Cabin #3 - "Tamarack"

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.

This cabin is 490 sq ft and sleeps a family of 6 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 18’x7’ enclosed porch overlooking the lake is the perfect spot for an evening card game with friends.

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.

Amazing little cabin
We really enjoyed our stay and would 100% stay here again. The cabins are old and do need some work, but our overall experience was amazing. The view is great and super peaceful to sit out at night or wake up to in the morning. My kids absolutely loved it here too so that is an added bonus! Definitely recommend! And Richie was super friendly and a great host!

Great cabin for guy’s weekend
Really good location. Right on Carp Lake where you can view some great sunsets. Also a short drive to Wilderness State Park. Cabin was super nice and even had wifi and a smart TV. It was a perfect place for guy’s weekend. The owner Ritchie was very nice. Would recommend like others have said to bring extension cords or power strips if you think you’ll be using them as outlets are limited. But we really enjoyed our stay and will most likely be back.

Cozy cabin great view
Right on Carp Lake! Relaxing porch is a few feet from the water! Two convenient restaurants very close with great food. Perfect for day trips to Mackinaw Island and Whitefish Point. Not fancy. Bring extention cords as no outlets in the bedrooms. Bathroom needs an update. Cement floor. Loved our 2 night stay!

Beautiful lake views perfect for star gazing and sunrises. Rustic not fancy but clean and comfy.
Really enjoyed this rustic find. Would recommend bringing your own soap and K cups. Would have loved wood for the fire pit. Just a couple of small upgrades would be nice.

Nice waterfront
We really enjoyed our stay in the vintage cabin. It really is charming and quaint. Our favorite part is the screened in porch and we spent our time on the porch or at the waterfront. Very nice little lake. Very relaxing.

Great Stay in Paradise!!!
Great little rustic cabin. Amazing location just feet from the lake(not that we got in the frigid water!!:) ) Easy drive to Mackinaw City and Bridge where we found great food. Will have to come back in warmer weather sometime so we can also enjoy the lake.
