Discover the kind of Northwoods retreat that is becoming increasingly hard to find. Set on ~10 acres north of McMillan, this exceptionally maintained rustic camp sits high above Deadman’s Lake, offering privacy, elevation, timber, and water frontage all in one remarkable Upper Peninsula property. The setting is the first thing you will notice. The camp is positioned atop a large hill overlooking the lake, creating a peaceful, elevated vantage point with beautiful views through the mature white pine trees. A large screened-in porch provides the perfect place to take in the lake, enjoy morning coffee, listen to the wind through the pines, or unwind after a day outdoors. Whether used as a hunting camp, fishing retreat, family getaway, or quiet escape, this property offers the classic U.P. camp experience with a setting that feels private, scenic, and timeless. The land features a mature mix of maple hardwoods and large mature white pine, growing on sandy loam soils that provide both natural beauty and excellent access throughout the property. A developed dirt road system makes it easy to move around the acreage, while the large gated and arched entryway gives the property a strong sense of privacy and arrival. The surrounding forest provides excellent recreational potential, natural wildlife habitat, and the kind of wooded atmosphere buyers look for in a true Northern Michigan getaway. Seller estimates approximately 400 feet of frontage on Deadman's Lake. No survey is available; all measurements are approximate and should be verified by purchaser. A long private staircase leads down from the camp toward the dock, creating a direct connection between the elevated cabin site and the water below. The private boat launch adds convenience and usability, making it easy to enjoy the lake on your own terms. Spend your days fishing, boating, paddling, swimming, or simply relaxing at the water’s edge. The camp itself is rustic, well cared for, and full of character. It currently has no plumbing and operates off of propane for radiant wall heat light, and cooking, keeping things simple, efficient, and true to the traditional camp lifestyle. For those seeking a low-maintenance retreat without unnecessary complications, this property delivers. According to the seller, the camp was constructed approximately 10 years ago and has been exceptionally maintained giving buyers confidence while still preserving the charm and simplicity of a classic lake camp. Whether you are looking for a seasonal retreat, a basecamp for outdoor adventures, or a private waterfront escape in the the Upper Peninsula, this Deadman’s Lake camp offers an inviting and authentic opportunity. Come experience the quiet, the view, the woods, and the water for yourself. This is a true Northwoods camp—private, scenic, and ready for its next owner to enjoy.
