About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Loon Lodge

Nestled in the Marl Bay on Douglas Lake, the Loon Lodge is located near one of four Loon nests monitored by the University of Michigan Biological Station.

17 miles of undeveloped shoreline maintained by U of M on the 3,700 acre lake helps to create a peaceful place for wildlife and human visitors to rest.

Spend the day exploring the lake by kayak, canoe, or paddle board. Enjoy a good book by the lake or take a half mile walk to Bessey Nature Preserve where Lancaster Creek feeds into Douglas Lake.

By night, catch the Northern Lights or the Milky Way Galaxy from the dock while a fire crackles on the shore.

The Loon Lodge is a cozy 1940’s whole log cabin that has been updated & renovated while honoring it’s historical character.

There are two bedrooms (pony walls) each featuring a queen bed. There is also a sleeping loft with full and twin beds, while a futon is available in the living room for extra sleeping.

A full kitchen, bathroom and living room finish the space, plus an enclosed porch on the lakeside for sipping your morning coffee.

The cabin is best for a couple or single family with kids.
