On the Bay in Northport: A Lake Michigan Stay Where Sunrise Sets the Tone. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2018!

Cabintimers, meet On the Bay—a shoreline vacation home in Northport where mornings start with coffee and a front-row seat to Grand Traverse Bay. This is Leelanau Peninsula living at a human pace. You’re a mile south of downtown, close enough for a bakery run yet tucked behind the trees with big-sky water views and space for everyone to spread out.

Inside, the home is built for easy, multi-generation travel: Wi-Fi and AC, a fully stocked kitchen with a dishwasher, comfy bedrooms, and plenty of books and games for a low-key afternoon. Outside, you’ve got a level lot that makes life simple—carry kayaks to the water, grill on the deck, gather around the firepit, and use the fish-cleaning station after a day on the bay. There’s boat and trailer parking, too. Non-smoking, no pets, kid-friendly, and even handicap access—helpful for grandparents or anyone who appreciates fewer stairs.

Why Cabintimers love this spot

Because Northport is north of the noise. Launch for paddles in calm water, scan the horizon for freighters, and let the sunrise handle your daily alarm clock. When you’re ready to roam, Leelanau’s best day trips fan out in every direction.

Northport & Suttons Bay: Walk into town for Friday’s farmers market, hit Barb’s Bakery for the classics, browse indie shops, and check the taps at Northport Brewing. In Suttons Bay, cycle the Leelanau Trail, sip at Tandem Ciders, and grab dinner steps from the marina.

Lighthouses & overlooks: Drive to Leelanau State Park and tour the Grand Traverse Lighthouse. Detour to Peterson Park for dramatic shoreline views or find a quiet swim at Christmas Cove.

Sleeping Bear Dunes day: Hike Empire Bluff or the Dune Climb, cool off in Glen Arbor, and wind back along M-22 with golden-hour stops at farm stands.

Wine & farm-fresh finds: This peninsula is grape country. Green Bird Cellars & Farm near Northport is a worthy stop, and the Leelanau Wine Trail dots the map with scenic pours.

Good-to-know booking notes (because clarity = relaxation)

Book direct with the owner for the lowest rate and local tips—no platform service fees, no middleman. Typical stays require two nights, with weekly bookings in late June through early September. You’ll see straightforward policies and an old-school owner contact who actually knows the shoreline, the winds, and where to launch on a calm day. That’s the Cabin Time difference.

Trip-planning spark

Here’s a simple “On the Bay” rhythm: sunrise paddle, bakery run, midday swim off the bay, nap in the hammock shade, lighthouse at golden hour, s’mores by the firepit, stargazing to close the loop. Repeat, but swap in a wine trail, a Suttons Bay bike ride, or a Glen Arbor picnic. Your call.

Ready to map out a lakeshore week that actually breathes? Visit the On the Bay listing on RentMichiganCabins.com and book directly with the owner. Bring your questions—local expertise comes standard when you skip the middleman.

Lake George Cabins with Sandy Beach Days and Snowy Trail Nights: Merry Dale Resort, Rhinelander – A Listing Partner on RentWisconsinCabins.com Since 2012!

Looking for a classic Northwoods resort with real lake time and a family feel? Cabintimers, say hello to Merry Dale Resort on Lake George in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. This quiet bay on a 443–450-acre lake sets you up for sunny swim days, easy paddling, and year-round adventure. Book direct with the owners for local tips, flexible help, and no service fees.

Why Cabintimers Love Merry Dale

The beach gets sun all day thanks to southern exposure, so swimming is easy and warm. The gradual entry is great for little legs. Between dips, kids sprint back to a big park-style playground and open green space. Every cabin includes a 14′ aluminum boat, with kayaks and a canoe ready on shore; add a motor or ask about pontoon rentals if you want a longer cruise. Anglers find panfish, walleye, bass, northern pike, and musky right on Lake George. Come any season—the resort is open year-round for summer swims, fall color, winter trail rides, and spring fishing.

Cabin Joe from It’s Cabin Time® at Merry Dale Resort.

The Cabins (pick your Northwoods vibe)

Lakewood (2BR) — Fireplace, deck. Sleeps up to 4. A cozy base close to the action.

Lake Days, Trail Days, and Everything Between

On the water: Paddle the quiet bay at sunrise for glassy reflections. Pack a lunch and cruise the shoreline. Young anglers can start with bluegill off the pier; seasoned casters often target walleye and pike along weed edges.

On the trails: Rhinelander and Oneida County serve up hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails. When the snow flies, start right from the resort area and roam deep into the Northwoods.

Easy kid wins: Beach time, hot chocolate by the fire, then playground time. Repeat.

Nearby Things To Do (Rhinelander & beyond)

Hodag Park — Picnic by the water, catch a community concert, or watch a sunset over Boom Lake.

Rhinelander Brewing Company — Order a flight, grab merch, and toast the Northwoods.

Pioneer Park Historical Complex — Explore Northwoods logging history and local lore with the kids.

Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest — Hike mellow loops, look for wildlife, or snowshoe after fresh snowfall.

