Lake Missaukee for Cabintimers: Sandy Shorelines, Two Fire Pits, and Boat-Ready Fun with Talsma Vacation Rentals. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2017!

If your crew has been craving a lake place where everyone actually fits under one roof—and right on the beach—Talsma Vacation Rentals in Lake City, Michigan delivers. These lakefront homes sit on the south side of 1,900-acre, all-sports Lake Missaukee, about 15 minutes from Cadillac. Each home has its own sandy stretch, a private dock, and not one but two campfire rings—one near the house and another right on the beach—so the s’mores keep going long after sunset. Pontoon and Jet Ski rentals are available through Talsma, so Cabintimers can step from the deck to the dock and be cruising in minutes.

Why Cabintimers love these three lakefront homes

“Jennings” – 8 bedrooms, up to 24 guests: More than 5,000 square feet of gathering space and a roomy ¾-acre lot mean cousins, grandparents, and friends can all spread out without losing that together-time vibe. Walk into a game-friendly rec room with an air-hockey table, then head to the main floor’s open kitchen/dining/living area that faces the water. Outside, a lakeside patio with a gas grill sets the stage for cookouts, and the beach is shallow and swimmer-friendly.

“Arbutus” – 6 bedrooms, up to 15 guests: Built with big family vacations in mind, Arbutus offers 80 feet of sandy frontage and dining space for the whole crew—seating up to 15. A beach-side entry leads into a laundry area with a second fridge (so the lake snacks never run out). Rainy day? Slip downstairs to the TV/game room.

“Tranquility” – 4 bedrooms, up to 12 guests: This log-cabin-feel home pairs a cozy main-level living area with a lake-view deck, plus a lower-level family room with air hockey. The beach has those classic “big log” seats around the fire pit, and the shallow water is a win for little swimmers.

All three homes are pet-free and smoke-free, Wi-Fi and A/C equipped, and stocked with linens, towels, a propane grill, and family-friendly gear like a Pack ’n Play and high chair—less packing, more playing. Each property includes a dock, and Talsma’s watercraft rentals (two 22’ pontoons and a Jet Ski) are available for your full stay.

When to book & what to expect

Lakefront summer weeks are popular on Missaukee. Talsma begins taking the following summer’s lakefront reservations on October 1. Peak season requires a 7-night, Saturday-to-Saturday stay, and you’ll sign a simple rental agreement with a refundable deposit at check-in if everything looks good at departure.

Local tips from a “Cabin Time” point of view

Plan a beach-to-trail day by hopping over to William Mitchell State Park in Cadillac—great for kayaking between lakes, fishing from the pier, or wandering the Heritage Nature Trail at the Carl T. Johnson Hunting & Fishing Center (lantern-lit snowshoe hikes in winter are a treat). Afterward, grab a bite in Cadillac’s lakefront district or sample craft brews before you head back for sunset on Missaukee.

Visiting in winter? Keep an eye on conditions and carve turns at Caberfae Peaks (Michigan’s classic ski hill) and then retreat to your lake house for board games by the fire.

Thinking About a #Northern #Wisconsin Getaway This Summer?

When you think UP NORTH, think Wisconsin. Wisconsin may be known for the beer and cheese but that isn’t all it’s famous for. The people are welcoming, the fish are biting, the sweet-smelling pines are whistling, and the wildlife peeking out from their burrows. Northern Wisconsin offers anything a person can ask for.

For the outdoor adventurer, there is nothing short of things to do in Wisconsin. The Cable area has been nationally ranked by CNN and the American Hiking Society as owning some of the best hiking trails in the nation. This could be because of the uninterrupted landscape of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. In some areas you can even see Lake Superior. These trails are also traveled by mountain bikers.

If the sound of waves and running water can instantly calm you, you’re in for a treat. Wisconsin boasts over 14,000 lakes and northern Wisconsin has some of the best beaches. Visit Lake Superior and you will never need to leave the state again for a vacation. You can go boating, fishing, surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, swimming, frolicking or really just about anything you want to do in the water, you can do it here.

Eagle River cabins (city is named appropriately due to the popular sightings of eagles), offers a great family vacation spot for summer months in the upper Midwest.

Winter in Wisconsin will never be unmatched. Ice fishing, snowmobiling, and skiing are all wonderful activities to do. You don’t know winter until you’ve been there. Ice shanties scattered among the lakes, families enjoying their catch at the dinner table and follow up with roasting marshmallows around a fire.
