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! 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 and 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.

Great little rustic cabin

We had an enjoyable stay at the cabin. I grew up in the atea and am very familiar with the location, so although I had never been back by this group of cabins before, I knew the general location would be wonderful to stay in. The view is gorgeous here, especially the sunsets. The water is super shallow and my kids loved walking out as far as they could. They also loved playing in the sand on the beach. We had unfortunate timing that coincided with mayfly season (for anyone unfamiliar, you will generally get that around mid-to-late-June) so that was one downside - but certainly no fault of the host’s! Just something to be aware of for anyone staying around that timeframe. We still enjoyed the fire pit and some of the outdoor amenities like bean bag toss.The cabin itself is very rustic but also very charming. The bedrooms don’t have doors, just curtains. So that’s something to be aware of, especially if you have kids that go to bed earlier than you. We had to be extra quiet and keep the lights low so as not to wake them. We were also thankful to have read in one of the reviews the recommendation to bring an extension cord for one of the bedrooms, as it didn’t have any outlets (that we could see). So we came prepared for that and were able to still have the kids’ electronic devices charging in there with them. There were some dead bugs and cobwebs in the window sills, but it wasn’t very bothersome for us.Overall we had what we needed, and it was a very enjoyable stay!

Great time

We had a great time in this rustic cabin! We had a bit of a bug problem with a resent hatch of bugs but we managed. The kids enjoyed the lake, tv and toys! We all slept pretty comfortably. The only suggestion i have, is to bring towels and washclothes. The towels there are old beach towels and there were only 2 washclothes. We made it work but it would have been nice. We loved having the ability to cook and the grociery store was close by! Overall we were very happy with our experiance!

Great location but needs better cleaning

The cabin’s location is perfect—right next to the beach, which was amazing. However, I’m giving it 3 stars because it was dirty upon arrival. As soon as we walked in, there was a musty, slightly funky smell. We also found a lot of dead flies on the floors and windows. I understand it was mosquito season, but if the cabin had been properly cleaned before our stay, there wouldn’t have been so many dead insects. The price was great for the location, but if you rent this cabin, just be aware that cleanliness is an issue.

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!

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.

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!

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!
