Cabin #6 - "Wapashuwi"

This Vintage Rustic cabin, primarily designed for the camping & fishing enthusiast, is just one cabin of a 7 cabin resort. This cabin was built in the early 1950's and holds every bit of that vintage character. It may be a little rough around the edges but this authentic cabin holds the wonderful allure of days gone by. Electrical outlets would have been added a few years later and air conditioning wasn’t even thought of at that time. Those details won't matter to the outdoorsy kind coming for the camping experience where lake activity fills your day and evenings are enjoyed around the campfire. This charming cabin has a knotty pine interior and all the basics to create an Up North camping style atmosphere. A lifestyle one will appreciate becoming acquainted with.

All the cabins are lined up next to each other along the shore of a beautifully serene lake. This close proximity to other cabins have traditionally created a friendly community style atmosphere where guests mingle and create lasting friendships. This is the kind of place where your grandparents brought your parents, your parent’s brought you, and you are now bringing your children to create beautiful memories while spending a nostalgic vacation in a familiar old cabin.

The listed rate reflects the price for 4 adults or a family with children up to 6 people total. Additional adults beyond 4 will incur additional charges. This cabin has a sleeping capacity up to 6 people utilizing 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size bed and a futon in the living room. There is 1 electrical outlet next to the bed in each of the bedrooms. Other electrical outlets are minimally located throughout the cabin. The cabin has a kitchen with everything to cover your basic needs, a dinning space and a simple bathroom that includes a warm shower. The spacious 10’x6’ enclosed porch overlooking the lake is the perfect area for spending a relaxing afternoon.

Whether you are looking for a home base to camp at the lake or a base camp while you explore the area’s attractions, you will enjoy this cozy cabin and all its imperfections. More than anything, you’re gonna love the authentic charm and the carefree lifestyle that comes with camping Up North.

Pets are welcome on the property for an additional fee of $25 per night / per pet, paid at time of arrival if not otherwise paid. This includes pets of your visitors to the property.

Free Parking is available for 1 vehicle per cabin. 1 boat/trailer per cabin is also free but are required to be parked in designated area elsewhere on the property. Extra vehicles require a $25 per day fee and must also be parked in a designated area elsewhere on the property. This includes vehicles of your visitors to the property.

Comfortable and rustic
Rustic cabin was perfect for a getaway with my husband and sister-in-law. Close to Makinac City with easy access to the island ferries. The cabin could use some additional updates but was fine as is.

Such a good place with just walks to lake from backyard. Could have designed the bathroom little bigger and got one more restroom. Apart from that everything is good for the little stay.

Peaceful Stay on Carp Lake
The cabin was very nice with all we needed. It was so wonderful being steps away from Carp Lake, so peaceful. Richie was very responsive and helpful. Having access to kayaks and paddle boards was fun. I would recommend this place.

Great location, misleading listing
The location is great. It's 10 minutes from the ferry and the dark sky park. And the view over the lake is beautiful. However, the cabin itself was in need of a good deep clean, particularly the shower. We also found dog hair when we swept up as required before we left. This cabin (#6) varied in several ways from the pictures in the listing: the floors were painted, peeling concrete. The patio furniture had no cushions, and the kitchen had no small shelf--we had to leave most of our bags of supplies on the floor. The bed in the back bedroom was so noisy that it was possible to hear every time someone rolled over from the other bedroom with both doors closed. But worst, there are no docks on the lake! Even the guidebook in the cabin said that there were three docks to share, but when we went to the only docks we saw, we were promptly told we were on private property not associated with the cabins. Nothing kills a relaxed vacation vibe more than being scolded by a homeowner who is understandably upset to have tourists on her dock. Later, we noticed dock pieces stacked on the shore in a few places --these must have been the ones that were supposed to be provided for the cabins.

Not as advertised
We stayed at the property for 24 hours and checked out 2 days early. Would have left sooner except it was raining. Photos must be of an updated cabin. We have photos of the actual place we stayed and it was a cement floor. No central heat, just space heaters. VERY UNHAPPY

Cool little cabin on beautiful quiet lake
We loved our stay in this cabin that had everything we needed. Rich is really genuine and friendly and helpful and makes you feel right at home. Our cabin was right on the water and we enjoyed grilling s'mores and hot dogs. Our kids loved wading in the shallow water on the jetty at our cabin. I highly recommend this place.
