny Lake State Game Area nearby for wildlife viewing, waterfowl watching, and fall color drives. Winter brings hardwater action—bring a heater or pick up propane and take advantage of the ice shanty.

Choose Your Cottage

Ron’s offers five waterfront stays, each with its own personality and shoreline hangout. Rates below were current at the time of writing and may change—check availability directly with the owner.

The Loft — Open all four seasons and built for together time. An entertainment room with a pool table sets the tone, while big windows frame water on two sides. Two lofted sleeping spaces (one enclosed with an Amish queen bed) add flexibility. A covered porch with grill and log furniture extends the hangout outdoors. Utility room with washer and dryer keeps week-long stays simple. Max 7 guests. From about $160/night or $945/week.

Island View — A classic cottage layout with a fire pit and boating dock steps from the door. Free use of the ice shanty in season makes it a solid pick for hardwater anglers. Max 6 guests. From about $135/night or $795/week.

The Cove — A snug basecamp for small groups that just want to fish, float, and relax around the fire. Max 5 guests. From about $110/night or $645/week.

Sunset Cottage — Bring the whole crew and spread out. An extra-large deck stares straight at the lake. Inside you’ll find a king bed in the primary bedroom with an en-suite half bath, plus a second bedroom with a queen. Central air and satellite TV deliver easy comfort; propane for the gas grill is included. Max 6 guests. From about $135/night or $795/week.

Loon’s Nest — Cozy nights are a given thanks to a real wood-burning fireplace, and summer days roll by around the lakeside fire ring. Central air keeps things cool; a 50″ TV covers movie nights. Master bedroom has direct access to the full bath; living room includes a pullout couch. Propane for the grill is included. Max 3 guests. From about $125/night or $750/week.

All Stays Include the Waterfront Fun

Every cottage is fully furnished so you can focus on the lake. Kitchens are stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. Outside, you’ll find a gas grill, picnic space, and a lakeside fire ring. The private dock and calm water are perfect for kayaks and canoes—and they’re included, along with a rowboat and paddle boat. Anglers will appreciate the screened fish-cleaning station with running water.

Traveling light? Pillows are provided; please bring your own bed linens and towels. If you need a specific fitted sheet size, the owner can provide one. Check in after 3 p.m.; check out before 11 a.m. For everyone’s comfort, there are no pets allowed.

Pontoon Days, Bonfire Nights

Want to range farther across the Martiny Chain? Ask about the on-site pontoon rental. It’s a relaxed way to explore channels, picnic on the water, and sneak into quiet coves for wildlife photos. Pontoons head back before dark; fuel is paid by the renter. Pro tip for Cabintimers: sunrise cruises are glassy and peaceful, while golden hour brings the best photo light on the docks.

Four-Season Play for Cabintimers

Spring & Summer: Launch right from your dock. Spend the day paddling through channels, trolling for crappie and panfish, or anchoring up for a swim. Evenings call for grilling and a campfire under big Midwest stars.

Fall: Maples light up the shoreline and the bite stays strong. Bring layers and a thermos for morning paddles. Wildlife viewing peaks as migration moves through the state game area.

Winter: When the ice sets, the fun continues. Use the ice shanty and chase bluegill, perch, and crappie, with chances for largemouth bass and northern pike. Back at the cottage, warm up by the fireplace at Loon’s Nest or settle in for board games at The Loft.

Nearby Things to Do (When You Can Pull Yourself Off the Dock)

Big Rapids is an easy day trip for coffee, galleries, and a thoughtful visit to the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University. Cyclists can hop on the Fred Meijer White Pine Trail—now a fully paved 92-mile route linking Cadillac and Grand Rapids—for smooth cruising through towns and countryside. Hikers can summit Bundy Hill Preserve for sweeping views, while golfers can tee it up at St. Ives or Tullymore in Stanwood. For a float day on moving water, J & J’s River Run in Evart rents tubes, canoes, and kayaks on the Muskegon River. Back near the cottages, the Martiny Lake State Game Area offers quiet two-tracks and wildlife viewing year-round.

Why Book Direct with Ron’s

You’ll talk to the owner, get straight answers, and skip big-site service fees. You’ll also get local tips—where fish are biting this week, which cove stays calm on a breezy day, and where to grab a great burger after the evening bite. Cabintimers know: book direct for the best rates and the best info.

