Unwind with your friends and family at the beautiful Big Kidd Cabin. The perfect rustic cabin with all the desired modern amenities. Located in the heart of snowmobile country. Featuring a open floor plan, (3) cozy bedrooms, full kitchen, bath and indoor/outdoor bar.
The Outdoor bar is our favorite spot in the cabin. Use it all hours of the night, and enjoy coffee and breakfast the next morning while gazing onto the peaceful lake. We are located on the "neck" of the lake, so it is very peaceful. You are likely to see families of geese, swans, and loons on the lake.
(2) smart TV's, Highspeed WI-FI, JBL Party Speaker, Pellet cooking grill, Fire Pit, bean bag boards, toys, bounce house and sand beach for the kids! Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need: Airfryer, Keurig, Coffee Pot, toaster and blender.
Bathroom has towels, shampoo/ conditioner/soap and blow-dryer. As well as extra linens for beds and airmatress if needed.
We have a large dock, so you can enjoy endless hours of catching bluegill, large mouth bass, and northern. Sand beach is new 2024, so we are still growing grass in the surrounding areas.
Available Free to use: Sit Up Paddle Boat, (2) adult kayaks, (2) child kayaks, and a metal john boat w/trolling motor.
Being on Highway 13 gives you endless trails for riding ATVs and bikes. Munising is a 30 minute drive north, and Manistique is 20 minutes East. At this cabin you are right in the middle of it all.

We will also allow a camper to be parked on the property for an additional fee, just message ahead of time!

NOTES:

Great Cabin for Families

My family stayed 4 nights at this cabin on Gooseneck lake. There are so many things we loved about staying here - the sandy beach, the kayaks, the toys (both inside and outside), the outdoor bar, the fire pit, the bounce house (!), and the dock. It's a very peaceful vacation spot. It was also very very clean (especially for a cabin with a sandy beach). The sandy beach is very nice but once your are in the water, it is 6 inches of muck. The kind of muck that swallows a croc and takes 20 minutes of digging to find. Our 3 year old could not swim but our 7 and 8 year old didn't seem to mind the muck. They did get very dirty and have to shower immediately after.We tried fishing off the dock and I'm pretty certain there are no fish in the water by the dock. The water is crystal clear.Also, there is a significant lack of outlets in the cabin. The kids room had no outlets. There are no outlets on the wall with all the big windows. We wanted to put fans in the windows to blow in cool air (it was very hot without A/C). We figured it out with some extension cords but it was tricky. One bedroom has a interior window that looks into the kids room so you have to be cautious when turning on the light in that bedroom because it will wake up the kids (there are curtains but it is very bright). Lastly, the outdoor fridge has a lock on it. This was disappointing because we were planning on using it for beverages. I would still highly recommend this cabin. We loved it.

Great getaway

We really enjoyed your little cozy home. Although the weather did not co-operate, we made the best of it by playing games inside and sitting by the fire to stay warm. We took a trip to Big Springs. This was the first time my daughter (22) and friends daughter (11) has been there. We enjoyed going out on the boat but could not find the paddle pontoon that you advertised. I emailed you but you did not respond. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we might try another trip when the weather is warmer.

Wonderful Hideaway

If you want a cozy cabin that’s hidden away, then you have found the right place. My kids loved the kayaks/canoe/peddle boat. My husband loved the strong WiFi. I enjoyed the deck with the beautiful view. Be sure to bring supplies because there is no stores close by. Fair warning to cPap users, there is no close outlet to the bed. We had a great time and will be back. s.

Cute Cottage, great host!

This is a great little getaway cottage with everything you need to jumpstart your family or couples vacation. Host was very responsive when we needed them. The location is a bit rural, so planning ahead with things you need like provisions & firewood is essential. Great location to get to a lot of different sight seeing locations or set up well to just chill and hide away. Good location for kids, our tween/teens loved the water activities. Beautiful setting, great views of nature including wildlife. Good WiFi signal but cell service is lacking so maps and screenshots of the check in information are also essential. Host will remind you and give you a map which is very helpful. Highly recommend this place!

Nice little getaway

Nice place to stay. Good amount of stuff to keep kids entertained. They had fun with the kayaks and the peddle boat and watching the beaver that kept swimming around. The outdoor bar area was fun and the fire pit. GPS led us there correctly (some reviews said it didn’t) but even if it hadn’t the host had sent detailed directions that we could have used. The listing did make it sound like it was more private or secluded than it is. Also, in reading reviews we had read about the bathroom situation so we knew but the only access to the bathroom being through a bedroom is less than ideal when you have 2 families staying there. Other than that, it’s a nice place and we enjoyed it.

Memorial Weekend

Quiet and relaxing location right on the handle of the lake that opens up to the larger portion. My family greatly enjoyed this location and the cabin fit all of our wants. We brought our own towels, but the owners provided more than enough in case we forgot. My 2.5 year old loved playing in the sand and had an absolute blast on the John boat with the trolly motor. Trish was great with communication and provided us additional information in regards of places to visit, shop, eat and whatnot. We mostly cooked at the cabin on the stove and outside with the pellet grill. Maybe a bit early in the season, but the weather was great for the most part and the breeze was still warm enough to relax and enjoy.

We had a wonderful time and the hosts were great. I forgot to retain the passcode info for check in and then had no wifi/connection to look up the info so we had to drive up the road a ways until we had cell service (this was totally my fault) so friendly reminder to remember to get the information so this doesn't happen to you!

Very nice place!

I went here with my boyfriend and two other couples. There’s 3 bedrooms so it slept the 6 of us perfectly. We loved the bonfire and indoor/outdoor bar area. The boys loved fishing on the lake there. There’s no phone service which is to be expected for that area, but the wifi was good and we had no issues using our phones at the cabin. Pictured rocks is only about 45 minutes away. Perfect little getaway!

Wonderful little house on a quiet lake in the middle of the UP. Everything with the property is as advertised and the host is great with communication. We couldn't get cellular signal in this very secluded location, but the Wi-Fi works great … and maybe having no cell signal was a blessing to help enjoy the peace and quiet this place affords. Highly recommend and much appreciated!

Relaxing lake getaway

The place is on a beautiful part of Gooseneck lake, we enjoyed a WFH vacation outside at the bar, watching nature. The pellet grill/smoker and boats usage was a huge plus for us. Just keep in mind that the only bathroom can be accessed only from one of the bedrooms and there’s a pass through between two rooms. It’s definitely a cabin for people who like each other. I would definitely stay here again!