Hodag Country Festival (July) — A summer staple for live country music fans. Plan early if your dates overlap.

Tips for Cabintimers

Bring properly sized life jackets for everyone. Wisconsin requires wearable PFDs for all watercraft. Launch early or later in the day for prime fishing and calm paddling; midday is made for the beach. Visiting in shoulder seasons? Ask about pet-friendly stays and the latest snowmobile trail updates.

Book Direct and Save

Skip third-party fees. Speak with local owners who know the lake, the fish, and the best trailheads. Check availability and send questions straight to the team:

Waterpark Thrills and Pine-Scented Chills: Stay with Due North Vacation Homes in Wisconsin Dells

Cabintimers, welcome to Wisconsin Dells—the Waterpark Capital of the World—where roller-coaster screams echo off sandstone cliffs and quiet forests wait just a few backroads away. Due North Vacation Homes puts you in the sweet spot between splash-filled action downtown and the soothing hush of towering pines.

Lazy Elk Lodge sleeps 12 in five roomy bedrooms and keeps everyone entertained with dual 55-inch smart TVs, a live-edge dining table, Wi-Fi, and a downstairs game room loaded with ping-pong, golf-pong, ring-toss, and foosball. Outside, sip coffee on the front porch, toss a volleyball, sway in the hammock, then cap the night with s’mores by the firepit.

Bear Paw Lodge is built for bigger crews—room for 14 across five bedrooms—and mirrors its sister home’s long list of perks: grassy yard games, hammock naps, charcoal grilling, and a crackling fire circle under whip-poor-will serenades.

Both homes ditch third-party fees, so you keep the cash that would have padded someone else’s pocket. Book direct and save hundreds—plus you get local tips straight from the owners.

Step off the porch and choose your adventure. Race down seven aerial runs at Bigfoot Zipline Tours, pilot a WWII-era Duck boat across land and river, or glide a kayak through Mirror Lake’s sandstone narrows. Winter isn’t sleepy either; Cascade Mountain’s ski lifts sit just fifteen minutes south, promising downhill fun and kids-ski-free deals.

After a day out, return to your Due North retreat. Firewood pops. Stories flow. Stars crowd the sky. That’s Cabin Time.

Ready to lock in your dates? Skip the middleman, talk to the folks who know these woods best, and start counting down to check-in.

Lakefront Living, Three Ways: Pick Your Perfect Oscoda, MI Cabin on the Sand. A RentMichiganCabins.com Partner Since 2019!

Lake Huron’s sunrise coast is calling, and Coast 2 Coast – Vacation Rentals and Real Estate near Oscoda offers three shoreline retreats so every group of Cabintimers can grab front-row seats to the waves. Each cabin is perched on a broad ribbon of private sand with nothing but lake breeze between you and the water. Pack the cooler, kick off your shoes, and decide which style suits your crew.

The Super-Cute Lake Huron 2-Bedroom Cabin is big on comfort for smaller groups. Inside, knotty-pine walls frame an open living room that flows into a well-stocked kitchenette—coffee maker and wine glasses included. A queen bedroom pairs with a twin-over-full bunk room to sleep five. Step out to 100 feet of level lawn, a shared bonfire ring, and that soft-sand beach that makes stargazing effortless.

Traveling with the whole family tree? Spread out in the Lake Huron Beachfront 3-Bed, 2-Bath Vacation Home. This knotty-pine classic sleeps up to twelve between a king suite, multiple doubles, and a pair of sleeper sofas. Two full baths keep mornings smooth. Friends gravitate to the glassed-in sun porch—high-top table for six, cushy lounge seating for six more—before drifting outside to grill dinner or chase the kids along the shoreline. Boat-and-trailer parking makes it easy to launch toys in Oscoda’s clear water.

Craving a couples’ retreat or a solo recharge? The Rustic & Cozy 1-Bedroom Cabin keeps things simple and sweet. A queen bed and sleeper sofa handle up to four guests, while a compact yet complete kitchenette covers the essentials. Pour your morning brew at the picnic table, watch gulls skim the shallows, and let lake rhythms set the pace.

What to explore beyond the sand

Northern Sands sits between Oscoda and Harrisville, two small towns loaded with local flavor—think café breakfasts, gift shops, and friendly taverns. Paddle a stretch of the Au Sable River, climb the steps at Lumberman’s Monument, or snap a lighthouse selfie at Tawas Point. Golf courses weave through the pines, while the Wurtsmith Air Museum tells the region’s aviation story. When twilight glows lavender over Lake Huron, spark a campfire and let the Milky Way steal the show.

Why Cabintimers book direct

Skip the middleman fees and talk straight to Vicki and Al at Coast 2 Coast. Their local know-how unlocks hidden beaches, supper-club favorites, and the best spots for fall color. Every listing features transparent rates, a quick inquiry form, and responsive hosts who treat guests like neighbors.

Ready to wiggle your toes in Lake Huron sand? Visit each property website today, pick your favorite cabin, and lock in your shoreline stay. Life is better when it’s Cabin Time®.
