Property Details

Cabin #3 - "Tamarack"
Named after a type of pine tree found in the Northern United States and Canada, this one is similarly named to it's sister cabin. With the largest enclosed porch, this 2 bedroom, 490 sq ft cabin becomes a great gathering place.

This Vintage Rustic cabin, primarily designed for the camping & fishing enthusiast, is just one cabin of a 7 cabin resort. This cabin was built in the early 1930's and holds every bit of that vintage character. It may be a little rough around the edges but this authentic cabin holds the wonderful allure of days gone by. Electrical outlets would have been added a few years later and air conditioning wasn’t even thought of at that time. Those details won't matter to the outdoorsy kind coming for the camping experience where lake activity fills your day and evenings are enjoyed around the campfire. This charming cabin has a knotty pine interior and all the basics to create an Up North camping style atmosphere. A lifestyle one will appreciate becoming acquainted with.

All the cabins are lined up next to each other along the shore of a beautifully serene lake. This close proximity to other cabins have traditionally created a friendly community style atmosphere where guests mingle and create lasting friendships. This is the kind of place where your grandparents brought your parents, your parent’s brought you, and you are now bringing your children to create beautiful memories while spending a nostalgic vacation in a familiar old cabin.

This cabin is 490 sq ft and sleeps a family of 6 utilizing 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size bed and a futon in the living room. There's a kitchen with everything to cover your basic needs, a dinning space and a simple bathroom that includes a warm shower. The spacious 18’x7’ enclosed porch overlooking the lake is the perfect spot for an evening card game with friends.

Whether you are looking for a home base to camp at the lake or a base camp while you explore the area’s attractions, you will enjoy this cozy cabin and all its imperfections. More than anything, you’re gonna love the authentic charm and the carefree lifestyle that comes with camping Up North.

Ritchie’s rustic cabin is exactly as described! He was quick to respond and stayed in touch. Ritchie greeted us upon arrival and made us feel at home. He answered all of our questions, made restaurant recommendations and explained everything we needed to know for our stay. The cabin is rustic and has so much charm.

Enjoyed a quiet weekend at Lakeside Cabins (cabin #3) on beautiful Paradise Lake in Carp Lake. The large screened porch afforded room to play cards and catch up with family. My husband, who had a broken ankle/foot, had plenty of room in the cabin to use his scooter and crutches. The kitchen had everything we needed, and Ritchie provided us with a certain size baking pan upon request. The fire-pit was relaxing (firewood for sale on site) and our neighbor-cabins were respectful regarding noise-level. These cabins are rustic, just like the listing says. Bring extension cords and a fan. Would have loved a front-screen door to get a crossbreeze moving, but other than that, we had all we needed. Ten minutes to Mackinaw, great location. Ample room for everyone! Will visit again.

Loved this old feel peace and tranquillity. Literally steps from the waters edge. True to its description of 100 year old cabin. Quaint, comfortable and quite. Perfect opportunity to disconnect from everyday demands or Wi-Fi if you need it. Cabin #3 had full length screened in back porch for our senior dog to be able to watch the water fowl up close with out having to worry about her having to do even a couple steps or really being outside. She had a perfect view while we sat out back. A perfect large cabin table for board games to be played or eating dinner while feeling like your outdoors but spared any weather elements. Great fire pits with grilling options over your camp fire.

Since the begging Ritchie was very helpful and responsive. We had to arrive late because of our work schedule, very easy to find. The place is better than the pictures, it is a rustic style so keep that in mind but we were very comfy. I am very cold all the time and my husband warm so I packed and extra blanket. Kitchen has everything we needed. Honestly in general we were very happy with our stay, the lake view is amazing, we want to come back with warmer weather to actually get in the lake.

Great place!
The showers are a little lacking.
But I do believe that is because there may not be super high water pressure.
Just being able to shower is a plus.
Other then that heaters and everything was perfect!

This cabin is a hidden gem. It is simple, quiet, and rustic. I stayed with 3 friends and had plenty of space. we didn't book our stay till late in the day, but Ritchie still made sure we had a place to stay even at 10 pm. Outstanding and Kind Host, who was there if we ever needed him but everything went so smoothly we didn't even need to bother him. 10/10 recommend if you are not looking for anything fancy. its a simple stay that offers the feeling of waking up to the sound of water plus knowing you'll have a kind hosts doesn't hurt . Great roadside stop. Happy I stopped and feel that what I paid for is unheard of now a days, and I respect that. I don't need much but a clean place to stay and this place delivered.

we really couldn't have asked for a better experience, somewhat rustic cabin just feet from a huge lake, all the local amenities you could ask for. by the 2nd night we were talking about how we needed to come back again. The beautiful views of the lake from the porch and the wonderful sunrises in the morning we will be back for sure.

