The Ember's Cabin - Private log cabin on Grand Lk

This is a quaint one bedroom log cabin nestled on the edge of hardwoods. It sits on a knoll overlooking Grand Lake with its own campfire (wood available for purchase). A dock provides access to the lake for boating. Kayaks, paddle boat and a paddle board are available to use. Swimming is available at nearby beaches, hiking trails are close, and the Presque Isle Lighthouse and Harbor are just a few miles away to have an evening pier walk. Monthly discount available. Minimum stay of 4 nights during the summer months. If interested in fall dates, contact me & I can adjust the minimum day stay to two nights (Sept. 6 - Oct. 30) You will enter the property off Whiskey Point Rd and follow a beautiful meandering driveway through hardwoods. The cabin shares space with our primary residence on the property. The cabin is located on top of the knoll, with the house 75 yards further down the hill. Pine trees and a fountain are located between the cabin and our house, creating for a quiet private setting. Parking is located before the cabin and has a short walking trail to access it. The private dock, to be used for boating purposes only, is located 100 yards away from the cabin. This is the only cabin on the property. Our main residence is on this property, so we will be available if you have any questions, but otherwise, you will have your space all to yourself. The door will be unlocked, so you can self check-in when you arrive. This location is a quaint area with many nearby activities. As far as restaurants, there is the Fireside Inn a half mile down the road that serves breakfast and dinner. It's nice to walk there in the evening to enjoy a lakeside meal. There is the Hideaway Bar and Grill 7 miles away; the town of Alpena is 15 miles south and the town of Rogers City is about 20 miles north. There is also the small town of Presque Isle 3 miles away that has a park, tennis court, basketball court, library, small grocery store, and a place to order pizza. On the north end of Grand Lake, there is the wonderful modern restaurant "Woody's" overlooking Grand Lake. About 6 miles away is the Presque Isle Harbor with two historic Lighthouses, an ice cream shop, charter boats to reserve for big lake fishing (recommendations available), and a harbor with a pier to walk out on. It's nice for an evening stroll to walk along the harbor docks to see the boats from all over the Midwest. As far as nearby activities, there are hiking trails for bird watching and observing rare wild flowers in the area. We will have a binder in the cabin with areas of interest for you to check out. We will also be available to help you navigate the area and answer questions on what is available to do. There is the NOAA center in Alpena on the Thunder Bay River that has a great display of boating history of the Great Lakes as well as a glass bottom boat cruise that you can take out on Lake Huron to view shipwrecks. There are also great biking trails, both in Alpena as well as Rogers City. There's lighthouses, beaches, and waterfalls to explore in the surrounding area as well. If you want to take in a day at Mackinac Island while you're here, the ferry dock is just over an hour away and offers a wonderful day excursion.
