Hot Tub Escape - Peaceful Lake Cabin-Kayaks, Canoe, Pedalboat - Pet friendly | Cottage in Traverse City
2 Bedroom Cottage in Mayfield, Traverse City
Welcome to our charming little 1950s lakeside cabin, where modern comforts meet vintage charm. Perfect for both relaxation and adventure, this classic little Northern Michigan cabin is ready to host your unforgettable getaway!
Step back in time to a simpler kind of vacation at our authentic 1950s lakeside cabin, part of the original High Lake Resort community. These classic Northern Michigan cabins were once beloved summer escapes for families seeking fresh air, quiet mornings, and long days on the water — and today, they still offer that same peaceful charm.
Thoughtfully updated with modern comforts but true to their original footprint, this 530 sq ft two‑bedroom cabin is perfect for couples, small families, and anyone who appreciates cozy spaces, vintage character, and the feeling of being tucked away in nature.
