Private Acre Cabin Near Beach - Cross Village
The perfect up north escape is a short walk from the beach on Lake Michigan.
Tucked away on a quiet road in historic Cross Village, Little Pine Cabin sits on a full acre where deer wander regularly and the outside world melts away. Whether you're a couple looking for a romantic getaway or a small family wanting room to breathe, this hidden gem is your place.
A spacious private yard with a patio and bonfire pit makes evenings here unforgettable. And when the fire dies down, look up — Cross Village has virtually no light pollution, making the night sky something truly special. On the right night, you may even catch the Northern Lights.
For hikers and nature lovers, nearby trails include the Tunnel of Trees corridor, the Sturgeon Bay Trail in Wilderness State Park, and Headlands International Dark Sky Park — stunning Lake Michigan views, old-growth forest, and easy-to-moderate terrain. You don't have to be a serious hiker to fall in love with the trails here.
The location is unbeatable. Walk to Leg's Inn (seasonal), the Cross Village public beach, The Village Mart for ice cream and essentials, and Three Pines Studio & Gallery. Black Barn Farm is literally at the end of the road— farm-fresh eggs, pasta, and milk straight from the source. Three additional seasonal shops are all within walking distance.
Little Pine Cabin’s original knotty pine walls, vintage metal kitchen cabinets, maple hardwood floors, and a cozy electric fireplace create a nostalgic warmth. The full bathroom features a heated floor, and the main level includes a full laundry room and pantry. A Level 2 EV charger is available for guests.
A note on the layout: Both sleeping areas are upstairs via a charming but steep original staircase — two twin beds in the landing area and a queen bedroom beyond. The bathroom is on the main level. Worth knowing before you book.
Harbor Springs is 25 minutes away via the Tunnel of Trees scenic drive. Mackinaw City is 23 miles north for easy day trips.

Reviewer Comments:
We loved the house. Everything you need is available. The only downside is the bedrooms are upstairs and not close to the bathroom.
Charming little home in the woods - half mile walk to the beach was great - nicely renovated. Grounds and lawn needed some love but otherwise as advertised - we would book again if in the area.
Perfect weekend getaway love Cross Village is perfect place to get to the parks relax or do day trips in the area. House was great had all the amenities we needed. Could be inside the house chilling and watch the wildlife outside and relax from excursion to the Dunes etc. Definitely recommend.
