About this cabin rental
Nestled in the Marl Bay on Douglas Lake, the Loon Lodge is located near one of four Loon nests monitored by the University of Michigan Biological Station.
17 miles of undeveloped shoreline maintained by U of M on the 3,700 acre lake helps to create a peaceful place for wildlife and human visitors to rest.
Spend the day exploring the lake by kayak, canoe, or paddle board. Enjoy a good book by the lake or take a half mile walk to Bessey Nature Preserve where Lancaster Creek feeds into Douglas Lake.
By night, catch the Northern Lights or the Milky Way Galaxy from the dock while a fire crackles on the shore.
The Loon Lodge is a cozy 1940’s whole log cabin that has been updated & renovated while honoring it’s historical character.
There are two bedrooms (pony walls) each featuring a queen bed. There is also a sleeping loft with a full and twin bed, while a futon is available in the living room for extra sleeping.
A full kitchen, bathroom and living room finish the space, plus an enclosed porch on the lakeside for sipping your morning coffee.
The cabin is best for a couple or single family with kids. Please note that this property does not have Wi-Fi but does have excellent cell service for a hot spot.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
This place was perfect for our travels. It did fit 6 of us for sleep and having breakfast and dinner at the big kitchen table! We did enjoy our stay here. Much of our time was spent outside of the house. Kayaks were available for us to explore the lake as much as we could. Mackinaw city is a short drive. Lovely, thankyou.

The location is about 25 minutes from Mackinaw City or Cheboygan (Walmart, groceries). Douglas lake is gorgeous, and feels remote, peaceful, secluded, quiet. However, we were not far from all of the area attractions. The dock is aging, and a bit flimsy in parts. The cabin is adorable, comfortable and cutely decorated. The only complaint is that the shower did not drain properly (slightly slanted ) causing yuck to collect in one corner. Towels are provided which is nice, but with a family of 5, could have used an extra hand towel during the week to swap out. Note that there is no laundry facility on site. Also, note that the bedroom walls are more like partitions, so there really wasn’t privacy in terms of noise. We loved the location and overall the cabin was great. I would absolutely recommend this property.
