About Toms Lake Cabin
Toms Lake Cabin sits on a knoll overlooking a semi-open area surrounded by tall pines and Toms Lake. The setting is ideal for a rustic Upper Peninsula Michigan getaway. Many visitors return year after year and this location has been lovingly described in online reviews as the best place on earth.
The structure was built in 1991 with generous donations from Rapid River Rustic Homes, which contributed the basic cabin package, and RE-EDCO Incorporated, which did much of the finish work. Furniture construction was done by the USDA - Forest Service.
