About this property

Waterfront Modernized Rustic Log Cabin on Indian Lake, Manistique, MI

  • The perfect nearly 100-year-old waterfront log cabin, Baapi Makwa (Laughing Bear) Cabin#2 in Sunset View Resort, a small five-cabin rental community on two acres. This is a classic old time up north experience. Read all information before booking.

    Things that are specific to the cabin:
    We attempt to be as sustainable as possible. In effort to keep originality, we are not your typical experience. We patronize local shops, stores and small businesses for all needs from furniture to sheets and towels that vary in colors and styles. We also do not use pesticides or herbicides on the property. Cabin water is from a flowing artesian well and is the cleanest, tastiest water! Again, we attempt to be as sustainable as possible.

    Rustic in look with modern amenities, i.e. WiFi, on-demand hot water, and streaming 50-inch T.V., adult/teen/child books, and games are available. Spend the day fishing, swimming, or relaxing, the evening star gazing, bon fire or fire in the original hand built stone fireplace. A 12-foot aluminum fishing boat with oars and life jackets is on site.

    Two designated parking spots are directly in front of the cabin. Trailers, haulers, etc may be unloaded at the cabin and then moved to parking near the entrance. Watercrafts are to be brought in every evening due to rapidly changing weather on a large lake. All grounds and fire pit are for community use. The gas grill is located on the cement pad. Bring your own fishing poles and beach towels-yes bath towels ARE provided! No pets. No AC. Cabin is 620 sq ft. Sleeps 8. 1 Queen (Main BRM), 1 full sofa bed (Living Rm), 4 twins (2nd BRM and sunroom). Guests may bring a boat only under 20 ft length due to lake depth/dock placement. Cabin is cleaned by local professional company after each stay. Property lines are clearly marked and are to be adhered to. The cabin electrical can not support high amperage devices ex: CPAP, Dialysis, blow dryers etc. Please understand the uniqueness of staying in a place like ours!

Nice location. Enjoyed the deck, hammock, firepit and being on the lake. Took the boat on the lake and fished. Cabin is small and cozy. Beds are comfortable. Has everything needed - dishes, coffee pot, towels, etc. Outside has mayflies and needed to be washed. Kristin was very responsive with texts and was nice.

Enjoyed our stay

Our family really enjoyed our trip to the U.P. This cabin is right on the water and the kids loved it! They enjoyed the beach area there and kayak’s they provided between the weather that wouldn’t cooperate to go fish. The mosquitoes and the may flies are bad this time of year. But over all would recommend this place!

Cute, rustic cabin w/ amazing sunsets.

Lovely, cozy cabin in the UP. Kitchen has everything you'll need for your stay. Great location and easy drives to state parks in the area and day trips all over the UP. BEAUTIFUL sunsets on the lake and close to Lake Michigan for some fun in the waves! All neighbors were very nice. Good fishing on the lake. Would stay here again. Thanks for letting us use your cabin!

Scenic, Serene, and Musty

The view from the property is gorgeous. The cabin had about everything a tenant would need. The location is convenient. I would caution anyone with physical limitations, this cabin is challenging, especially the very low toilet seat.

Kristen is such a class act. Thank you for an amazing stay. Definitely rustic….but everything you need is there. The views are fantastic. Very quiet. Stars at night were amazing! Did a great campfire and watched the sunsets. Swam with our dog many nights. Sandy shallow bottom….we were able to tire her out. Close to town and parks. We are planning on going back!

Exactly what we were looking for

Easy check in. Property exactly as described. I was surprised at the amount of 'extras' that were provided! However our timing & Michigan weather being what it is, we did not use any of the watercraft or the corn hole boards that were available. Sunsets are beautiful! And the water... I'm talking drinking water... ice cold & wonderful. We found out from a neighbor that it was from an artisian well! This was a great place to unplug & relax! Will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay in the lovely vintage cabin. Everything we needed was there. Would have appreciated a heads up about swimmer's Itch so we could have enjoyed the lake since that's a large portion of going to the cottage. Was a interesting week with more than a few challenges: but not due to hosts, just out of anyone's control
