Cabin #4 - "Hackmatack"

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 1930'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's a kitchen with everything to cover your basic needs, a dinning space and a simple bathroom that includes a warm shower. The spacious 11’x6’ enclosed porch overlooking the lake is the perfect spot for watching children at play in the water.

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.

It was a sweet little cabin. It could use some restoration of exterior. The shower was dirty. We were unable to shower in the morning of our overnight stay.

Great little cabins!
Great little waterfront cabin! We stayed for a long weekend of playing on the water. Access to the inland waterway is only 20 minutes away. Mackinaw only 10 minutes, and a good boat launch right next door. Rustic cabin charm was awesome. Reminded me of Canadian fishing trips with my dad.

Family Reunion
Rented (4) cottages for a family reunion. All worked out great! Campfires at night, smores, pontoon rides during the day. Close to many northern and U.P attractions, making day trips easy. Old to young alike just loved the place and atmosphere. Great sunrises, sunsets and star gazing at night. Highly recommend.

Right on beautiful Lake Paradise with dock and screened in porch. Very quaint and had everything we needed. Will return as soon as we can. Great food across the street at Clyde's Place and just down the street at Harbor Light's Grill. Both in walking distance. A little peace of paradise.

Carp Lake Getaway
Very rustic. Fun place to stay. Wish the bathroom was updated, but everything worked and was fine. Great location to use as a base to visit UP locations and the Island. Beautiful sunrises over the lake. Highly recommend if you like rustic places with great character!! We would love to stay there again!!

Very happy
We stayed 1 night in October. My only complaint is that you can hear every little sound. We kept walking up because screen doors were banging. The property owner did hunt me up a fan, which helped, but we didn't sleep great. Regardless, I absolutely recommend. I bet it's a great spot in the summer.

Beautiful location
Felt very safe- and BEAUTIFUL location. The bedroom I stayed in had a window overlooking the lake- so I just rolled over to keep an eye on how the sunrise was changing and went outside to photograph at the perfect time. This is not a fancy place- but clean and very beautiful. Very easy to get to as well.

This was a wonderful property and my family and I enjoyed it very much! The owner is kind and welcoming and made us feel right at home. We really loved the view and the comfortable beds and furnishings. My sons really enjoyed being able to have a campfire outside our cabin, right on the lakeside! Although there needs to be some painting done, all in all, this was a wonderful place to stay and we are very happy to have stayed there. We'll definitely be back next year!

perfect last minute getaway!
The cabin is rustic but so charming and was perfect for a quick get away up north. It was just minutes from Mackinaw City and Wilderness State Park. Kitchen had everything we needed. We cooked dinner over the fire pit and it was amazing! Would stay again.

Wonderful Peaceful Rustic Cabin
The cabin is very rustic. Bathroom is pretty primitive by most standards. Bedrooms are very tiny. However, you know by the price that you won't be getting luxury. For the price it is a very nice getaway cabin. Great place to sit on a chair in a screened in porch and gaze out at the lakes and watch the ducks eat.
