There is something instantly relaxing about staying in a cabin. They are typically in a quiet and serene setting covered by nature. Trips To Discover recently published the 10 best cabin destinations in the country and a Michigan area made the list.

"Cabin getaways can satisfy the needs and wants of both outdoor lovers and luxury travelers," they said. Opting for a cabin provides you with the luxury of not having to pack or pitch a tent. In addition, most come with the comfort of your own bathroom, small dining area, and lounge space in case of rain. Of course that comes at a price as cabin life is certainly more expensive than bringing your own tent. And, cabins in some cases also allow you to settle down in outdoor locations that can't always accommodate a tent.

When you envision arriving at a cabin, you most likely picture a brown log wood-like exterior filled with bunk beds and a small porch area. It can be situated along a lake or on the peak of a mountain. Regardless, there is a stillness to the environment. Your next few days will then be filled with lake swims, hikes, skiing, grilling, smores, or maybe just reading a book inside. Whatever you choose, your cabin is the haven that enables all of those memorable activities that are synonymous with the escape.

The Michigan area named among the best cabin destinations, enables almost any nature-filled activity you desire.

"These areas are fun to visit during the summer for boating, hiking, sunbathing, and fishing, and also during the winter for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and luge," Trips To Discover states.

In Pure Michigan's feature, they detailed the coziest cabins in the state. In this, they named the Balsams Resort – St. Ignace, Crooked Tree Cabins, and Cedars Resort (30 minutes from the lake) as destinations not to be missed along Lake Michigan. With over 320 miles of shoreline, this area of Michigan has been named among the best cabin destinations a style for everyone.

The summer cabin destination allows you to enjoy water sports, boating, and fishing. Don't be discouraged when it gets cold, however. Most cabins along Lake Michigan remain open then as well if your preference is to cross-country ski, or start a fire.
