Turtle Cabin – Gichigami Island Properties
2 Bedrooms • 1 Bathroom • Sleeps 4 • Lake Views • Beach Access
Tucked among the trees along Amnicon Bay, Turtle Cabin offers a peaceful Lake Superior retreat with beautiful lake views and a private path leading down to the sandy shoreline. Thoughtfully updated while maintaining its rustic island cabin character, this two-bedroom, one-bath retreat is an inviting place to slow down and enjoy the natural surroundings of Madeline Island.
Here, you get the best of both worlds — the privacy and beauty of a wooded island setting paired with easy access to a beautiful stretch of sandy beach and the expansive waters of Anishinaabeg-Gichigami. A path from the cabin leads toward the shoreline, where a deck platform just off the beach provides another place to relax, take in the views, and enjoy the sounds of Lake Superior.
Inside, Turtle Cabin features a comfortable living space, kitchen, and a sunroom that brings the surrounding landscape into the cabin and offers a relaxing spot to enjoy the lake and woods throughout your stay. Outdoors, guests can enjoy the deck, sandy beach, and an outdoor shower — a particularly welcome feature after a day spent along the shoreline.
Whether you're starting the morning in the sunroom, following the path down to the beach, or ending the day overlooking Lake Superior, Turtle Cabin combines simple comforts with the relaxed character of a classic island retreat.
