Scenic Cabin by the Lake
We welcome you to enjoy our cozy cabin located in the heart of Michigan! This is a spacious cabin with a stunning view of Elk Lake… a hidden gem in Gladwin county. It is an all sports lake wonderful for fishing and swimming. A paddle boat for two as well as a single person kayak are included with your stay. The cabin is updated with new appliances, streaming devices for all tv’s and 100m high speed internet. There are enough sleeping areas to host family get togethers, bachelor/bachelorette parties or hunting/snowmobiles trips. There is also a gameroom which includes a pool table, shuffle board, darts, massage chair and more. Along with the many amenities we also provide all linens, towels, dish and silverware, tea, coffee and much more in order to make your stay as enjoyable and stress free as possible! The cabin itself is only a stones throw from the lake and within walking distance of Elk Lake Bar where you can enjoy a good meal, cold beer and friendly service! The cabin is also within a 15 minute drive of either downtown West Branch or Gladwin where you can enjoy some great restaurants and shopping. There truly is something for everyone so don’t miss out and book your stay soon. We are looking forward to hosting your getaway -Dennis and Danielle

Phenomenal Rental
This property is THE perfect place for any group. We catered a wedding in Gladwin and rented this for me and my staff to stay. The owners have thought about everything. Just bring your clothes and food and you are good. We will be back for sure!

Wonderful property
My family and I stayed for a weekend. We didn’t get to enjoy all the amenities this property included (we were in town for a wedding) The pictures of this place don’t do it justice. It was absolutely beautiful. We would definitely love to stay again in the future, this time use it as a more relaxing experience instead of just a place to sleep.

Great Place!
We had a wonderful time at the cabin! Cabin was great for a weekend getaway with friends, and the game room was definitely a hit! Kitchen is very well stocked which made it easy to cook at home, and the lake was gorgeous! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend.
