Cabin #7 - "Waugoshance"

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. This 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 9’x6’ enclosed porch overlooking the lake is the perfect spot to watch the fishing boats go out during the morning sunrise.

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.

Give Waugoshance a Chance :)
We rented this property to be near Mackinaw City for the Labor Day Bridge Walk. It was perfect! The cabin is rustic and quaint. Certainly wish we would have been able to stay longer! Property owner was very welcoming! Steps from the lake - beautiful sunset!

The location was exactly what we needed, However the red painted cement floors were not good on our white socks. The shower is a bit small, and the kitchen needs better Accommodations for silverware and knives. Other then that things were fine.

Relaxing, beautiful spot to unwind
Everything was so easy! The minute we exited the car we were greeted by the wonderful sweet smell of nature. The lahe is beautiful and watching the canoes and pontoon boats and water skiers filled our days. Loved this spot! Exactly as described.

Even though this is billed as a fish camp it lacked in basic cleaning. Quiet and beautiful view!

Great little rustic cabin
Great location in close proximity to many things to do. The cabin was perfect and as described. Ah the basics you need are there, but I would recommend being the things the owner recommends. We would definitely stay again should we ever be in the area again. The pet policy is excellent also. Traveling with a giant breed has it's challenges and it was great we were able to bring both our dogs.

Looks like there were some upgrades since the last time we stayed, made it so much more comfortable! The only complaint is the gas fireplace rattled like crazy every time it kicked on, it was super loud. Didn’t ruin the weekend and we look forward to the next visit!

Great location. VERY rustic.
We had a great weekend away for my birthday Thurs-Sun in August. The location right on the water, little dock, boat ramp right next door, was awesome. The general store and little bar/restaurant are within walking distance too! The only downs-falls we had with the place, yes we knew it was rustic and we were prepared for an older, rustic, outdoorsy cabin Up North. However, cleanliness really fell short here. We had to Clorox everything from the counters to the refrigerator. There are a ton of spider webs and spiders all over the cabin. The entire cabin floors have been demoed and there is only concrete, dirty, dusty, sandy concrete. We couldn’t put anything on the floors and wore sandals our entire stay throughout the house except for when getting into bed. Overall we really did love the location and access to the water but as far as transparency about the condition of the cabin, we felt that fell short. We could have been a little more prepared for something like that, ESPECIALLY for the price. They don’t add up.

Interesting
The cabin was cute, back screen door was damaged, floor was dirty, sandy, utensils plates dirty. The water was scalding hot. The lake was awesome. We will not stay there again. We were sad.
