4th of July 2025!! Family Reunion Log Cabin Lake View, Beach, Pontoon

JUST BECAME AVAILABLE 4th of July 2025!!!!

A real (great, big) log cabin in the woods, with loft, large covered porch, and private beach!

This lodge/cabin (built in 2002), is on a heavily wooded lot on Townline Lake in Big Rapids. It is a beautiful, full-log home that easily sleeps 25 in beds on three floors and 2,400 sqft two-story pole barn on the property. It has something for everyone. We've slept more than 30 comfortably, by utilizing foldout furniture, cots, and air mattresses in the spacious walkout basement.

A 10-foot-wide covered, wraparound porch provides an additional 600 sq. ft. of summer living area, with a fantastic view of the lake and the beach, fire pit, tire swing, dock, and raft. Put your feet up on the Adirondack chair footrests, or play cards and board games on the picnic table, and watch the day slip away.

The beach is sandy perfect for the babies and toddlers. We have a raft 150 feet from shore, where you can swim and play in crystal clear water away from the kids playing on the beach.

The lodge has two full fireplaces, including one with a breathtaking, 22-foot stone chimney on the main floor.

The 3,500 sq. ft. lodge has three floors. The 2,400 sq ft pole barn is located just 100 feet away with its own view of the lake via windows and balcony.

The main floor holds the kitchen, large dining table, living area, one and a half baths, and two bedrooms. The walkout basement has another large living area, with a full bath, large bedroom, utility room (small 4th bedroom) and small garage/work area. The open loft has one queen and three double beds, and several twin beds perfect for the little ones to experience cabin life. But don’t worry about noise from the first floor – that fresh air will knock you out - and the kids - the moment your head hits the pillow.

A grand piano, card table, play area, view of the lake and a small balcony are also available in the loft.

Privacy and quiet are key at this lodge, which is tucked into the woods just four miles outside of Big Rapids, Michigan.

The all-sport lake is perfect for fishing, tubing, skiing, and swimming. And with only ten houses dotted around the lake, the water is usually all yours.

A pontoon boat with fishing motor, paddleboat, paddle boards, rowboat, and kayak are all included in your rental fee. (Only between Memorial Day and Labor Day)

You can find more information and photo albums on our active “Loon Lake Lodge Vacations" Facebook page.

Great vacation!
Great vacation home. The house is beautiful and easily housed our children and grandchildren -18 total. We loved the pontoon boat and lake. The hosts were friendly and responded quickly to the one minor issue. The air conditioner stopped and was repaired by the next morning at 7 am. Many thanks for a great vacation.

Thank you Paul & Carol for our Awesome time at Loon Lake Lodge
Our family of 13 had a great time at Loon Lake Lodge from June 20-25, 2023. There were 8 adults & 5 children ages 1-9. We had LOTS of room to spread out. The grandchildren loved sleeping in the loft with their Nana & Papa. But we spent most of our time outside. There is a beautiful deck with a porch swing & a picnic table that is perfect for doing crafts (We always have two crafts for the little ones to do as a keepsake for the vacation we take together as a family every year). Most of our time was spent in the water though. They have a wonderful sandy beach area & sandy swimming area for the little ones. Many toys for them to play with, including a small slide for them to slide into the water. There was also a couple swing sets they had lots of fun on. We didn’t get a chance to enjoy campfires because of the burn ban but there was much firewood provided if we had been able to. We also enjoyed our rides on the pontoon boat. We brought our own tow raft to pull the little ones & to our surprise they also had one there for us. They had MANY water items. Our 3 older grandchildren (9,8,and 6) & our “big kids” had a great time on the paddle boards. The lake is actually quite weedy past the swimming area. But once you get through the weeds, there is a lot of clear water out by the raft, which our family also enjoyed jumping off from. We were afraid at first that the weeds might scare our grandchildren but they paddled right through them with no problem at all. We had a great week

We had a great time, as we always do at Loon Lake Lodge It was a little cold and rather rainy but that just added to the time we could spend playing games and enjoying each other company.

Loon Lake
The Loon Lake Lodge was an amazing stay. The property was full of activities on the water and inside the cabin. The cabin had something for everyone to enjoy and enough room inside to comfortably house all our guests. Whether you want to relax and enjoy a secluded stay or a large family weekend the Loon Lake Lodge will accommodate all your needs.

The cabin was great - a good place for having fun and gathering together. Wonderful big deck, which we spent a lot of time on. Great for a big family get-together. Kayaks and paddle boards both got lots of use.

Loon Lake Lodge Vacation
Our family vacations together every summer. This year we stayed at Paul & Carol's Loon Lake Lodge. Our kids said it was the best vacation yet! (Last year we had a great beach house on Tybee Island so this is saying a lot!) Loon Lake Lodge is beautiful and surrounded by God's beautiful handiwork!

Would highly recommend it for anyone wanting a family gathering .

