Candy's Cabin came with several fringe benefits. It is an architectural wonder, even the interior wall are logs! The lake, a short walk, is beautiful, but we knew that already. Yes, there is swimmer's itch, but with reasonable precautions, not a problem. There is a convenience store a short walk away, with Detroit News and Free Press stands. A Wal-Mart is about half an hour away, 20 minutes if you know the way. Washer and Dryer are available. The cabin is very well equipped with TV and cable. An additional benefit: a very welcoming church, Markey Community Baptist Church is nearby.

In defense of Candy's Cabin
In my 12 or so years of renting this is my first bad review. I try very hard to please every one and make their vacation enjoyable but I have also found that I just can't plese every one. For furture renters please contact me for any problems ( if I don't know, I can't take care of them). I live right there. Thank you Candy

My husband and I and 2 teenage daughters stayed at Candys Cabin for 5 nights from August 13 - August 20, 2011. We had never been to Michigan before and wanted our girls to experience the Michigan life in a safe place. Candy's cabin gave us that and more !

The cabin was spotless (never saw one bug) and Candy left us some thoughtful gifts upon our arrival. Candy really goes above and beyond for her renters. When we arrived our first day the cabin was opened for us and fire wood was already collected and waiting. She checked in a few times during the week to make sure we had everything needed to make our stay an enjoyable one. The pictures of the cabin and surroundings you see on the internet are only half of the beauty of this place.

The water here is warm and beautiful. Its like being in Punta Cana. We swam right off the dock, which is 5 seconds from the cabin and ventured off to 2 beaches. We visited the beach at the State Park (awesome) and in Traverse City (very busy). I would recommend that if you have small children just go to the State Park - its close, about a 5 minute drive and costs 8$ for the day.

Having teenage girls we also went shopping at the outlet about 20 minutes from the cabin. On the way to the cabin we stopped and did lots of shopping in Birch Run. Coming from Canada this was a nice break from the drive. We also went to a great Pizza/Bowling place called Freds in Roscommon. The pizza was amazing and Tuesdays are half off pizza nights ! There are also ample icecream places close by too with some unusual icecream we had never heard of in Canada.

We would love to return to Candys Cabin next year. The drive from Canada was worth it to expereince such beautiful beaches and water in Michigan. Candy and her husband, Gary are such wonderful people and really go the extra mile to ensure your stay is a memorable one.

See you next year Candy and Gary !!!

Couldn't have asked for a better spot to have a vacation. The cabin was more than I expected. Very clean and well stocked. Beautiful Lake. Would like to come back again.

Candy's Cabin was every bit of my sons dream come true! As an avid "outdoors man" my 8yr. old repeatedly told me, he
"always wanted to sleep in a real log cabin". So I looked up log cabins. Talk about being overwhelmed! The list was endless (and quite expensive I might add). After a sincere prayer I "randomly"clicked on C.Cabin website. Bingo! It was genuine, cozy and very affordable. So we called Candy, we booked and went on the spur of the moment. We also,happened to be the last visitors of the season. Which turned out to be the best timing for our family. It also turned out to be the best vacation we had. Words cannot express the beauty of the property. The cabin was clean, inviting, and filled with rustic charm. The thoughtful touches
throughout the cabin were delightful (I won't spoil the surprises for you!). The grounds were tidy and homey. The lake was crystal clear and shallow the length of the pier. This made for totally safe play for my kids and a super relaxing time for me!
Being late in the season, we were able to enjoy the fireplace and firepit. My kids loved bringing in the chopped wood and learned how to start a fire, they also loved roasting hotdogs and marshmallows in the outdoor fire pit. My daughter's favorite thing to do was to look for wildflowers to put at the table for meals.
Beside all of this, was the friendly and hospitable welcome we received all up and down the lakefront. We couldn't ask for more, expect for more time there...
To sum things up: Hands down, it was better than Florida!!
We voted this to be our official vacation spot, and we can't wait fo go back! Waiting in Chicago.....

The location of the cabin was convenient. All amenities were fit for a queen. Everything we needed for a fuss-free vacation was provided and enjoyed by all.

What a wonderful time we had. Very clean and well loved cabin. No bugs! Clean kitchen and bathroom. Clean sheets. Clean everything! The owner's thought of everything. Kitchen had everything we needed - even a toaster oven and microwave.
Great view of the lake from all of the front windows. Nice to wake up to. Lake was chilly for us Southern Folks (Labor Day), but we still went swimming and had a great time! Bring pool shoes to wear in the water in case of zebra muscle shells.
Our short stay still brought back many fond memories of Summers on Higgins Lake ~ they don't make lakes like this in North Carolina!

This was a most delightful stop on our Michigan vacation. Candy and her husband were most accomodating and great hosts. The cabin was very peaceful and we had a great time. I would love to go back some time and certainly give this little bit of Michigan a positive feedback.

Great cabin, great location, right on the lake. I can highly recommmend this place.

This cabin is right behind our house and is one of the more charming places on the lake. It is very beautifully decorated and has a great access.
