Welcome to your log cabin retreat nestled on 1.5 acres of serene woodland in Beulah, Michigan. Just a 2-minute walk from your doorstep, unwind on your private deck overlooking the Platte River—perfect for fishing, sipping coffee, or enjoying the tranquil water. Wade into the shallows to cool off or launch your kayak or canoe for a peaceful paddle. For a guided adventure, or drop off/pick up, enjoy a trip with one of the several nearby rental companies.

Within minutes, explore Northern Michigan’s best: hiking, kayaking, float tubing, fishing, golf, spa treatments, outdoor movies, concerts, skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating. After a day of adventure, relax with a movie, board game or book, or whip up a meal in the fully equipped kitchen. For a night out, visit local restaurants, catch a concert at Interlochen Center for the Arts, sip at the tiki bar/igloo ice bar (at nearby Tipsy Canoe Rental & Brew), or enjoy the nostalgic drive-in movie theater.
