Cabin #2 - "Kitchitikipi"

Cabin #2 - "Kitch-iti-kipi"
Kitch-iti-kipi (KITCH-i-tee-KI-pee) means "big cold water". This 202 sq ft cabin is named after Michigan's largest natural spring in Schoolcraft County. A popular destination for guests who stay here at Lakeside Cabins.

This Vintage Rustic cabin, primarily designed for the camping & fishing enthusiast, is just one cabin of a 7 cabin resort. This cabin was built in the late 1920's and holds every bit of that vintage character. It may be a little rough around the edges but this authentic cabin holds the wonderful allure of days gone by. Electrical outlets would have been added a few years later and air conditioning wasn’t even thought of at that time. Those details won't matter to the outdoorsy kind coming for the camping experience where lake activity fills your day and evenings are enjoyed around the campfire. This charming cabin has a knotty pine interior and all the basics to create an Up North camping style atmosphere. A lifestyle one will appreciate becoming acquainted with.

All the cabins are lined up next to each other along the shore of a beautifully serene lake. This close proximity to other cabins have traditionally created a friendly community style atmosphere where guests mingle and create lasting friendships. This is the kind of place where your grandparents brought your parents, your parent’s brought you, and you are now bringing your children to create beautiful memories while spending a nostalgic vacation in a familiar old cabin.

This one room cabin is 202 sq ft and sleeps 2 people in the queen size bed which adjoins the kitchen and dinette. The bathroom is simple, the shower is warm and the kitchen has everything to cover your basic needs. The spacious 10’x7' enclosed porch overlooks the water. A perfect area to enjoy a quiet evening watching the loons. The cabin has 1 electrical outlet near the bed and other electrical outlets minimally located throughout the cabin.

Whether you are looking for a home base to camp at the lake or a base camp while you explore the area’s attractions, you will enjoy this cozy cabin and all its imperfections. More than anything, you’re gonna love the authentic charm and the carefree lifestyle that comes with camping Up North.

Cozy, comfy room. Had everything we needed and then some. What-to-bring list needs to be updated; we brought some things that we didn't need. My friend especially loved the antique glass soap dispenser in bathroom. Great sunrise view!

It is always a pleasure staying at Lakeside. The lake was lovely and we were able to sneak a campfire in between the rain storms. Make sure to read the notes that Ritchie sends your way as it spells out exactly what you need to bring - trash bags, shampoo, etc. On VRBO, the pet fee was not very clear. It read as 25 per pet not per night, so that was a surprise as we stayed 2 nights. That may be because I booked via mobile, though, and it did not show correctly. I was unable to add a pet to my listing so we had to let Ritchie add it for us. He was helpful and communicative, and prepared for us as soon ad we arrived. Our Georgia boy enjoyed the lake and the neighbors. .The ceiling fan is a tad wobbly while on the lowest setting, so we did not feel confident using it. We were just looking for air circulation, so we ended up opening the door. Otherwise everything else worked greatThere is an AC unit , so if it had been a hot weekend we would not have been in a bad spot.The cabin is right on Paradise lake with a private dock a little to the north, and the other cabins to the south. The morning views were very pretty, and there is enough sand to sink your feet in. The water looked very clean.There were kayaks and such on site, but it did not appear to be open when we were there. Thank you again for a lovely beginning to Autumn!

This is a cute little one room cabin for 2 with a porch. We enjoyed relaxing and listening to the waves in the evening. As well as sitting on the porch with a warm cup of coffee in the morning watching the sunrise.

Cute cabin on peaceful lake

I just stayed overnight, but it was pleasant. The cabin is cute and rustic, but with every function you need. The location is right on the shoreline of a pleasant lake. After a long day of driving, sitting outside at the picnic table watching the waves gently lap up to shore was the perfect recharge from a tiring day. Communication with Richie was great. He even recommended a good pasty place for my dinner.
