Z Cabin: Vintage Lakeside Retreat w/Private Dock

'Z Cabin' provides breathtaking high bank views in all seasons and weather. 60 ft of private water front awaits you on the quiet section of Lake St. Clair where you can relax, boat, swim and fish.
This 1950's lake house has been updated inside and out without losing its vintage charm. Each room has ductless heating/AC while the house retains its working wood burning stove for those chilly PNW nights. But don't spend all day indoors! The lake awaits you year round with its misty mornings, calm waters and meandering coves worth exploring. Or just take in the views from the spacious deck.
Z Cabin is ready to host your next Pacific Northwest adventure.

Perfectly cozy little cottage in a great location. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well supplied for all our cooking needs, and we all enjoyed swimming and floating in the lake! It was really nice to have two separate living areas as well- the green leather chair upstairs was my favorite spot to sneak away and read in the evening!

Clean, comfy, and perfect for our family trip

We had a lovely stay at Z Cabin. It was comfortable and had all we needed for our stay to visit with family in the area. I really appreciated that it was so well stocked with items we might need and the kids (and adults) had a blast in the water and when using the provided water craft. With the easy water access and the AC - we had a lovely time during the hot August days/nights.

Beautiful, warm, comfortable lake house.

We absolutely loved the lake house.The only feature that prospective guests might note is that there is only one bathroom. This didn't affect our stay at all, but it might be a drawback for some.

Peaceful. Quiet. Spectacular lake view. It’s worth the steps (51, we counted ) to go for a swim or a float. The second week of September and the water temp is just fine. The bed downstairs is big and very comfortable. There is an A/C unit in every room, which is a nice feature. Also liked the newer fridge and updated shower.

Hidden Gem

Good location, driveway is a little tight for a large suv but no big deal. The house was clean and had plenty of cookware and utensils. Really enjoyed the outdoor deck, dock and lake. That is where we spent most of our time and I already want to go back. There are two kayaks, a peddle boat and a dock slide that the kids wouldn’t get off of. Highly recommend!

Everything was clean - house had all we needed to make it home for over a week. We don’t get to take advantage of the lake being the time of year but our family enjoyed hanging out at the hose during our down time. Would definitely stay again.

Z Cabin Stay

Our family had a wonderful time at the Z Cabin on beautiful Lake St. Clair! The home was stocked with everything that we needed. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of linen and towels. We enjoyed using the kayaks to explore the lake and were happy to find all sizes of lifejackets for adults and kids. We would be happy to return and use the cabin again for our next stay.