Ready to plan? Check availability and ask questions at RonsWaterfrontCottages. Bring the crew, bring the marshmallows, and make Lost Lake your new cabin tradition.

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.

Lake Days & Sauna Nights at Little Bowstring Lake Cabin — Deer River, MN. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2022!

Cabintimers, picture your crew rolling up to a true Northwoods cabin right on Little Bowstring Lake. Think sunrise coffee on the patio, a lazy float to the swim raft, then a crackling fire as stars pop out over the water. This Deer River cabin is built for making memories — and it’s book-direct, so you skip the fees and talk with the local owner who knows every cove and trail.

Here’s what sets this stay apart: space, shoreline, and serious perks. Inside, the pine interior stretches out to around 2,600 square feet with three bedrooms plus a loft. There’s room for a big family or two, plus a laundry room for sandy towels and a jetted tub to soak after a day on the lake. Fast Wi‑Fi keeps game night and streaming easy when the weather turns.

The lake toys come standard. Your visit includes a private 48’ dock and a 16’ aluminum fishing boat with outboard and trolling motor. Slide the kayaks in at sunrise. Paddle the canoe to your favorite fishing hole. Let the kids claim the private sand beach, swimming platform, and the pile of floaties. When it’s time to grill, step out to the patio that faces the water. Evenings end around the fire pit with a hammock nearby calling your name.

A wood‑fired outdoor sauna and shower turn any season into a treat. Summer brings central A/C, which is a rarity up here. Winter stays are dialed in with in‑floor heat, so you can ski or snowmobile all day and come back to a warm floor and a comfy couch in front of the stone fireplace.

Pets are welcome too. There’s an outdoor kennel for worry‑free dinners in town, and house rules keep everything fresh for the next guest. Bring the whole pack.

When you’re ready to explore, you’ve got options in every direction. Paddle Little Bowstring at first light, then check out other nearby lakes like Deer, Moose, Caribou, and North Star. Lace up for trails in the Chippewa National Forest, or head to Suomi Hills for cross‑country skiing and quiet woods in winter. Prefer a day in town? Grand Rapids is an easy drive for coffee, breweries, and live shows at the Reif. Stop at the Forest History Center, browse the Macrostie Art Center, or catch a Saturday night at the speedway.

Planning tips for Cabintimers:

• Summer is weekly, Saturday‑to‑Saturday — plan ahead for prime weeks.
• Pack beach towels, but toss in layers for cool nights by the fire.
• Bring your favorite lures. There’s a fish‑cleaning station on site for that post‑bite fry‑up.

This is the kind of cabin that pulls everyone outside. Kayaks on the shoreline. Kids racing to the raft. A boat waiting at the dock. And later, a post‑sauna sprint to the lake under a bright northern sky. That’s Cabin Time.

Ready to visit Little Bowstring Lake Cabin? Check dates and book directly with the owner to avoid service fees and get local tips before you arrive.

Go With the Flow: Cabins on the West Fork at Nature Nooks Retreat (Viroqua, WI). As Seen on RentWisconsinCabins.com Since 2013!

If your version of cabin time includes paddling quiet water, casting for trout at first light, and stargazing after the campfire settles, point your compass to Nature Nooks Retreat in Viroqua. This 87-acre hideaway lays out one peaceful mile of the West Fork of the Kickapoo River right on the property—plus complimentary kayaks and tubes so Cabintimers can slip in and explore at their own pace. Trails ribbon through prairie, wetlands, and woods, with wildlife around every bend.

Nature Nooks leans all-in on sustainability, which makes staying here feel even better. The retreat is 100% solar-powered (48 panels) and has an EV charging station for two vehicles. It’s also recognized as a Travel Green certified business—so your getaway treads lighter while you kick back.

Pick Your Place to Stay

The Lodge fits up to 12 with eight separate beds, a light-filled living area, woodstove warmth, and a screened porch that begs for long conversations. Little Barn Cabin sleeps six in a modern, wood-rich space with sunrise and sunset views from its two decks. Planning a retreat, workshop, or family reunion HQ? Kinship Place is a timber-framed meeting and lodging space with floor-to-ceiling glass, a full kitchen, projector/sound system, dinner service for 36, seating for meetings up to 40, and room for up to four overnight guests. All guests share free access to the kayaks/tubes, game room, and trails.

