Your Up North Log Cabin Escape Near Lower Herring Lake Awaits. Tucked in one of Benzie County’s most beautiful and peaceful corners, this cozy log cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and natural wonder. Just a short stroll from the clear waters of Lower Herring Lake, this rare opportunity puts you within reach of kayaking, canoeing, fishing, water skiing. The lake is a true hidden gem, surrounded by wildlife and bursting with Pure Michigan beauty. Step inside to find a welcoming interior where you can warm up by the wood stove or step outside to enjoy evenings around a crackling bonfire. The screened-in porch is the sellers’ favorite spot to unwind, with the soft sound of Lake Michigan’s waves in the distance setting the tone for relaxed living. The home is move-in ready, and most furnishings are negotiable—making it an easy transition to your new Up North getaway. A 24x40 pole barn with two animal stalls offers excellent storage or the perfect setup for a small hobby farm, thanks to the property's former use for horses. The spacious parcel may also be split (with township approval), offering potential to build a second home or guest retreat for friends and family. Summer temperatures are often 10 degrees cooler here thanks to the Lake Michigan coastal microclimate—perfect for enjoying the great outdoors without the inland heat. And for those who love to explore, the Upper Herring Lake Nature Preserve is just down the road, featuring a diverse mix of meadow, pond, marsh, and lake habitats, along with a winding boardwalk trail that lets you experience the preserve's rich natural life up close. Homes in this area don’t come up often—don’t miss your chance to make this peaceful slice of northern Michigan yours.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
