CABIN 14: Summer in Northern Michigan

Welcome to Cabin 14!

Nestled in Lakes of the North, Cabin 14 is the perfect home base for your Northern Michigan adventure. Enjoy direct access to hundreds of miles of ORV and snowmobile trails, as well as proximity to world-class golf courses and ski resorts. The surrounding area also features wineries, breweries, and fantastic local dining options.

On-site, you’ll find two scenic lakes—Pencil and Harold—offering sandy beaches and seasonal rental activities. The community also includes a golf course with an on-site restaurant and an indoor waterpark (available for an additional fee).


The Space

This unique cabin features open beam ceilings throughout and comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests (1 king, 1 queen, and 3 twin beds). Each room is equipped with its own AC/heat unit for personalized comfort.

Families traveling with young children will appreciate the Pack ’n Play and strategically placed baby gates both inside and on the back deck—for the safety of little ones and dogs alike.

Step outside to enjoy a large deck, firepit, and a gas grill under a covered area—perfect for grilling in any season.
Dogs are welcome (with a non refundable fee), and we’ve provided dog bowls as well as cables and outdoor tie-outs for their safety.


Why “Cabin 14”?

You might be wondering about the name. Well, it holds a special meaning for us. My husband and I were both college athletes—he played baseball and I played hockey. When we first met and swapped stories about our athletic days, we discovered a fun coincidence: we had both worn the same jersey number—14.

Since then, the number 14 has held a special place in our lives, so when it came time to name our getaway, "Cabin 14" was the perfect choice. It’s more than just a number—it’s a nod to our shared history and a reminder of the things we love.

Perfect getaway!! Loved Pencil Lake (a few minutes away) and Torch Lake (40 min away). Our family enjoyed time together, we sat outside on the spacious back porch, played cornhole (provided) and other games. It was peaceful.

Nice Location and Setting, and Extremely Pet Friendly!

Great location and lots of privacy. We especially appreciated all of the pet friendly features - the dog dishes, the gates, even the shovel outside for scooping poop. Plenty of room in the kitchen and pantry for groceries, and every utensil, pot, pan, dish, etc, you could possibly need. We had a very nice stay!

Perfect getaway spot

Perfect spot for our long weekend. Nice secluded cabin yet only a 25 minute drive to town. Lakes of the north has many amenities that we made use of. Spent time at the winter activity center snowshoeing the trails. Then took a few hour break from the cold and played in the indoor pool. The cabin was great had everything we needed for our stay. Very clean and cozy. A big plus for us was being able to bring our dogs. Had a great stay and look forward to a possible return.

Owner is fabulous. Clean with all amenities you could need. Would go back again. It rained once and we got to use the clubhouse pool for a few and the kids really enjoyed it. Nice private lakes close by. Quiet and good for our four legged furry family member too! Thanks Marlowe for giving us recommendations as well!

Lovely little slice of sky gazing peace and quiet!

We primarily come 'up north' for stargazing and loved the backyard for this! I personally love the firepit and the cute string lights too, just have to unplug them for star viewing. The beds were COMFY, COZY blankets galore. Little details provided, like a fan (bedroom one was not working though), a mirror, and cute things like beds/bowls for the dog made it feel like home much faster. We wished we had more time there, but will look back on the memories fondly and hope to return some time!

Fun filled week

We love staying in Lakes of the North. Two beaches, great pool area and you can ride your ORV right to the trail from the house! House was clean and had everything you need. Had a nice fire pit for fires in evenings. We did some grilling and some cooking and also went to our favorite restaurant the Hide-A-way bar twice, we love riding our ORV there straight from the trails and they accept you dirty and all lol their pizza is my daughters favorite. Thank you for a great week.

2024 4th July Vacation

The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The woods that surrounded the cabin made it feel very private. Having direct access to the ORV trails was very nice. As well, the grand kids enjoyed the clubhouse pool. We did have issue with entry to the pool clubhouse, but the property manager took of care it immediately. I would only recommend that clubhouse property team be more inviting to the guest. I think they have attitude about guest that needs to be corrected. This is a great vacation property...

Exceptional hosts, beautiful house, great location for peace

If it was possible to rate a 10-star host, Marlowe would earn one! Her description of the house and property were spot on. The home was beautiful and welcoming as soon we arrived. More than enough supplies and dishes for a family of four and two dogs. The beds were comfortable and the instructions for the AC were easy to follow. The house is about two miles from two very nice private lakes with great swimming and opportunities. It's an easy hour drive to rock hunting on Lake Michigan or a half hour to the lake town of Boyne City. Gaylord is only 15 minutes with all its golf and Bavarian atmosphere. Highly recommended for families, friends, and anybody looking for a quiet time away with ready access to city life as needed.

The cabin was beautiful. Set up great for a family with kids and dogs. Beautiful porch that was hard to fully enjoy because their septic was backing up outside. We noticed the smell when we arrived on July 21st. We didn’t spend much time in the yard in that area because we busy the first few days upon arrival. We took the dogs outside but not in that area. Wednesday the kids noticed white stuff on the ground and water/sewage coming up from the ground. We then realized where the smell was coming from and called right away. They had someone there the next day, septic savage. They stated that this is an ongoing issue at that house. They said it is a drain issue that needs fixed.
