The Monarch

Escape to your lakefront cabin on Lance Lake, where peaceful surroundings and direct water access create the perfect Northern Michigan getaway. With only one nearby neighbor, this secluded setting offers space to truly unwind while still being close to the area’s top destinations.

Step outside and you’re right on the water. The shallow-entry shoreline makes it easy to wade in and enjoy the lake, whether you're fishing, launching a kayak, or heading out on the row boat or paddleboat. The private dock is perfect for slow mornings with coffee or quiet afternoons taking in the view. Don’t forget, we provide fishing poles & tackle!

Designed for connection and comfort, the home sleeps 6 across three bedrooms with two king beds, one full bed, and a twin XL trundle—ideal for families, couples, or small groups traveling together. The layout gives everyone space to relax without feeling crowded.

When you're ready for some indoor fun, the game room delivers. Enjoy Pac-Man, foosball, darts, and a selection of board games—perfect for rainy days or evening competition after time on the lake.

Outdoors, the experience continues with a lakeside fire pit complete with seating. Spend your evenings gathered around the fire, or unwind in the hammock overlooking the water as the day winds down.

The location makes it easy to explore Northern Michigan. You’re just 35 minutes from Mackinac Island ferry access, 30 minutes to Petoskey, and 20 minutes to Gaylord. A lavender farm is only 1 mile away, with wine tasting and popular elk viewing areas all within a short drive.

Thoughtful touches are included to make your stay seamless, including coffee and a welcome gift basket to get you started. Dogs are welcome, so you don’t have to leave anyone behind.

Book your stay on Lance Lake and experience a private, activity-filled getaway that brings together relaxation, nature, and convenience—summer and fall dates fill quickly.
