About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

- And as always, we never charge Host, Cleaning, Pet (up to two dogs), or Extra Guest fees!

This 2000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, lodge style home, is nestled amidst towering hardwoods and features fantastic views of Cedar Lake. Knotty pine, log beams, ceramic tile and a cozy fireplace adorn the interior. Watch the wildlife roam through the yard on your 100' of private *frontage on Cedar Lake. The home is also designed with family fun in mind with separate areas for adults and little ones alike.

Cedar Lake is a beautiful, peaceful No Wake fishing lake so it's perfect for those morning coffee kayak trips, fishing with the family or just being plain lazy. Off the beaten path yet right in the center of one of Northern Michigan's most desired vacation destination spots. You're only minutes from such areas as Empire, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor and Old Mission.

Cedar Lake Lodge is open all year long and offers a wide variety of activities for every season.

Home includes the use of a **free pontoon boat w/10 gal free fuel, (Memorial week til early October), Floating Aqua-Play-Mat (Memorial Week thru Labor Day Week), kayaks (May 1st til Nov 1st), and row boat(April 1st til Nov 15th), dock (Mid-May til Nov 1st).

- Fireplace available Thanksgiving - April 1st.

- For our winter guests we recommend bringing an all-wheel-drive vehicle or at the very least a front wheel drive with good snow tires.

*Frontage is typical northern Michigan soft sediment (mucky) bottom, great for fishing, but definitely not sandy!

**As a FREE bonus to our guests in our summer months, we offer you the use of one of a pontoon boats. They are nothing special. They are clean and well maintained. They range in size from 18-24ft. They range in age from 20-30 years old w/2stroke motors ranging from 25 - 35 hp. While these boats may not fulfill the boating dreams of some people, they are perfect for a sunset cruise or a family fishing outing. We even supply you with 10 gallons of pre-mixed gasoline!. To get the most enjoyment from these boats it is recommended that person with a knowledge of boating and two stroke motors be involved operating them. If not we do have full instructions, and technical assistance available if necessary. See photo of typical pontoon boat.

---- Also we provide a starter supply of paper/soap products which should be enough for a typical 2 night stay for smaller groups of 2 - 4 people. For a complete list of "what is provided" and "things to bring", check out "Using the property”, on your “My Trip” page.

- There are neighbors, so no parties or events.

Wonderful weekend

Had a group of 8 for a bachelorette weekend. The house had plenty of space in the house and outdoors for parking 5 vehicles. The location was great for going into downtown Traverse City for shopping and doing wine tours. Very peaceful!! Went kayaking every morning!

Beautiful cabin at a lake

The cabin was great for my family and centrally located for all the stops we wanted to make on our vacation (Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Fish Town, and lighthouses). We had our morning cup of coffee on the balcony and enjoyed the view. We saw loons and heard an owl during our stay. The kids loved swimming and kayaking in the lake. Would love to go back next year.

Pool sharks Getaway

My family came for a short cousins get away for March break which included time at Great Wolf Lodge. We wanted to stay somewhere we could have family time, share meals, play games and have a relaxing and spacious place to spend our downtime (we can get on each others nerves lol). This cabin was so nice and had everything we needed from the bedrooms, to multiple bathrooms, and a basement living area perfect for hanging out and playing pool (which the kids absolutely loved!). We came in the late winter/spring and would definitely come again. Sounds like this place is amazing during the summer time too!

Birthday cabin get away

I complained about driving 4hrs away to come to this cabin lol, but let me tell you! The moment we entered the cabin, we fell in love! This Trip was soooooo amazing! The cabin was clean and the kitchen was fully equipped. I can't say enough about my birthday vacation here. I did not want to go back home lol. And last but not least, Liz was very welcoming and communication was smooth and prompt. We will definitely rent here again. 🎉❤️

Heaven in the woods!

We stayed here October 12-17 and the fall colors were absolutely beautiful. We needed some time away to disconnect from everything. This place was perfect. It is nestled in the woods on the lake. I can't express in words how beautiful it is in person. Our hostess was also quick to answer any questions we had. Do not hesitate to book this one. We drove 14 hours to stay here and wouldn't hesitate to do it again!

Joe’s 60th Celebration!

Cedar Lake was the perfect venue for our celebration. We packed in the fun with tubing at Mt Holiday, Dinner at McGees, Casino Visit. Shopping in TC and a spa day! Host was responsive and immediately had a tv replaced that wasn’t operational. My only concern was how cold the lower level was especially at night for those sleeping in that space. Another electric fireplace would be a great addition. Thank you !

Family Thanksgiving

First trip as a family with adult children. So relaxing and the house was beautiful. Scenery was amazing to wake up to with the large windows overlooking the lake. Everything needed to make a thanksgiving meal was available. Within about 30 minutes of fun activities, like black Friday shopping, climbing the dunes, and the casino. Highly recommend and would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake. We had phone service, even though the house was in the woods. Dish network for movie time. Everyone seemed very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

We enjoyed our stay and wished we had a couple more days. This is a very quiet and peaceful property that is about 20 min drive from TC. It’s on a dirt trail so it is very dark at night. This is perfect for a relaxing getaway.

Excellent Time

Cabin was very clean & comfortable, with easy access from local highway. Description on web-site was very accurate. The property is very well maintained with a short trail to the lake that has a dock, Kayaks & Pontoon boat. Great central location - close to TC, Lake Ann, Glen Arbor & Lake Michigan. Everyday was filled with something different to do or a different place to go to. Lake Ann is near by and has a great boutique coffee shop, an excellent little restaurant, and a craft brewery with Live entertainment on the weekends. If you need anything a full service Grocery Store with Deli only a few minutes away in Interlochen.

Annual family getaway

Every year we pick a different part of our beautiful state to explore. This property made it easy to rest, relax, and check out the area. The house was a great spot to chill out and listen to the birds. There was a feisty squirrel that visited a few times. It was comfortable when we all hung out together and spacious enough for us all to spread out.
