Quiet-Water Cabin Life at Our Great Escape on Lost Land Lake, Hayward WI. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2017!

Cabintimers, if your heart beats a little slower when waves kiss a sugar-sand shoreline, you’ll feel right at home at Our Great Escape (OGE) on Lost Land Lake. This is a classic Northwoods lakefront home near Hayward, Wisconsin with a twist: it sits on one of the region’s Quiet Lakes. Boats idle. Loons call. Sunsets lean west across Wilson Bay. It’s cabin time, the way it should be.

Location and vibe
Lost Land Lake lies inside the Chequamegon National Forest east of Hayward. It connects to Teal Lake by a gentle channel. The Quiet Lakes carry a 10‑mph speed limit and no wake near shore, so paddlers, swimmers, and anglers rule the day. You can hear the wind in the pines from the screened porch. You can watch stars appear while the fire crackles on the shore. Simple evenings here feel big.

The lakehome
OGE is a four‑bedroom, three‑bath ranch‑style home with an airy great room and a two‑story river‑rock fireplace. Most living is on one level. A cozy loft overlooks the gathering space. Big windows face the water, so the outdoors follows you inside. The kitchen is ready for real meals. A large dining table brings everyone together. Two bedrooms have en‑suite baths, and there’s a third full bath between the remaining bedrooms. Comfort and space mean multi‑generation trips work well.

Beach, dock, and play
The home rests about fifty feet from 183 feet of sugar‑sand beach with weed‑free swimming. The shoreline sits in a protected cove inside Green Point on Wilson Bay. West‑facing views serve up golden hour and honest‑to‑goodness stargazing. A 40‑foot dock with a bench is ready for morning coffee and fish stories. An included 14’ Alumacraft V‑hull sets you up for sunrise trolling or a lazy tour of the bay. Need a bigger boat? A local marina in the same bay offers motor and pontoon rentals just minutes away by water or road.

Why anglers love it
Lost Land Lake is known for musky, walleye, northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, and bluegill. Slow‑speed rules keep waves down and shorelines quiet. That’s good for young anglers learning to cast, and it’s great for the evening topwater bite. Bring your favorite bucktails and jigs. Keep a camera ready for bald eagles, otters, and loons.

Comforts that matter
This is a licensed, inspected seasonal vacation rental that takes cleanliness seriously. Professional cleaners reset the home between guests, and a laundry service turns linens crisp. There’s central gathering space for rainy‑day card games, plus that screened porch for bug‑free nights. Sorry, no pets.

Seasonal details
OGE hosts Cabintimers late spring through September. Early‑June weeks can be the best value, with cool nights and hungry fish. Mid‑summer means sand‑castle days and warm water. September turns quiet and golden. Plan ahead. Lakeside calendars fill fast on the Quiet Lakes.

Things to do near Hayward
Hayward sits a short drive away with the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, local outfitters, and Main Street shops. Watch world‑class pros cut, roll, and run during Hayward’s summer lumberjack shows. Golfers can swing at Big Fish Golf Club, a Pete Dye design. Trail fans can hit the CAMBA singletrack or cruise rolling forest roads. When you want a change of water, paddle a section of the Namekagon River, part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Evenings are for a classic Northwoods supper club, where Friday fish fry and an old fashioned just make sense.

Why this stay works for Cabintimers
You want space for your crew. You want a real beach your kids can wade. You want quiet water, not a parade of jet skis. You want a dock, a porch, and a kitchen that can handle pancakes and shore lunch. That mix is rare. OGE checks those boxes with room to spare.

Book direct and save
Skip platform markups. Book directly with the owner at Our Great Escape for no service fees and the kind of local insight only owners can share. Ask about seasonal openings, best weeks for swimming or musky, and where to launch kayaks on a calm morning. Direct is better. No middleman.

Trip‑planning nuggets
Bring water shoes for the kids even though the beach is sandy. Pack binoculars for eagles. Plan one sunset paddle and one early‑morning coffee on the dock. Grab your trail shoes and a bike rack if you ride. Save a day for Hayward’s hall‑of‑fame selfie inside the giant musky. Simple rituals like these become the stories you tell next winter.

Ready to be a Cabintimer on the Quiet Lakes? Start here, breathe deep, and let the shoreline set your pace.

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 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.

Cabintimers Guide: Lovells Riverside on Michigan’s Au Sable—where waders, woodsmoke, and wild trout set the pace. A RentMichiganCabins.com listing partner!
by

Cabintimers Guide: Lovells Riverside on Michigan’s Au Sable—where waders, woodsmoke, and wild trout set the pace. A RentMichiganCabins.com listing partner!

Lovells has a way of slowing time. The steady hush of the North Branch of the Au Sable River, the pine-scented air, and a sky that actually gets dark enough to show off the Milky Way—this is where Cabintimers come to swap push notifications for mayfly hatches. Lovells Riverside (formerly Bud’s) sits right in the action near Grayling, with direct access to legendary trout water and a down-to-earth basecamp vibe that makes “one more cast” feel perfectly reasonable.

