charming U.P. hideaway!
We are so lucky to have found Black Bear Cabin for our stay in the Keweenaw! It is perfect the perfect spot for relaxing, secluded but close to everything the area has to offer. The cabin is old and rustic, but clean and cozy. It brought back happy memories of the log cabin my family stayed in during childhood vacations. Thank you, Kriss and Ray!

Cute cabin, noisy street
We stayed for a quick visit with a college family member. Cabin is very clean, and worked for me and my husband for the few days. Communication with host was great, we even adjusted our travel plans due to timing and we’re offered a night to make up for not making it there on original check in. Traffic outside the cabin was unexpected , and noisy. Bathroom was hard to navigate in/out with the ladder to the bunk above. Not much space to put your luggage. Again, it worked for the two nights we stayed and was close to the campus/main attractions.

This is such a nice little out of the way location, that is close to shopping as well. Kris was amazing with communication, even though I threw my phones in a waterfall. Highly recommend, we will stay again given the opportunity.

Great getaway spot
Nice private setting cabin but still close enough to the city for shopping and activities. The path that goes around portage lake is nice for walking and biking and leads right down to the community park and beach. Overall nice place to get away from it all.

Wonderful location!
We really enjoyed out stay at the cabin! Its location is close to Houghton and the rest of the Keweenaw! It's surrounded by woods that makes it feel so private, yet it's close to neighbors and to Chassell. The kitchen is small, but suited our needs! The cabin was cozy and comfortable! Kriss, the hostess, was fantastic! She was extremely accommodating! We loved our stay!

relaxing getaway
The cabin was very cute and cozy. We enjoyed using the fireplace and sleeping in the loft. While we had to be careful to catch the right driveway - their instructions for finding it were perfect. Everything we wanted to do was easily accessible and we still got to feel away from it all. Excellent stay and hope to return.

Discovering the Keweenaw Peninsula
For our 42nd anniversary, we decided to explore the Keweenaw Peninsula (instead of just saying, "Yes, Michigan Tech is in Houghton.") We drove the west coast ribbon road to Copper Harbor, toured Quincy Mine and Foundry, spent more time than expected at the Seaman Museum of Minerals and Gems at Michigan Tech, and hiked Estevan Pines. Each night, we came home to a cozy cabin for dinner and Scrabble. An excellent week, all told.

Great location to book
We had a great experience at Black Bear Cabin - came up for Michigan Tech hockey camp and the drive was a short from the cabin ti the college. Only enhancement I can think of it to add a washer and dryer but other than that worked perfectly for our stay.

Better than the History channel
Twas like a visit into our past, with the comforts of the present. We had a relaxing and pleasant two weeks to enjoy the wonders of nature and the character of this property. The owners were very accommodating taking care of our every need. The convenience of being 5 minutes from the boat launch topped it all off. Great place!

Great Cabin
We loved our stay here! It was a warm cozy cabin perfect for a fall getaway! The only thing that I was confused is seeing the listing and on Google Maps it looks like it is right on the lake, it is across the road. Otherwise the cabin was set up well, we had plenty of room, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful experience
We loved staying at the Black Bear's cabin. The place has a wonderful feel, feels secluded and is in a great location. As avid bikers we loved having a trail next to us and amazing mountain bike trails only a few minutes away. Kriss is a wonderful host and the communication and checking was as simple and smooth as it gets. We would love to stay again.

Wonderful retreat, great location!
My wife and I took a delayed anniversary trip to try to catch the last of the autumn colors and spend some time hiking around the Keweenaw. Black Bear is in the perfect location if you’re planning to stay within the Keweenaw… longest drive was just over an hour. Cabin was well equipped, welcoming and the wood burning fireplace was a nightly highlight. Hosts were very communicative and even worked it out for us to be able to check in early on our day of arrival. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks for a great first trip to the beautiful UP.

We loved our stay at Black Bear Cabin! It had everything you could need and was very clean and comfortable. The location is excellent, too. It’s private, yet not too far from so many wonderful attractions/scenic areas. The rental process was smooth, with great communication throughout. We look forward to staying again when we are in the area.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the log cabin from a friend who now resides outside of the U.S. We always loved the cabin and its cozy feel. When our friend decided it was time to sell, we jumped at the chance to own such a beautiful property and have never looked back. Our guests have often commented how the cabin feels like it's in the country, but is only a mile to Chassell or ten minutes to Houghton.

What makes this property unique

Cozy, quiet, peaceful. The location and decor of this cabin instantly relaxes us. We also love fires in the beautiful stone fireplace and relaxing around the outdoor fire pit.
