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.

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.

Peace and quiet

If your truly looking for a relaxing vacation . This cabin is simply beautiful and the surrounding landscape with the woods and the lake within view of the back deck is amazing . The host was very nice . And easy to contact . Having the pontoon boat was great . The lake is beautiful . We travel the country and stay in cabins deep in the woods and this cabin is the most beautiful we have ever stayed in . Thank you Lizzie for a very relaxing vacation ! William and Loretta Smith

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!

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!

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.

Amazing cabin!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.
