Photos and Description of the Cheboygan vacation lodge rental
Lovely Luxury Lodge! 4BR/2BA All Wood Rustic Contemporary Cabin with Great Ameni

Dear Friends.... We have a hidden jewel waiting for you in Cheboygan, the Mc Intosh Solitude Lodge. It is a newly-built but very rustic Log Cabin overlooking the straits area of Lake Huron. It's about 10 minutes east of town and right on US Hwy 23. The winding 450 ft. road that takes you to the cabin through beautiful woods affords privacy and envelops you in Nature!

When you arrive, it looks like any other log cabin, but one look inside the door and you will be amazed at the solid-wood (knotty cedar) interior! Bathrooms have 6' x 10' beams of cedar in them; rustic in spades! There are 4 bedrooms and 2 BA. You can view The Lodge in greater detail through our own website. Go to the link at the bottom of the page for lots of answers, a picture of our family, the beach in summer, and about 7 other photos, 12 photos in all.

There is even a floor plan showing how the 2,200 sq. ft. are laid out, and how the cabin would work out for your group.

There are two beautiful porches on the cabin; the back porch looks out over an ever-changing panorama of one of the great views of the great lakes. Who goes to the McIntosh lodge? Mostly it's families for reunions... there's lots of ways to set up your tribe, but we get a lot of people looking for an out-of-the-way intimate and romantic nest to spend some quality time with their mate. The common thread of all our guests is a desire for privacy, time apart from the maddening pace of life in 2007 and looking for a splendid way to recharge batteries. The cabin is about 400 feet from the water, and the sound of the waves at night will lull you to sleep very quickly. The trail down to the beach is a wonderful 1-minute nature walk, the beach stretches as far as you can see in either direction with virtually no development or people on it. There is one pair of cabins, about 500 feet East, and the private owners there are really wonderful people. There's an 80 foot pier/dock.

lake, perfect for sunning, reading a book in a beach chair, and hopping into the crystal-clear waters whenever you want! If you're wondering why the prices are so reasonable at the lodge, it's because I set them that way so that I will be able to afford more people a chance to see one of the most peaceful and beautiful cabins on the entire Great Lakes. Lots of amenities are nearby, you probably know most or all of them, but what you might not know is that there is a great full-service hospital less then 15 minutes away, people up in northern Michigan small towns are really friendly, and there are terrific things to do there at ANY time of year.

Best wishes from us both,

Tom and Eve Mc Intosh

Nearest Airport : Pellston, MI at 25 Miles
Nearest Beach : beach at 120 Metres
Car: recommended

Two topics.... #1 To secure time at the lodge FOR SURE, mail us a check for 1/2 the rental amt. right away, and we will email you the rental agreement, etc. This method is 98% effective. Second method: ask for a rental agreement BEFORE you send the check; we will send you one right away, you will get it, etc. But, there are problems, many and varied, with this technique. This method is about 50% effective.

Topic #2 The area is a bit out of the way of heavily-traveled areas like Petoskey,

Harbor Springs, Mackinac Isl. etc., but we like it that way. The time it takes to get to those places gives you time to relax and enjoy the company that you are with, without time pressures that you get in the world every day, without let-up. PLACES: Boyne for skiing, many places(all Very beautiful) for golf, the Soo area for lock-watching,

waterfalls, sand dunes, painted rocks boat rides, all are wonderful, our #1 memory was riding bikes the 8 mi. around Mackinac!..

Golf: Forget golf details for now... (there's some of the most beautiful courses in the entire US in upper Michigan)......back to finishing up the list of amenities... ~personalized gift basket on arrival, and...

~we are pet-friendly!

~Brand-new Cedar hot tub with deck overlooking the lake, 5 person

~Olhausen billiards (pool) table with a regulation size ping-pong table top that fits on the pool table easily.

I tell people that the lodge is like a little 'Ritz-Carlton' in the woods, I may be exaggerating a touch, but not much.

AND... (Ahem!) Occasionally some guests get a front-row seat for the Northern Lights! New as of August 2006--- a ms Pacman & Galaga cocktail table in game room with 20 quarters provided. New Fee Alert! as of 7/25/07, for off-peak season rentals of less than 7 days, a $50 cleaning fee is now in force.. no exceptions! No other fees except for the pet fees.

Ski: Best way to get time at the lodge is to send an earnest money check when you've decided to commit to a specific time. Whoever we get a check from first usually ends up getting to stay at the cabin! Best wishes, good luck!

This property is awesome! The pictures really don't do justice to the interior or the view. From the taxidermy to the pictures on the walls, it's practically like a museum of natural history- fantastic. Beautiful log furniture, gas fireplace, full length covered porches front and back- the works. The lakefront is great, especially if you have any "rock hounds" along. Lots of fossils if you have the patience to look. The kids really enjoyed the game room, and also watching the freighters pass by. We'll be back.

My wife and I had a great time here. We were looking for a place to get away from the kids and city to celebrate our 10th anniversary. This place was perfect. It was quiet, clean, and the view of the lake was amazing. Additionally the owner and the care taker were both very friendly and the rate was great. We could not have found a better place. It was nothing but a positive experience and we definitely plan to stay again sometime and share this place with family.

This is an exceptional place in a beautiful, secluded setting! You will immediately feel at home here in the comfortable atmoshere that I would call rustic luxury. We spent hours on the back porch just relaxing and watching the lake and the freighters going by. When evening comes, the hot tub was calling and then time to build a fire in the fire pit. Nice.....!
