Anam Cara Cabin on Lake Medora

A winding gravel road leads through forest to a handcrafted stone and timber cabin set on twelve and a half secluded acres along Lake Medora. The arrival unfolds slowly, with perennial gardens and a stone path guiding the final approach. This two bedroom, two and a half bathroom cabin sits directly on the lake, its first impression shaped by still water, forest hush, and a sense of complete privacy. Within moments, expansive windows frame the shoreline, and the texture of wood, stone, and light sets a calm, grounded tone. The setting feels removed yet intentional, designed for presence rather than distraction. The lake remains the constant point of reference.

The main level opens into a single flowing space for cooking, dining, and relaxing, anchored by a wood burning fireplace and long lake-facing sightlines. Window seats, crafted details, and an enclosed porch create natural pauses for reading or conversation. The kitchen is compact but fully functional, positioned to remain part of the shared experience.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers a queen bed and lake views filtered through trees. A second queen bedroom shares the same quiet character. Two full bathrooms on this level are finished with natural materials and thoughtful detailing. A small sleeping alcove provides an additional option for children.

Outdoor life is woven throughout the property. Multiple decks, a fire pit, and a rocky promontory extend daily living to the shoreline. Two sandy coves, a dock, and canoe access encourage time on the water. An outdoor shower nook is tucked into the landscape for use after swimming or hiking.

Life here follows a natural rhythm shaped by seasons. Summer days move between paddling, trails, and long evenings by the fire. Winter brings snow, silence, and access to nearby skiing and Nordic terrain.

With its handcrafted architecture, extensive private shoreline, and direct connection to Lake Medora, Anam Cara Cabin offers a composed and immersive way to experience Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula.
