Who knew "Up North" could be so close to home!
Welcome to the Family Cabin at Big Rock Creek—a cozy yet well-appointed retreat perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking to relax and reconnect with nature. As the smallest of the three permanent structures on the property, this charming cabin is anything but lacking in comfort and amenities.
Step inside to find a spacious living area featuring a beautiful stone fireplace, perfect for gathering around after a day of outdoor adventures. The adjoining dining space opens onto a screened-in porch, offering breathtaking views of the lake—an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening breeze.
The fully equipped kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and brand-new (2025) cookware, utensils, and essentials to make meal prep a breeze. The cabin’s two bedrooms offer comfortable accommodations: one with a queen bed and the other with a full bed plus a twin-over bunk, ensuring plenty of sleeping space for your group. The bathroom features a large walk-in shower with a built-in seat and a spacious vanity.
Outside, you’ll find even more ways to enjoy your surroundings. Gather around the fire pit in the provided Adirondack chairs for s’mores and storytelling, or fire up the grill for a lakeside cookout. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, the Family Cabin at Big Rock Creek is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories.
