Peace Lodge - Hand-Hewn Log Cabin In The Woods

Three night minimum stay.
Bordering the Manistee National Forest, this property is unlike anything else you'll find. It's a rustic piece of history preserved in a quaint setting. Get away for a week relaxing at a log cabin in the woods away from the stress of everyday life.

You'll find a peaceful place to restore your soul.
Nestled in the region of the Manistee National Forest...
Curl up by the field stone fireplace or the outdoor hammock with a good book...
Take a long walk in the national forest which borders the property...
Or spend a quiet afternoon fishing on the lake nearby...

Reminiscent of Abraham Lincoln's birthplace, this hand-hewn log cabin dates back to the early 1800's. The log cabin was originally built in northern Indiana by pioneer settlers from Pennsylvania. Over the years, the logs were covered up with clapboard siding and this preserved them for years.

In 1970, another pastor bought the logs and relocated it in its present location in northern Newaygo County. The log portion of the cabin has a great room with two bedrooms upstairs. About twenty years later, he added a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/dining room. In 1994, we bought the cabin and have enjoyed many summers relaxing and enjoying the peace and solitude. We've enjoyed the lake-access privileges on the quiet non-sports, no-wake private fishing lake nearby.

Bed linens, bathroom towels, blankets and pillows are provided. The beds include one queen sized bed in the master room and four twin beds upstairs in the log cabin.

We also have lake access to a 15-acre private fishing/no wake lake just a five minute walk away from the cabin. We have a paddle boat, standup paddleboard‘s, and kayaks.

NOTE: We do not have trash service as it is not available in the Twp... All guests must take their trash with them OR guests are welcome to take advantage of the township waystation within a few miles from the cabin. Instructions and days of operation are listed on the refrigerator.

FYI: This cabin is about one hour from Lake Michigan and Ludington State Park has a beautiful clean public beach to spend a day.

Check in at 3:00 pm.
Check out by noon.

Pets are welcome with prior permission from the owners for an additional $50/pet fee.

Most relaxing trip!
The cabin was spotless when we arrived even though someone had stayed there right before us. The owners were so responsive and kind. My boyfriend and I had an amazing trip - the property is incredibly quiet even though there are some other cabins nearby. We loved drinking our coffee in the hammock in the mornings and had a fire in the fireplace during our last night there. We will be return customers! Thanks again!

Cozy and calm
From the minute you step in the cabin is inviting. Comfy places to sit and sleep. Hi he fireplace adds to the charm. Large enough kitchen for multiple people to hang out in while prepping meals. Very clean and neat. For activities we took advantage of hiking the gorgeous North Country trail along picturesque lakes and visited nearby Newago for shopping and a dinner. Lovely getaway
