Cabin #6 - "Wapashuwi"

Cabin #6 - "Wapashuwi"
A unique name of unknown origin. This 2 bedroom, 528 sq ft cabin is a wonderful size for a family to spend a relaxing vacation, camping along the shore of a beautiful 1900 acre lake in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan.

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 1950'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.

The listed rate reflects the price for 4 adults or a family with children up to 6 people total. Additional adults beyond 4 will incur additional charges. This cabin has a sleeping capacity up to 6 people utilizing 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size bed and a futon in the living room. There is 1 electrical outlet next to the bed in each of the bedrooms. Other electrical outlets are minimally located throughout the cabin. The cabin has a kitchen with everything to cover your basic needs, a dinning space and a simple bathroom that includes a warm shower. The spacious 10’x6’ enclosed porch overlooking the lake is the perfect area for spending a relaxing afternoon.

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.

Rustic cabin was perfect for a getaway with my husband and sister-in-law. Close to Makinac City with easy access to the island ferries. The cabin could use some additional updates but was fine as is.

Peaceful Stay on Carp Lake

The cabin was very nice with all we needed. It was so wonderful being steps away from Carp Lake, so peaceful. Richie was very responsive and helpful. Having access to kayaks and paddle boards was fun. I would recommend this place.

Cool little cabin on beautiful quiet lake

We loved our stay in this cabin that had everything we needed. Rich is really genuine and friendly and helpful and makes you feel right at home. Our cabin was right on the water and we enjoyed grilling s'mores and hot dogs. Our kids loved wading in the shallow water on the jetty at our cabin. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic and cozy!

We stayed on the coldest day of the winter and arrived very late. We were worried it’d be cold and prepared to bundle up. The cabin was fantastic! Richie, the owner, lives on site and started the heater well before we arrived. It was so warm we had to turn the heat down! The place was clean and cozy, each room had its own space heater. The cabin was exactly as pictured. It was small but didn’t feel cramped. There was even reliable internet access, strong enough to stream movies on the provided smart TV.A couple things to consider. The floor is a concrete slab and was cold. Be prepared to keep your socks on or bring slippers. The place is also a bit remote. Mackinaw city is about 10 minutes away but, other than that, there’s not much. Make sure you bring anything you need. Everything was great and we enjoyed every moment.We’ll definitely be back.

Great location, misleading listing

The location is great. It's 10 minutes from the ferry and the dark sky park. And the view over the lake is beautiful. However, the cabin itself was in need of a good deep clean, particularly the shower. We also found dog hair when we swept up as required before we left. This cabin (#6) varied in several ways from the pictures in the listing: the floors were painted, peeling concrete. The patio furniture had no cushions, and the kitchen had no small shelf--we had to leave most of our bags of supplies on the floor. The bed in the back bedroom was so noisy that it was possible to hear every time someone rolled over from the other bedroom with both doors closed. But worst, there are no docks on the lake! Even the guidebook in the cabin said that there were three docks to share, but when we went to the only docks we saw, we were promptly told we were on private property not associated with the cabins. Nothing kills a relaxed vacation vibe more than being scolded by a homeowner who is understandably upset to have tourists on her dock. Later, we noticed dock pieces stacked on the shore in a few places --these must have been the ones that were supposed to be provided for the cabins.

The cabins are pretty close together, and the water is only about 5 feet away when exiting out of cabin 6s back porch. Cabin 6s bathroom is pretty small, and hard to walk through. The whole bathroom is cramped including the toilet area. The walk in shower is really out of place and the only light in the bathroom is right above the shower stall. The steam from my shower made the light flicker, which I got a little freaked out by it. The cabin overall could use a lot small repairs and updates. There was a lot of clean blankets and the beds were pretty comfortable. Though there is oven pans/pots I would consider bringing our own non stick pans. Seems like they also want you to clean your whole cabin before you check out including washig/drying all dishes, clean/wipe out fridge, cleaning/ off all counters, and floors. They even ask that you take all your garbage to the dumpster yourself. Seems like something housekeeping should do. I get wanting guest to not leave the place trashed but some requesting the whole place to be cleaned before check out is a bit much. Despite its downfalls our stay was nice and the view of the water was breathtaking. We really enjoyed having a screened in porch!
