There’s something special about mornings by the water, the quiet ripple of the lake, a bit of mist hanging in the air, and everything just feeling a little slower. That’s the everyday vibe at Martin Lake, just outside Gaylord, Michigan. It’s peaceful, tucked away, and full of that Up North charm that makes weekends stretch a little longer. Tucked within a well-kept community, this cabin at 2047 W Martin Lake Rd is exactly what a Northern Michigan retreat should be: relaxed, inviting, and right on the water. Set on a gentle slope toward the lake, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath getaway offers 640 square feet of cozy, sunlit living space with a walkout deck that practically begs you to sit and stay awhile. Inside, it’s all about simple comfort. The open living area feels like a warm hug with its natural light, wood finishes, and easy flow to the outdoors. The home comes furnished with essentials, range, microwave, fridge, and thoughtful touches like ceiling fans and blinds to keep things breezy and bright. Whether you’re kicking back with a book or having drinks with friends after a paddle, this space adapts to your pace. Step outside and you’re just a few feet from the water, with a dock nearby for fishing, swimming, or launching your kayak into the calm. The property is part of a friendly, HOA-managed community, no short-term rentals here, which means peace and quiet stay the norm. There’s even a storage shed and carport so you can keep your gear handy and organized. And the best part? All of this lakeside serenity is listed at just $159,900, a rare price for a Michigan waterfront escape. With annual dues taking care of trash pickup, dock install, and exterior maintenance, the living is easy here, just how summer should be. So whether you’re looking for a seasonal getaway or a nature-inspired change of pace, this Martin Lake cabin might just be exactly what you need. See the full details here.
