    One of seven log cabins on Otter Lake in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula.
    Come relax and take in the quiet beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Our seven log cabins overlook Otter Lake, a 900-acre sport fishing, paddling and boating paradise. Built by Finnish settlers in the 1930s, the cabins offer full kitchens and baths, cozy comforts and traditional Scandinavian décor.

    4) Open kitchen / living / dining area
    5) Large deck overlooking the lake
    6) Full bath with shower
    7) Reserved parking next to cabin
    The cabin also includes a 12-foot aluminum boat for your use. Canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards are also available. More than 300 feet of shoreline, two docks and acres to explore!
    House Rules:
    -No children are permitted to take a boat out unless accompanied by an adult. The boat operator is responsible for any damage, accident or casualty.
    -No cleaning of fish in the cabin. There is a fish cleaning table with water, lights and waste pails behind the cabins.

Secluded and peaceful lake

A lovely rustic cabin on a peaceful lake. We stayed in cabin 3, which had two bedrooms. The cabin was clean and well equipped with amenities. A great view of the lake. A nice porch with table and chairs. There are row boats, canoes and kayaks available. We took the row boat out one evening and really enjoyed the tranquil setting. The sunrise was awesome. Definitely will teturn another time.

Enjoyed a get-a-way for our 50th Anniversary

We just wanted a quiet and beautiful spot to spend a couple days. Kolme #3 fit the bill: nice front porch with view of lake, a small but usable kitchen with cooking supplies and dishes, comfortable bed and sitting chairs, a good fan (it was hot).

Great Rustic Cabin Location

This little log cabin was a great location at the base of the Keewenaw Penisula. It was an easy drive to the Porcupine Mountains, Copper Harbor, and L'Anse. Beautiful sunrise over the lake. A no frills cabin that was a good base camp for us for three nights.

Fabulous

Exactly what we needed. A very full and relaxing week- Inviting (Christine"s special touches) clean, very comfortable original Finish (style and decor) cabin (#3). We sauned - lots!, swam, played badminton often, found the last (2) of the raspberries on the camp road, took the row boat out, played on the paddle boards, and went out in the kayaks- visited the otters, turtles, blue heron at the south end of the lake and went to town (Houghton) to bike the river trail there and eat pasties. We will be back.

Majestic views and very comfortable!

The cabins are very rustic, comfortable and laid back. The lake is Inviting. We saw numerous Bald Eagles, caught a lot of fish and even tried out the 2 person canoe provided by the resort. I highly suggest visiting the Keweenaw Bay area while staying cozy in this smaller (7 cabins) resort. 5 stars all around!
