Cabin #7 - "Waugoshance"
Cabin #7 - "Waugoshance" A hybrid word, combining the Anishinaabemowin word wah'goosh (fox) and the French word anse (cove). This 2 bedroom, 528 sq ft cabin is named after a nearby peninsula off the northwest coast of Michigan's lower peninsula.
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 early 1950'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.
The listed rate reflects the price for 4 adults or a family with children up to 6 people total. Additional adults beyond 4 will incur additional charges. This cabin has a sleeping capacity up to 6 people utilizing 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size bed and a futon in the living room. There is 1 electrical outlet next to the bed in each of the bedrooms. Other electrical outlets are minimally located throughout the cabin. This cabin has a kitchen with everything to cover your basic needs, a dinning space and a simple bathroom that includes a warm shower. The spacious 9’x6’ enclosed porch overlooking the lake is the perfect spot to watch the fishing boats go out during the morning sunrise.
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.

Wonderful stay, great communication with Ritchie. The place is in such a beautiful and convenient spot. My 4 year old son was enamored with the rustic cabin feel! Very close to Mackinaw city for a day trip to the island or a drive to the UP. Thanks!
Took our first family vacation with our daughter and dog and stayed here. It was a great experience from start to finish, Richie was an amazing host. The cabin was very clean, well put together and the view was so beautiful. Definitely would recommend and we will be back next year.
Great warm cabin for a one night stay that was halfway to our final destination. Amazing communication with host and greeted us at arrival. Good location in quiet neighborhood- only struggle, we thought was due to time of year, was the amount of restaurants open the night we stayed. We did find a good spot and toured a quiet downtown of Mackinaw City with snow. Would recommend!
This place always feels like home. I have been back to this place again and again for the last 4 years. From family trips to friend get always. It is clean, friendly, spacious and peaceful The management is pleasant to work with.
Looks like there were some upgrades since the last time we stayed, made it so much more comfortable! The only complaint is the gas fireplace rattled like crazy every time it kicked on, it was super loud. Didn’t ruin the weekend and we look forward to the next visit!

It was exactly what me and my wife were looking for. We stayed here for our honeymoon and after all the wedding planning and chaos, this cabin was a perfect recharge station for us.
I booked 2 nights, but I wish I would've booked it longer. It was peaceful and a nice change of pace for us. We are planning on making it a yearly tradition going forward.
We rented this property to be near Mackinaw City for the Labor Day Bridge Walk. It was perfect!
The cabin is rustic and quaint. Certainly wish we would have been able to stay longer! Property owner was very welcoming! Steps from the lake - beautiful sunset!
Great location in close proximity to many things to do. The cabin was perfect and as described. Ah the basics you need are there, but I would recommend being the things the owner recommends. We would definitely stay again should we ever be in the area again. The pet policy is excellent also. Traveling with a giant breed has it's challenges and it was great we were able to bring both our dogs.
Everything was so easy! The minute we exited the car we were greeted by the wonderful sweet smell of nature. The lahe is beautiful and watching the canoes and pontoon boats and water skiers filled our days. Loved this spot! Exactly as described.
Very peaceful!!! The cabins had everything needed to make the stay very enjoyable! We stayed in cabin #7 and wish we would have been able to enjoy the cabin and rustic atmosphere longer!! Will definitely return! The host Richie introduced himself and inquired if there was anything we needed or questions we had that he could help answer! Very hospitable!! Amazing sunrise and sunset picture advantages to add yo your memories!! Highly recommend!!
Cute cottage on the lake. Rustic charm. Linen on the beds were quality and comfort like a nice hotel. Beds were medium firm and comfortable. Kerig coffee maker made the morning coffee easy to get so you can watch the sunrise over the lake. Just stunning views.
Some upgrades to think about would be rug in bathroom the bath mat towel was not enough. More towels for showering and a shower head, maybe a few more pillows, paper towel, tissue. Over all a great stay would love to come back and bring family and friends.