Why Lovells Riverside hits different

This stretch of the Au Sable is famous for wild brook and brown trout. Wade-friendly currents, undercut banks, and classic northern Michigan scenery set you up for sunrise casts and twilight drifts. Even if you’re not fishing, that riverside soundtrack pairs well with coffee in the morning and a camp chair in the evening. Michigan DNR access points nearby—like The Sand Trap and Sheep Pasture—make it easy to hop around for a change of scenery when the hatch shifts.

For the fly-curious and the fish-obsessed

Make time for the Lovells Museum of Trout Fishing History, Michigan’s only trout fishing museum. You’ll find vintage gear, river lore, and exhibits that trace the Au Sable’s outsized impact on conservation and angling culture. It’s a small place with big stories—perfect for a mid-day break when the fish are sulking. Seasonal hours typically run during trout season, with Saturday openings and appointments available.

Beyond the river: pine cathedrals and quiet trails

Ten miles down the road, Hartwick Pines State Park lets you wander among old-growth white pines on the accessible Old Growth Forest Trail. With 21 miles of paths, a logging museum, and year-round recreation—from summer hiking to winter snowshoeing—it’s a natural reset button for the whole crew.

Nearby small-town stops for your cabin week

Grayling rounds out the trip with outfitters, cafes, and river-friendly shops. Time your visit with late-July’s AuSable Canoe Marathon if you want a shot of pure paddle energy, or keep it mellow with a hatchery visit and an ice cream cone by the river. Either way, Lovells + Grayling is a classic northern Michigan combo where days flow easy and nights cool off fast. graylingmichigan.org

Cabintimer tips

  • Pack layers; northern Michigan evenings can catch you by surprise—even in July.
  • Respect private land along the river and use marked state access sites. A short walk often leads to wonderfully quiet water. Michigan Department of Natural Resources
  • New to fly fishing? Local guides can flatten the learning curve so you spend more time casting and less time retying.

Book direct for the best trip intel

Lovells Riverside is about location and local knowledge. When you book direct with owners or managers, you skip third-party fees and gain real insight on what’s hatching, which access to use, and where to grab a hearty breakfast before first light. That’s the Cabintimer advantage—no middleman, just people who actually know the river.

Ready to wade in? Visit the Lovells Riverside page and reach out to the owner/manager to plan your stay, ask river questions, and lock in those book-direct savings.

Birch Bay Resort: Classic Minnesota cabin life on Wabana Lake. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2013!

Birch Bay Resort: Classic Minnesota cabin life on Wabana Lake. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2013!

If your heart beats a little faster at the words “pine shoreline,” “panfish bite,” and “evening s’mores,” Birch Bay Resort near Grand Rapids, Minnesota is calling your name. Tucked along the clear waters of the Wabana Chain, this laid-back property brings back the best parts of cabin tradition—sand between your toes, a fish fry on the deck, and quiet mornings watching loons—without giving up modern comforts. Cabintimers, this is where simple days make the best stories.

Birch Bay Resort sits on Wabana Lake in the Chippewa National Forest, a chain famous for crystal-clear water, healthy walleye and smallmouth populations, and long, tree-lined vistas. The shoreline here is largely wild, so paddles and pontoon rides feel extra peaceful. Expect easy access to fishing, swimming, and sunset campfires just steps from your cabin door.

Cabins made for easy living

Every unit is lakefront or has a lake view—so you’re never far from the water. Kitchens are fully equipped, Wi-Fi is available, and each cabin has its own charcoal grill and deck or patio for slow breakfasts and post-adventure hangouts. Docks and a private concrete boat ramp keep boat days simple, and there’s a canoe, kayaks, and paddle boats for splash-around afternoons. Families will appreciate the swingset, plus a fish-cleaning house and live wells for the anglers in your crew. Grocery service can even take one errand off your list.

Room for two—or your whole crew

From the cozy Birch Suite (hello king-size bed for two) to the spacious Log Cottage that sleeps up to 16, you can size your stay to your group. Popular standouts include Cabin Four on the point—windows gazing right at the water—and the two-story Birch Perch with premium finishes. Many layouts add futons or bunks for flexible sleeping, and large decks are built for grilling after a day on the lake.

Things to do around Grand Rapids

When you’re not on the water, explore the region’s rich northwoods culture:

  • Forest History Center — Step into a 1900s logging camp with interactive exhibits and trails. Kids (and grown-ups) love it.
  • Wabana Chain day trips — Paddle to Bluewater, Little Trout, and Historic Trout Lake, home to the storied Joyce Estate ruins along the shore.
  • Children’s Discovery Museum — Hands-on learning that’s perfect for a rainy-day break.
  • Hill Annex Mine State Park — Tours, a scenic overlook, and even fossil hunts offer a peek into Iron Range history.

Back at your Minnesota resort, it’s about bikes on the path, sand-castle contests, and campfire chats that go a little too late. Simple is the point.

Why Cabintimers book direct here

Skip third-party fees and connect with local owners who actually know where the walleyes are hitting and which trail dries out first after a rain. Direct booking means better communication, more value, and those insider tips you can’t get from a call center.

Ready to make it happen?

Check availability, pick your cabin, and start planning sunrise coffee on the deck. Your Wabana Lake story starts at the source—book directly with Birch Bay Resort.

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.

by

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.

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.
