Fully equipped kitchen meets all your cooking needs; refrigerator/freezer, gas range, double sink, microwave, coffee pot, full size washer and dryer, gas forced air furnace, but there is no air conditioning. Comfortable furnishings and lots of charm. Fire pit, dock, kayaks, canoe and row boat. Quiet and peaceful; frogs, loons, geese, ducks, herons, otters, waterlilies and sunsets!

Additional guest cottage available to families needing two additional sleeping spots. The Guest Cottage is a private sleeping space with its own deck. Located just steps away from the main house, newly finished with queen bed, chairs, dresser and ceiling fan. No running water, must use main house bathrooms. Rental rate is an additional $50 a night, plus additional cleaning fee of $25. Contact owner if interested.

Loads of fun attractions are just minutes away and include: Mackinac Island, Lake Michigan sand dunes, light houses, golf, historic Fort Mackinaw, and quaint towns like Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix and Cross Village give everyone something to do! Nearby farms offer cherry picking and wineries. Cheboygan is just 15 miles to the east and has shopping and weekly band concerts and farmers' market twice a week. Close to I-75.

Ok stay
Bathrooms are small, the hammock outside was the neighbors. It has only one big bed and three very tiny beds upstairs. Neighbors houses was way to close, not very secluded. Otherwise decent little place. I would not stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Veronica Wright

Host profile image
Hello! Welcome to The Lancaster Water Lily -- we purchased the property in 2018 and have enjoyed sharing this lovely place with many families and a truly wonderful northern Michigan experience.

I (Veronica) was born and raised in the Detroit area. I graduated from Grosse Pointe South High and attended MSU. My husband, Randy, and I met while counselors at Camp Walden - just a few minutes SE of Cheboygan.

We now live in Omaha, Nebraska. Randy is an attorney. I taught school and stayed home with our four children. They're all grown and married now and we have 5 grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

We had always wanted to have a cottage and now we love sharing this special place with you. Our hope is that your family will find that a stay at the Water Lily will bring your family together in a new and relaxing environment. Enjoy the time together to play games, use the boats and see the many sites northern Michigan offers.

What makes this property unique

The Lancaster Water Lily has a special, quintessential cabin feel. Completely made of rough hewn logs, it boasts a rock fireplace and vaulted ceilings that add loads of charm. It is comfortable yet rustic. The lake views are inspiring and peaceful, the feeling is uniquely Michigan.
You won't find a better place to vacation.

Welcome to Northern Michigan!
Randy and Veronica Wright
