Your one-of-a-kind, retro, cabin basecamp in Cadillac, Michigan
A rustic-lite step back in time, with a twist!
Our cabins? Picture-perfect, '40s glamp-charm with just enough modern touches to not make you miss Wi-Fi too much (don't worry, we do have fairly reliable Wi-Fi). It's the Northern Michigan getaway you didn't know you needed. Cozy, rustic, retro, and unapologetically nostalgic.
Book your stay online now for a dose of simple pleasures and a hefty side of "up north" vibes. Fair warning: it's all about the cabin life here, and we're miles away from being a "proper" resort....yup, that means no room service or welcoming
committee (we don't even have a front desk). Our "no frills" vibe is part of our charm but it's not for everyone.

Experience a different kind of "Up North" Charm
Leave the hustle and bustle behind and step back into a simpler time. Reminiscent of a vintage motor court, Mackinaw Timbers is perfect for anyone in search of different take on "up north" Michigan charm and nostalgia.
We're a family run camp -literally - and we've thoughtfully restored a 1940's motor inn leaving much of the original charm, but that also means some leaks & creaks, ladybug & bumblebee visitors, maybe even a spider guest or two (to be fair,they were here first)... if you're looking for a manned check-in counter or a 'ritzy' resort experience there are other options in the region that we'd be happy to recommend.
A Unique Lodging Experience
Easy & Relaxing
Our cabins bookable online (complete with contactless check-in at the camp). We're located on a (mostly) quiet, rural country road minutes from local attractions and events in downtown Cadillac, Michigan.
Unique, Thoughtfully Decorated Cabins
We did our best to capture our favorite parts of vingtage, northern Michigan cabin charm. Every cabin has its own theme that we hope you'll love as much as we do!
Modern Amenities in a Vintage Setting
Our guests enjoy up-to-date conveniences wrapped in the cozy embrace of vintage ambiance.
Pet-Friendly Accommodations
Our pets are part of our family too, which is why we offer two pet-friendly cabins (book cabin 5 or cabin 10 for a pet-inclusive getaway).

We had three cabins with friends. Everyone was impressed with the cleanliness of the cabins. Very nice from start to finish. Owner contact was impressive the entire trip. Do not hesitate to stay here. We will return when back in area.

Absolutely loved the cabins, very clean inside. The campground is within an hour drive to Crystal mountain and Traverse city, would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
