A beautiful log cabin home on Lake Huron, amazing 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. road 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 for reunions, couples looking for a private getaway, friends groups. It's an out-of-the-way intimate and romantic nest to spend some quality time with their mate. 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

Quiet retreat
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.

Cozy Cottage - Fantastic Stay!
We loved this cozy cottage just off the shores of Lake Huron and will absolutely be back. The walking trail and beach are just a short walk down the steps to the lake and the cozy fireplace inside made for very cozy nights with a book and games. It was clean, well stocked and the hosts were great at their communication! If you're not a fan of taxidermy, this is not your place but we loved it and can't wait to come back in the winter when the snow is flying and we can walk the trail in snowshoes. Easy check in and out and friendly hosts. HIGHLY recommend!

Wanna disconnect, unwind and take a breath from the daily routine?
This was the PEFECT spot to disconnect from technology. Only a short drive from Cheboygan to the north and an adorable Orchard to the south. Views of Lake Huron were breathtaking, even enjoyed the sun set and moon rise in the same setting. The cabin was rustic, warmly decorated and reminded me of my childhood visits to the U.P. Hot tub was perfect for two, hot, clean and right outside the back door with views of the fall foliage and Lake Huron. A definite return for us. Thank you for sharing your home.

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!

A Wonderful, Relaxing Week in Northern Michigan
We had an absolutely wonderful time. Dale was helpful and communicative. The amenities were wonderful, the loft bedroom has some wonderful views (along with the back deck of course). The hot tub was great for the cooler evenings and the place was well stocked for cooking. Well located to get to the UP and other Northern Michigan experiences. Ocqueoc Falls was a highlight for us. Loved that there was very good A/C and pet friendly!

Good Times!
We had a great time, as usual. This is our family’s 5th or 6th visit to the lodge and it did not disappoint! We love the private location, private beach, authentic “Up North” feel, beautiful scenery/views and the thoughtful details that make it an “easy” vacation destination. Most everything you need is there and the host is very responsive and available. Highly recommend. We love McIntosh Lodge!

Perfect Cabin on Lake Huron
The McIntosh Solitude Lodge is the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and soak in the Michigan vibes. Its location is perfect for exploring Northern Michigan, the Upper Peninsula, or Mackinac Island. Nestled in the woods, the lodge offers a stunning view of Lake Huron and is meticulously maintained. Dale, the host, was super attentive and easy to reach. The property comes well-equipped with everything you need, including extras like a hot tub and pool table. We're definitely coming back!

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.