Perfect getaway!
The property was just as described. We had a 16 guy bachelor party, that just wanted a relaxing boys weekend with some fishing and we got what we asked for! Communication with the owner was great. There are cameras that we were worried about but never did we think the owner was "spying" on us or going to stop us from doing anything during our stay. The only bad things would probably be all the pollen on the porch that we had to clean ourselves before we could use anything, and the driveway was a muddy path that could have used some more gravel. We had some guys with Corvettes and they couldn't get up half the driveway.

I absolutely loved my stay. It was so relaxing, quiet and and a joy. My favorite part was having a cup of coffee in the morning and looking at the lake, in the quiet of the morning.

Ferris State Graduation
Our family stayed the weekend at this lodge for Ferris State University graduation. The home was great and very cozy. We had a fire in the fireplace every night. They had everything we needed to be comfortable. Only recommendation would be to bring slippers/house shoes with you as the wood floors are very slippery!

Beautiful Property, Accommodating Host
A group of friends stayed at the Loon Lake Lodge for a weekend to celebrate our beautiful bride to be and it was absolutely wonderful! The house is awesome with plenty of space for guests and activities. The property is absolutely gorgeous with easy lake access, a great fire pit, and well-kept trails for walking through the woods. The wrap around porch was our favorite feature and where we spent most of our time. There was an issue with the water heater which was entirely out of Paul's control. He did everything he could to resolve the issue while we were there, but unfortunately it was a problem that required more time to resolve. Paul was very apologetic and issued a partial refund for the inconvenience which was very thoughtful and hospitable. I am grateful for his gracious hospitality and willingness to resolve the issue as best he could. Even with this minor issue, I would absolutely stay again at the Loon Lake Lodge. Thank you for a great weekend!

Awesome weekend on the lake
We had 24 guys stay here for my brother’s bachelor party and it was perfect. There was plenty of space for everybody and lots to do. The only complaint anybody had was that we stayed for two nights instead of three. I highly recommend staying here.

Amazing Stay!
Would 10/10 recommend staying at the Hillman's Loon Lake Lodge! Our group consisted of about 21 friends and couples around 26-30 of age. We get together annually for this trip and usually in different places around Michigan depending on where people are located for jobs each year. This was our first stay with the Hillmans and the whole group loved it. The lodge was large and easily accommodated our group for sleeping, as well as hanging out. We were blessed with perfect weather so we didn't hang inside too much, but if we got rained out there is a giant wrap-around covered porch, a large great room/kitchen, a large mezzanine space, a game room in the basement, not to mention a fully stocked game closet. Our favorite space was the sandy beachfront down the path from the lodge. It was after Labor Day so the pontoon wasn't available for use, but there is a public access next door that you can drop your own boats in and tie them up to the dock. The lake is not heavily populated, we were one of maybe 5-6 houses on the lake. The Hillmans provide paddle boards and kayaks that were a hit. There's plenty of fishing rods for those in your group who don't bring their own. At night, there is a fire pit near the beach with plenty of seating to end your day. Overall, fantastic stay and would 100% recommend to others. Thanks again Paul & Carol!

We come every year with the entire family. As i’ve Said in previous years, it is like going to Grandma’s house. This year was even better because we brought 90 year old Grandma Margie and she absolutely loved being with her children, grand children,and great grandchildren.

It was a great vacation home for us! Lots of kids that loved the beach and amenities offered
Thank you for everything. Home was great. We mostly used the beautiful beach area and the pontoon that was provided. The lake was very weedy in a lot of areas and the beachy sandy water only went out a little ways, after that it became a little mucky but we had a wonderful time. We would most definitely go back.

Wonderful getaway for family. Our family (14) stayed comfortably in the cabin. The kids (ages 13-5) were never bored. They were always playing with the water toys or board games or games in the house. Adequate kitchen area. Hillmans are very easy to work with. Would recommend!

Secluded legitimate log cabin cottage / home on small inland lake
The entire family enjoyed our experience at Loon Lake Lodge on Townline Lake. Owners recently installed lighted pathway from cottage to lake; very nice touch of elegance. 3 bedrooms to sleep 6-7 and additional guests sleep in open loft area. Never found the big fish but lots of little to mid size bass and pike.

The lodge was amazing! Many compliments on beauty of the home itself and all that it comes with!
The Loon Lake Lodge was the perfect fit for us! With all that is provided it made for a fun relaxing stay. The Lodge itself is beautiful and had plenty of space and activities to keep people entertained from ping pong, table hockey, and darts downstairs to relaxing on couches by the warm fire. Overall Loon lake lodge was the perfect place for my trip and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay!! Just wish the ice on the lake was a little thicker to test out the ice skates:)

Cozy for a Small Youth Group
This was our third year staying at Loon Lake Lodge, and of course we loved it again! We love the large stone fireplace, but the highlight is always doing pingpong tournaments in the basement. The Lodge is good for a smaller youth group (10-20), and we take around a dozen high school students each year for our own retreat. Sadly, the price continues to go up each year, making it harder to go back each year. If you can get enough people to split the cost, it is worth it!