This little log cabin was so sweet and cozy with a fabulous location on a lovely large lake. It had what we needed (even more than Ritchie listed). We so enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the evening. Understand this is a humble little place, sort of shabby chic, so don't expect fancy but if you love nature and being out in it this is a great spot and the host is very cordial. We will stay again without a doubt.

10 steps to waters edge!! Cute and cozy. A general store and diner were in walking distance.
This is an older cottage, carpet and amenities (shower) reflect its age, so if you’re into nostalgia and don’t expect The Ritz, you’re going to love it! Cabin #3 had Good WiFi signal and allowed us to get some work done.
We will definitely come back!

I chose one of Ritchie's cabins because I needed a weekend away, and I am so thankful I did! The cabins are even better than the photos, and so close to the lake. The view of the lake out of the windows were dreamy and wonderful! The kitchen was pretty well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and other necessities which was nice. The beds were comfy, and I brought my own blankets for extra-coziness. Ritchie was so patient with my arrival time as I was slowed down by heavy rain quite a bit. I stayed in the cabin with my dog most of the weekend, so I can't really review the surrounding areas (not sure of hikes, etc.) but I highly suggest this cabin for a quite weekend away from life!

Great quiet place, it has the necessities, however bring your own coffee, spices and snacks while location is only 15 minutes from mackinaw city the nearest store is also in mackinaw city so be prepared for that. Every thing was slightly better than expected. I would stay here again! And recommend.

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Richie was a great host; very prompt with communication. The location was great base point for all the site seeing around the area. Waterfront sunrise and moonrise over the lake were incredible.

Very rustic cabins that reminded me of cabins from my childhood summers on lakes in northern MN: lakeside breezes on the screened porch, picnic table right on the lake. Very pleasant, friendly host. Our cabin (#3) was very roomy for the two of us (my daughter and myself). We spent part of a day kayaking in Ritchie’s boats—very convenient. Meals at Harbor Lights Grill were wonderful for food and the lake view. We found a lot to do in the area: berry picking on nearby farms, 4th of July fireworks in Macinaw City, a day on Macinac Island, hikes on the upper peninsula.

There’s nothing to complain about. The cabin and setting are beautiful. Truly ideal. However, if you’re looking for a quiet getaway and some alone time with the family, know that these cabins are really close together- just about the width of a car. We had heavy smokers in the cabin next door and could hear every cough, well into the wee hours. With the windows open, which is a summertime must, it got old quickly. In the evening, we roasted marshmallows in the firepit, but could easily overhear (and be overheard) the conversations of our neighbors and at one point had to ask the neighbor to reel in their child who had invited herself into our family time. If you’re going to meet new people, this is a perfect location. We had hoped for a little more quiet and privacy. Again- the place is great and I have 5 stars for everything. It’s just something I wish I had considered before hand.

Place was easy to find, comfy and had all the necessities we needed for a cabin night. Right on the lake plus the fenced patio in the back makes it easy to enjoy the outside without the annoying bugs. Ritchie also had a variety of rentals and items to purchase if needed, like firewood, kayaks, a cool paddle swan thing. If we ever find ourselves in the UP again will for sure check out this spot again for sure!

Quaint cabin on the lake. Had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable.
Screened in porch was my favorite spot to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee.

Very nice place, the Cabin #3 has easily accessible lake shore, and it’s really beautiful when you light the campfire and sit by the lake at night. Amazing cabin with all the things you would expect.
Will visit again for sure.

"Perfect for family"

by Barbara Zieba

The cabin was perfect for us as the youngest child is 4 and he could play in the lake since it is pretty shallow. All your basic amenities are there and you are only 10 minutes drive to Mackinac City. We would definitely come back- highly recommended.

The cabin was vary nice and clean. we were very comfortable. It is ideal for a family with young children as the lake is very shallow for several feet, and it is right outside the screened in porch. Richie, the owner was very helpful if you have any problems. we plan on going back for return visit.

The cabin despite its size is very cozy and welcoming, my friends and I all had a good time. There were some plumbing issues, but that can always be fixed. Ritchie was very kind to us and made sure we had all the blankets we needed and was very helpful with giving information about the town. The places he recommended were top notch. 🙂