Four-Season Fun Around Viroqua & Westby

Ten miles up the valley, the Kickapoo Valley Reserve spreads across 8,600+ acres with miles of hiking, biking, skiing, and a famously meandering paddle route—it’s a Driftless classic. Back in Viroqua, stretch your legs on Sidie Hollow’s lakeside trails or bring a rod for its 38-acre lake. When it’s time to toast the day, Vernon Vineyards pours local wines with ridge-top views. Winter visit? Check the Snowflake Ski Club calendar in nearby Westby—this volunteer-run complex hosts ski-jump events and even has a nine-hole golf course at the base of the jump come warm weather.

Insider Tips for Cabintimers

Bring water shoes—the river bottom is rocky in places. Anglers should know the West Fork here is Class I trout water and strictly catch-and-release on the property with barbless hooks (license required). Little ones in tow? The owners keep field guides, nature DVDs, and even a microscope on hand. No pets allowed, and you won’t miss cable—there’s fiber internet for streaming plus a rec room with pool, ping-pong, foosball and more for rainy-day fun. Best of all, Tom and Pam live on site, greet guests, and are happy to share paddling pointers or a favorite trail.

Why Book Direct

Skip third-party fees and talk with the folks who know this river bend best. Book direct with Nature Nooks Retreat for no service fees, no middleman, and authentic local expertise from your hosts. (You’ll also find them on RentWisconsinCabins.com if you’re browsing more Badger State stays.)

Deer Lake Resort: Your Own 40‑Acre Lake + 9‑Bedroom Northwoods Lodge in Winchester, WI. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2018!

Big week ahead? Bring the whole crew to Deer Lake Resort in Winchester, Wisconsin. Cabintimers get the rare combo here: a private, 40‑acre, electric‑only lake wrapped by nearly two square miles of forest and a 9,000‑sq‑ft lodge that sleeps up to 20. It’s quiet. It’s spacious. And it’s set up for easy living and long lake days—without neighbors peeking over the dock.

Why Cabintimers love this Winchester, WI cabin rental

This is a true large‑group basecamp. You’ll find nine bedrooms and six full baths, including a 1,000‑sq‑ft bunk room with its own sitting area and fireplace. There are four fireplaces total, multiple family rooms with lake views, and a lakeside screened porch perfect for morning coffee or late‑night card games. The oversized dining/family room overlooks the water and gives everyone a place to gather without squeezing onto pullouts.

The kitchen was remodeled recently and is stocked to feed a crowd: two coffee makers plus a 50‑cup brewer, two slow cookers, a convection oven, commercial gas cooktop, two full‑size refrigerators, and a stand‑up freezer. Bar seating for six keeps the cooks company while they work. Pro tip for planners: bring the spice kit and a menu—this kitchen can handle it.

On‑the‑water fun (all included)

Because Deer Lake is private and electric‑only, the water stays calm and wildlife hangs close. Fishing is catch‑and‑release and the lake has been stocked with walleye over the years, along with northern, crappie, and panfish. Your group can spread out on the private sand beach, swim platform, and dock. Boats and toys are part of the package: kayaks, canoes, paddle board, paddle boats, two 14‑ft fishing boats with electric motors, a two‑person electric pontoon, and a 6–8 person electric pontoon. Want to waterski? There’s a slip on nearby Birch Lake for your motorboat.

Game on, rain or shine

The lower‑level game room keeps kids and night owls happy with ping‑pong, foosball, and video games. Outside, set up volleyball on the big lawn, shoot hoops, or gather by the firepit. There’s also a hot tub and multiple decks when you’re ready to unwind.

Trail time & town time

Just a few miles away, WinMan Trails offers 20+ miles of groomed biking and hiking. Paved paths connect you to Manitowish Waters, Boulder Junction, and Presque Isle for ice cream runs, coffee stops, and souvenir browsing. Day‑trip options include Lake Superior’s beaches and scenic shoreline. Closer to home you’ll find golf courses, supper clubs, antique shops, and even underground caves. Pack for adventure and see where the day takes you.

Good to know

• Weekly stays are common, typically Saturday–Saturday in summer.

• Pets are considered—bring the four‑legged family if approved.

• Linens and beach towels are provided. There’s a washer/dryer and even an outdoor rinse station.

• Wi‑Fi keeps you connected when you need it; a back‑up generator keeps vacation on track.
