Peaceful Vintage 1920's Lakefront Red Log Cabin

Coming down Sunset View Lane, the sign at the end of our driveway, lets you know you've arrived at Camp David! A peaceful and cozy 100 year old red log cabin. Rumor has it, this former resort cabin, was used by gangsters from Chicago! The signatures in the logs will have you standing and reading who visited this cabin over the years and when they visited! We've seen signatures from 1919! This charming red cabin was built from logs floating in the lake. Featuring 100 feet of lake front & fabulous sandy bottom for swimming. The cabin sits 40 feet from the water and is 600 square feet. Complete with modern appliances, refrigerator, gas stove and microwave. Adjoining the kitchen is the living room with a smart TV, cable and wifi is available. There is a rustic bath with shower, four season porch with two full beds. Forced air heat & window A/C. We have two exterior only security cameras. This is on at all times for security only. Porch features original logs and vaulted ceiling. A special west facing view of incredible sunsets, will not be forgotten. Spot for great campfires! A rare find, this is our personal cabin which we like to share with others.

Everything was good! If I were to say anything negative at all, the cabin ceilings are short. And there is a beam in the middle. I am short so it didn’t bother me at all, but my husband is 6’6 and he hit his head twice. But again, not a deal breaker! The lake was beautiful and the area was fantastic!

We absolutely adored this little cabin! It was perfect for our end of summer family get-away. The lake is so clean and clear and it was a blast fishing from the dock. Lots to do in neighboring towns (mini golf, little shops, mystery maze) The cabin itself was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely view from the cabin & dock

THIS COZY CABIN IS AS CUTE AS THE PICTURES IN THE LISTING! This is a comfortable place for a couple or (small) family. The cabin felt "rustic" but still had a full kitchen, hot water, and some comfy chairs for evening sitting. For us, the best thing was the great view of the lake.Also, good hosts--They responded quickly when we had questions before booking, and gave clear details for finding the property and gaining access. The cabin was well-stocked with thoughtful items.

Vintage cabin on lovely E Fox Lake

Camp David is a small comfy vintage cabin very nicely situated on a beautiful clean lake. It is basically one room with a porch facing the lake that has been transformed into the bedroom. We really enjoyed our time there spending time on the dock, listening to loons, and exploring the lake in our kayaks. We appreciated the comfy furniture and the well-stocked kitchen. The bathroom definitely needs updating but it worked. The grill and outside furniture were in tough shape but we cleaned a couple chairs up and used them. Overall it felt like it was an old cabin with time-worn charm that’s been in a family for many years. Pro tip - watch out if you’re tall, the cabin has a low ceiling!

Short stay getaway

The cabin is nice.. I read some reviews and with the term "rustic" I wasn't sure what to expect but it was nice! The cabin is not brand new but it is fine. The bathroom is small but everything worked and it served its purpose! Everything works as it should and there are enough kitchen supplies and games/etc to keep you busy. The area is nice and quiet and the lake is great. It is shallow by the dock but the water is clear and it is deep enough for adults to swim and float around, kayak, boat etc. It was a nice relaxing few days away and it makes me sad to go back to the daily grind!

Camp David

Beautiful location, beautiful lake, great rustic cabin and was stocked with just about anything you need other than food. Quiet and peaceful only noise at night were the loons. My buddy and I love to fish and we found both East and West Fox Lake great for fishing, rented a pontoon boat from nearby resort in Emily who delivered it to our lake. Neighbors were super friendly and nice. Would definitely stay here again.

Old charm

It is an old building Ava you have to watch out for the low log in the middle of the structure if your taller than 5’10”! It has lots of charm and the neighbors were so so nice!
