The Cabin is owned and operated by David & Nancy Young, along with Tom & Becky TerBeek, their daughter and son-in-law.

David has appreciated spending time in the UP since before the Mackinac Bridge was built! He and Nancy were able to acquire there first parcel of property here in the 1970s , and build a cabin for their own personal enjoyment in 1987, where five generations of their family have had the pleasure of making so many wonderful memories. Tom & Becky had the incredible opportunity to retire in 2020 and make this their permanent home, which was such a blessing!

Their children and grandchildren encouraged them to purchase and update the Cabin, with the goal of making it available for others to be able to have their own memorable experiences here in this magnificent environment!

Tom and Becky live in the family cabin nearby and will assist their guests in any way possible to make this a remarkable vacation!

This property is very secluded and located directly on Upper Holmes Lake. This is a non public lake and there are also 200 private acres of land for your recreational use.

The Cabin has it’s own private dock, with a fishing boat, canoe and paddle boat provided. If you do like to fish, the lake is home to panfish, bass, pike and walleye. If you enjoy watching and listening for birds, you will likely see and hear loons swimming on the lake. Bald eagles nest in the trees around the lake. And songbirds are plentiful — the whippoorwills especially like to make their presence known!

You may hear wolves and coyotes howling at night, or see some deer, bear, beaver, or maybe even a moose! Also, if it is a clear night and the conditions are right, you may be able to view the Northern Lights!

Feel free to swim in the lake, if that is an activity you enjoy!

There is a railroad track crossing the north end of the lake, which is quite a sight when a train comes by!

You are welcome to bring your own kayak for use on the lake. If you have a bigger boat, the Michigamme Reservoir is only five minutes away, where you will find a great boat launch and plentiful fishing. While they are not permitted on the property itself, there are also great trails nearby for ATVs and ORVs.

This property is centrally located in the western UP, just 5 miles from the historic small town of Crystal Falls. It is perfectly situated for any number of day trips, including, but not limited to — both Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, the Porcupine Mountains, Pictured Rocks, Copper Harbor, several waterfalls and rapids, museums, historical sites, casinos — the list goes on and on!

If you are looking for a secluded, private getaway, you have found it here at the Cabin! Disconnect from the outside world for a bit, reconnect with each other, come enjoy the unspoiled beauty in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and make your own wonderful lifetime memories!

We look forward to meeting you and having you as our guests!
