Cottage 2 by the lake

The resort accommodations include the Lake House and 6 log cabins. along with complimentary use of our kayaks and paddle boards. Our resort has 100 ft of private beachfront along all sport, 617 acre Fife Lake, which is known for its great fishing and water sports. A short drive to Traverse City, Kalkaska and Cadillac put Fife Lake in the center of it all, with the Boardman River to the north and the Manistee River to the south. Whether you are looking for a getaway for 2, or a place to host a large gathering, The Lake Cabins Resort has something to fit your needs.

The resort was built in the early 40’s and has lots of local history with the people and families that have enjoyed the resort in years past. We have restored the full log cabins with new kitchens and many upgrades that make for a great vacation spot. Fife Lake was voted best inland lake in northern Michigan in 2014.

Our pristine beach is a great place to relax and soak up some sun. You can feel comfortable with the kids swimming off our beach as the water is shallow to the end of our dock. Boat rentals are available should you wish to tour the lake and find the eagles nests or loon’s nests. Beach area is closed the last weekend in September. Docks are removed for the winter.


Cabin 2 has 2 bedrooms and 1 futon that make out to a double beds. Sleeps 5 comfortably, 6 if the children are small. Approximately 350 square feet.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The cabin also includes a coffee maker.

Wonderful rustic cabin stay with beautiful lake

This was our first time staying in the cabins on Fife lake and we will definitely be back. It is a nice area to relax and enjoy the view of the lake. The cabins were as described, quaint with just the basics of what you need. The free kayaks were our favorite amenity. Just to note, the bathrooms are really small so if you have kids, the entire bathroom floor will be wet from showers but we didnt mind too much since we enjoyed the rest of the cabin and lake so much. The host were very friendly and helpful and made our stay just perfect.

Fife Lake Family Time

We stayed here July 5-8 of 2023 because our son was in the Traverse City Cherry Festival Parade. It was 1/2 hr. from Traverse City but so much less expensive. We LOVED our stay here. The cabin was cute and clean and the resort as a whole was very charming. We loved coming back to the cabin after a long day in the city for some R&R. The cabin had everything we needed and it was nice to cook some meals there to save money. The lake was close and beautiful. There is also a great ice cream place right down the road! We will definitely stay here again if our son is in the parade next year. We can't wait!
