Welcome the entire crew to Lost on Purpose, a one-of-a-kind waterfront cabin on Lost Lake in Wetmore, Michigan. Sleeping up to 12 guests with 2 full bathrooms, this spacious Upper Peninsula retreat is perfect for families, friends, and adventure groups looking to unplug and play.
Tucked away on a quiet, wooded lot, the cabin offers privacy, peaceful lake views, and direct access to nature. Lost Lake is an all-sport lake, ideal for swimming, fishing, boating, and paddling. Spend your days on the water using the provided kayaks, pedal boat and canoe, then unwind under the stars in the hot tub after a full day outdoors.
Inside, there's room for everyone to gather and relax, enjoy two dining areas for shared meals and game nights, plus a pool table for some friendly competition. Whether you're here to explore or slow things down, this cabin delivers comfort and fun in every season.
We proudly welcome snowmobilers, ATV riders, and side-by-sides, with trail access less than a mile from the door. The Buckhorn Restaurant is just 2 miles away and offers recreational fuel, making it an easy stop before or after a day on the trails.
When you're ready to explore beyond the lake, you're perfectly positioned for day trips to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Tahquamenon Falls, and Kitch-iti-kipi. Lost on Purpose isn't just a place to stay, it's your basecamp for a true Upper Peninsula adventure, no matter the season.
