About this property

Entire place

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

Kayaks! PONTOON BOAT! gameroom! FLOATING AQUA-PLAY-MAT! Pool table.

- 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.

Peaceful Lake Stay
Very quiet, relaxing stay. The house was better than expected from the photos and everything we needed was already there. Charcoal grill was very modern and great for cooking. We had a great time kayaking around the lake and the fishing was great!

Great Stay!
We had a great stay! It was a little cold for the first few hours waiting for the house to warm up with the gas fireplace. We really enjoyed the game room and pool table. Loved looking out to the lake every morning and hearing the loons. The house is in a quiet area and peaceful. Overall it was a great stay!

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!

Destination Wedding
We stayed for a week at the end of October for a family wedding in the area. The colors were beautiful and the cabin was a cozy home away from home during all the festivities! We had plenty of room and enjoyed the fire pit and the deck when the weather allowed. We would love to come back during the summer to enjoy the lake!

Everything was amazing! The fact that you get a boat with the cabin is over the top! Everything was great! Only compliant/ downside to the property/ area is no wifi and barely any cell service. Other than that everything was great!

Beautiful Cedar Lake Lodge
Beautiful home, beautiful surroundings and close to all kinds of fun things to do and places to explore for children and adults. We enjoyed the kayaks and pontoon boat numerous times. We adopted “Brook”, our own personal duck 😊. Check-in was a breeze. We would love to come back for another family reunion.

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!

Amazing House and Fishing
This house is amazing!! Relaxing and in a wooded serene setting but with the amenities of Traverse City and Glen Arbor near by! We had the best time fishing, taking pontoon boat rides, and making sore over the evening fire! The house had everything that we needed, was spacious and VERY clean and quiet! Highly recommend this property!

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.

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. 🎉❤️

Great stay at turtle lake
We overall had a really great stay. The location was great as was the fishing. We were even able to catch a northern pike off the dock. The kids renamed it turtle lake as they counted an average of 8 from the dock every night, including really large snapping turtles. Given that and the amount of reeds nobody in our group was willing to go in the water but Taylor park Beach is nearby for swimming and we highly recommend it. If it had 2 more kayaks it would be prefect for a family. We had a lot of fun and wouldc stay again.

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.

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 !

Peaceful Retreat
A great place for both solitude and activity. The kids enjoyed sledding down the small slopes on the property as well as sitting by the fire in the evening. There was fun playing pool and watching videos as well as playing board games that were available. It was a nice touch having a Christmas tree already there upon arrival! Nice little fireplace in the living room. Kitchen was spacious and well supplied. Loved having sleeping quarters on different levels of the home. Lizzie was very responsive to all my questions. This was a fabulous get away for my family. Many fond memories were made on this trip. What a pleasurable experience!

2021 Girls Deer Camp Weekend and no we are not hunting deer. :)
Every year when the guys go hunting us women get away for the weekend also. We are hunting but it’s not for deer. Usually we go to a particular casino but this year we wanted something different. We cannot say enough good things about this property or the owners. It was a very easy process from start to finish. Anytime I emailed the host she responded quickly. The property was well maintained and very nicely decorated and very very clean It was inviting and you seriously felt at home. Due to the weather ( rained everyday) we didn’t get to sit by the lake and have bonfires and enjoy the view, but none the less it was a great time. Thanks again for helping us have an amazing weekend. 💙💛
