About this property

Cabin on 25 Acres of Forest

Come to play, explore, or just relax. A lite remodel has kept its rustic charm, and freshened it up a bit.
Steps away from the Cabin are trails and hills of the 25 acre mature forest. The Campfire area is light by torches and decorative lighting. Black River is a mere 1 mile hike through the forest. The new paved bicycle path a mile away down the bluff.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This cabin has everything you could need for a great getaway. We did plenty of cooking there and found the kitchen to be well stocked. Even the fire pit area is exceptionally comfortable, with plenty of firewood ready and waiting. Beautiful energy! This place is loved and well taken care of. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend much time in the trails on the property, so that will be an adventure for next time. An absolute diamond in the rough!

The perfect little getaway

Beautiful historic area and the place was very clean and had everything we needed. Easy check-in and Charlie was wonderful. Very helpful and kind. We enjoyed riding the Iron Belle trail on our bikes, explored Interstate Falls and Little Girls Point, and had fantastic food at Jagger’s Ore House restaurant at the bottom of the hill. Great stay!!

Great place for peace and quiet

We stayed here for a week of remote work and skiing. The place was exactly what we needed. Fast internet, big enough for my husband and I with our small dog, and quiet! Also great: proximity to Big Powderhorn and Snow Basin. We worked half days and skied half days. Highly recommend!

Had a great stay at the cabin! Super quiet and peaceful. Little Girls Point is a must see for anyone new to the area, Lake Superior is amazing and the beach is full of beautiful stones. Club 28 had great food, unfortunately didn't get a chance to try Jagger's Ore House because of a power outage for the whole area. Highly recommend this trip!

About the host

Hosted by Charlie Schafer

Host profile image
My wife and I love to hike and enjoy the splendour of upper MI. We decided to make our wooded cabin property available for other nature enthusiasts to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The property is in the Anvil neighborhood on a bluff. A walk around Anvil offers views of up to 10 miles and other bluffs. The Cabin is located on 25 Acres of wonderful older growth forest with rolling hills, wildlife and natural fauna. Guests enjoy XC skiing and snow shoeing through the winter, while hiking and biking in the summer. All the ski Hills are a short drive away.

What makes this property unique

The seclusion of our forest is not found on 99% of rental properties. "Da Cabin in Da Woods" are off a paved and plowed township road. Than you venture back into the woods for your own enjoyment with nothing but woodland for hundreds of acres. Our 25 Acres are on the edge of modern services, while having the back country out the back door.
