Site Licenses
Lakeside Cabins Resort has been developed as a Membership Resort and is fully licensed by the state of Michigan as a private campground. Although technically a campground, Lakeside Cabins Resort is governed by a homeowners’ association under specific rules and regulations. These rules include the specifications and guidelines for the purchase, sale and use of the licenses for the sites at Lakeside Cabins Resort.
Each license grants the purchaser the right to place a cabin on the site, occupy the site, and sell, will or give away the license to the site at a later date. Each purchaser makes a one-time payment for the site license and then pays annual dues to the homeowners’ association thereafter in order for the association to operate the Resort.
Each site has different dimensions depending on various factors including the terrain, surrounding ravines, roads and the price of the site. The average site exceeds 3000 square feet and is sufficiently large to comfortably handle one of our cedar-sided cabins and a porch and/or deck of between 150 and 600 square feet.
Site license prices start at $20,000 and range up to $60,000. Our average site license price sold has been approximately $30,000, and over 190 of our original 225 site licenses have been sold through 2023.
