About this property

Charming cabin on a private lake - ALL SEASONS

Looking for a relaxing destination that still allows you to be at the hub of excitement? Quinn Cabin is the perfect destination. Located 30 minutes from Elk Rapids, Torch Lake, and Shanty Creek/Schuss Mountain and only 45 minutes from the heart of Traverse City, Quinn Cabin allows guests the opportunity to get away from it all and still be conveniently close to the bigger and busier popular northern Michigan destination cities.

Kalkaska is a growing, hometown community with a steadily increasing number of things to do. Guests can visit the Tuesday farmers market during the summer months or go to the Cherry Street Market for a unique outdoor shopping experience. Check out Chalker Park, an excellent playground for kids of all ages, or look out over the lily pads at Mill Pond. Get a bite to eat at local restaurants or the food trucks parked at Railroad Square.

Put a record on when you get back to the cabin after your day of grand adventure. The owners have provided a record player for guests’ enjoyment, so you can fill every room with the dulcet tones of some of your favorite artists.

The cabin offers guests a serene, quiet, private home to enjoy no matter the season. This home is wonderfully equipped to provide families with children of all ages with the conveniences necessary for an enjoyable vacation. Guests with small children will be happy to know that 2 pack n plays, boosters seats for the dining table, bibs, children's utensils, dishes, and games/art supplies are available for your use. Older children and adults alike will enjoy the beauty of the surrounding area - a perfect place for a nature walk, bonfire, swim, fishing, kayaking and row boat in the no wake lake. The area boasts many snowmobile trails, nature trails, as well as ice fishing.

The home has both air conditioning and central heating - making it a perfect place to stay no matter the time of year. The home does have Wi-Fi and a smart television for those individuals who are not wanting to disconnect. This charming cabin has the ability to accommodate guests of all ages and abilities.

Cute and quaint

Sweet little house. Lovely little lake. Kayaks available. 40 minutes from Traverse City about an hour from Lake Michigan. Quiet neighborhood. House is cute, has everything needed. Shower is small but has on demand hot water. We enjoyed our stay

Love the Log, Log Lake

I stayed at the Quinn cottage for 4 weeks, a quaint cottage on an awesome spring fed no wake lake. A great mixture of old cottage architecture and modern convenience. The cottage is fully stocked with almost everything I needed. (I bought a pie plate to make my son a peach blueberry birthday pie!) The bedding was exceptional, the beds very comfortable. As wonderful as the cottage is, I LOVE the lake! The kayaks provided are fantastic and the cool of the water always refreshing even on the hottest summer day. I swam and kayaked every day. When my son and his girlfriend visited, the 3 of us swam across the lake. One of the cleanest, clearest nicest bodies of water I've every swam in. I enjoyed the property so much that I went on only a couple of day trips, I didn't want to leave the lake. Highly recommended.

Charming, adorable and relaxing

The Quinn cabin was amazing!! We rented this cabin for a few days before the craziness of back to school happened. When we arrived the cabin was so clean and had so many extra touches it felt like home. The outside lake and dock were fantastic for my teenagers. They enjoyed the boat and kayaks most of all! I enjoyed sitting by the fire in the evening roasting marshmallows. From the extremely comfortable beds, to the record player with speaker and Taylor Swift. We took a day and explored Sleeping bear dunes, but were always grateful to come back to this adorable cabin at night. We felt very safe at this location and couldn’t of had a more enjoyable time. Thank you for allowing us to stay at this charming cabin!!

Lovely cabin and location!

We had a great time at Quinn Cabin. It was so clean and adorable. Tons of little touches that made you feel at home. The lake and neighborhood was so quiet and relaxing. Our 4 year old loved the lake. It was shallow and sandy - perfect for swimming. Loved that we didn’t have to lug our pack and play with us for our 4 month old, as there were 2 in the cabin for our use. Really was a cute little place with anything you might need. We’d definitely stay again and probably will! Thank you!

A relaxing long weekend

This cabin was the perfect place to rest, relax, and remember how great it is to let the rest of the world pass by, if only for a little while. Modern updates gives the comfort of home while still maintaining that rustic feel. The use of several watercraft and an ample supply of firewood helped make the stay even more enjoyable. Situated a long way down a private road, Quinn cabin is very peaceful, and the neighborhood was delightfully quiet during our stay. Still, there is a large grocery store about five minutes away, and a kitchen that is fully functional and well stocked with cooking gear, so guests need not pack the better part of their kitchen for this vacation. We would gladly stay here again, in fact we may just book that next trip soon.

Remote work with time to unwind

We weren’t on vacation but it felt like we were. Peaceful morning kayaking and coffee by the lakeside; evening walks and wine. Remote work in between. Thankful to have escaped the Texas heat for a few days of bliss at this cozy and quiet lakeside setting.

Very Clean

The house is small and quaint. The decor is cute with a little Scandinavian flare. The bedrooms are large enough, but on the small side, especially the second one. The lake view is amazing, and the dock and chairs by the fire pit are perfect for relaxing in the evening. Our stay was for a family members funeral, so that alone quiet time was well needed. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the coffee bar was outstanding! Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!
