About this property

Welcome to Pilgrim's Village Resort

Pilgrim's Village Resort offers simple motel rooms and rustic cottages set on a lakeside property along Lake Mitchell’s east shore in Cadillac, Michigan. The accommodation options feature an up-north charm appreciated by returning guests, with some noting the older, well-maintained cabins provide a cozy retreat near the water. Each cottage typically includes amenities like fire pits, grills, and picnic tables, lending to a casual, outdoors-focused atmosphere.

The resort includes an on-site bait and tackle shop, highly rated for its well-stocked inventory and knowledgeable staff, which operates late into the evening. While the property does not have a restaurant or fitness center, it provides free Wi-Fi and parking, and welcomes both families and pets. The private beach and docks offer convenient access to fishing and boating, appealing especially to anglers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Located just a short walk from Mitchell State Park, visitors can easily extend their stay to explore nearby lakes, forest trails, and water activities. The surrounding area includes popular sites such as Huron-Manistee National Forests and Lake Cadillac, making this a practical base for those interested in nature and outdoor recreation. Nearby airports include Cherry Capital Airport and Manistee County Blacker Airport, each reachable by car within an hour.

Though some rooms and cottages reflect an older style, the cleanliness and affordability contribute to a positive stay. This resort suits travelers seeking a straightforward, family- and pet-friendly place focused on fishing and lake activities rather than upscale hotel amenities.

We stay here every year on our annual ice fishing/snowmobile trip. Easy access to the lake and trails! Cabins are old and dated but I say that on a good note, they have a nice up north charm to them! Also a well stocked bait shop on site is awesome! Reasonable rates as well.

We rented one of the "private cottages" on the shores of lake Mitchell. Fantastic location! It was a very comfortable super clean, older, very spacious cottage with a fully stocked kitchen and a great lakeside restaurant/bar just a few cottages away. Beautiful sunsets and a really great staff. We really enjoyed our stay. Very affordable.

This is an excellent place to stay! I stayed in the motel. It was really clean and had plenty of seating inside and it even had 2 chairs in front of each room. I walked to the boat dock and let my pup get in the water. The sunset was so beautiful!

Great little Resort right on Lake mitchell! Older rooms but very nice well worth the price they're charging. The owners are very nice. The cabins have fire pits grills and picnic tables by them included with the cabin . The hotel rooms are very comfortable. The bait shop is stocked to the gills for any species Fish in the area that you are here to catch. Would definitely recommend. It is conveniently located near several great restaurants and other businesses in the area.
