A beautiful log cabin home on Lake Huron, amazing lake views, hot tub, game room
We have a hidden jewel waiting for you in Cheboygan, the McIntosh Solitude Lodge. It is a beautiful rustic log cabin overlooking Lake Huron. It's about 10 minutes east of town and right on US Hwy 23. The winding 450 ft. driveway that takes you to the cabin through beautiful woods affords privacy and envelops you in Nature! When you arrive, it looks like any other log cabin, but one look inside and you will be amazed at the solid-wood (knotty cedar) interior! There are 4 bedrooms and 2 baths; 2200 sq ft of beautiful lodge style living space. There is a loft bedroom containing a queen bed and ensuite bath. Two bedrooms are on the main floor, one with a full bed and the second with twin bunk beds, perfect for the kids in your party. The lower level bedroom also has a full bed. The main level incorporates a large living/dining area along with an open kitchen. The view of the lake is spectacular from here. The family/game room is on the lower level, along with a laundry room. Sliding glass doors lead to the hot tub, fire pit , outdoor dining area, and stairway to the beach. There are two beautiful porches on the cabin. The back porch looks out over an ever-changing panorama of one of the great views of the great lakes. Who goes to the McIntosh Lodge? Families, couples looking for a private getaway, a small group of friends. It's an out-of-the-way intimate and romantic nest to spend some quality time. Many guests come back annually to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. The common thread of all our guests is a desire for privacy, time apart from the maddening pace of life and looking for a splendid way to recharge batteries. The cabin is about 400 feet from the water, and the sound of the waves at night will lull you to sleep very quickly. The trail down to the beach is a wonderful 1-minute nature walk, the beach stretches as far as you can see in either direction. The lake is perfect for sunning, reading a book in a beach chair, rock collecting and hopping into the crystal-clear waters whenever you want!
Best wishes from us both, Dale and Kirsten

The cabin and lake are both beautiful. The owner was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice quiet getaway on lake huron.
Beautiful, clean, great views, easy check in, fantastic host with great communication and so much more! 5 stars all around, would stay again in a heartbeat!
We stayed for a long weekend and had a great time. Easy check in process, clean cabin, right on the lake with tons of amenities- hot tub, pool, ping pong, board games, and more. Will definitely be staying again!
We had a great week enjoying the area and the cabin facilities exceeded our expectations. The host was most attentive and helpful with ideas for activities.
Host (Dale) delightful, great communicator. The house and location were perfect! Very clean. Has everything you need to have a wonderful weekend up north. We will be going back soon.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend together at this well laid out and secluded cabin. Was also conveniently located near a few restaurants, gas stations and a Walmart in case we needed to run out and pick up something.
The views of Lake Huron and wooded area around cabin was very nice.
Our family had a wonderful stay! We enjoyed the hot tub and playing pool. It was also fun watching the freighters pass. The views are amazing! Would definitely recommend.
My family and I were looking for a getaway on one of the Great Lakes to recover from the hectic holiday season and this home checked off all of our boxes! Cozy and comfortable, Lake Huron views, and the game room and hot tub were just what we needed. The kitchen is very nicely stocked with pans and small appliances so meal prep is easy.We look forward to returning in the future!
We spent several days here reconnecting as a family. The views were great, we enjoyed the direct lake access, spent some time enjoying the hot tub and the game room was so much fun, a definite bonus for this home! Our host was excellent and provided some great advice for things to do in the area. 100% would stay here again!
Very pleased with the cabin. My friends and I found plenty to do, between the hot tub, fusball, puzzles, and easy access to Lake Huron for strolls on the beach. Cheboygan was pleasant and had some solid restaurants too, and the state park has nice and easy trails.
The cabin was beautiful with an amazing view! It had all the amenities needed while staying. The downstairs game room, outside firepit and hot tub were a bonus. We were blessed to be able to see the northern lights during our stay. Communication was great from the property manager as well. I'd definitely return to this cabin!
The entire experience at this property was incredible. The home and property are exceptional. The owner does a great job overall. Impressive views as well.
This was our second stay here and it was incredible. It is so peaceful and relaxing here. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and listening to the waves. Dale is a wonderful host and everything was very clean both times we stayed here. We will be back again.
