Come experience “up north” in all of its rugged glory. Nestled among trails in the Hiawatha region of Munising, MI (next to Haywire Trail #8), The Log Cabin Retreat is also situated in very close proximity to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
This is the PERFECT location with quick access to everything the area has to offer. Enjoy snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice climbing and ice fishing in the winter; hiking, ATVing, mountain biking, swimming, beaching, fishing and kayaking/canoeing in the summer. There is plenty to do in the area and the Log Cabin Crew is ALWAYS happy to help you out!
The Log Cabin Retreat is surrounded by 20 acres of private, wooded property. Luxuriate in solitude or enjoy Munising – your choice! The conveniences of town are just a short (10 minute) drive away. The famous Bear Trap Inn (restaurant and bar) is just 1/4 of a mile down the road: Our guests have always loved this place. Kewadin Casino in Christmas, MI is about a 20 minutes’ drive.
The cabin is quaint enough for one family, yet accommodating enough to comfortably host larger parties of up to 16. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the basement and main floor levels, plus a loft.
Park your snowmobile trailers and trucks in the large driveway – there's tons of space to pull in and pull out (no need to back up). Stoke up the fire and relax. Imbibe at the bar. Take in forest and wildlife views from the comfort of the deck. Cook up a feast on the gas grill. Roast marshmallows and enjoy each other's company around the fire.
The cabin is yours to enjoy during your stay. There’s plenty of room here to do what you like. Make memories; do things your way. The kitchen is fully stocked. The living room is plush. The basement is fully furnished; laid-back. All bedding, bath towels and toiletries are included.

Our second visit this winter for snowmobiling trip. We can’t say enough good things about this cottage. Checks all the boxes. We will be back next season.
Had a group of 7 for a snowmobile trip. Lots of space for vehicles and toy haulers. Fantastic location with the Bear Trap Bar/Resraurant right down the road. Great accommodations. We will definitely come back in the future.
The house was great! Clean and comfy beds. We had 4 trucks and trailers and plenty of room to pull up and easily unload close to the house. Good location for snowmobiling to go any direction. We booked it again for next winter for a week.
House and location met all of our needs. Group of 8 ladies used it as a home base between hiking, a Pictured Rocks cruise and chasing waterfalls. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen as we prepared all of our meals there.
What an amazing, well equipped cabin! There was 8 of us that stayed to explore Pictured Rocks and there was plenty of room to space out, kitchen was well equipped and the beds were super comfy! One of the best VRBO rentals to date.. and Dave was very responsive!
This was our second time staying at the Log Cabin Retreat (2018 with friends, 2025 with family). The cabin has a great location close to the trails and Pictured Rocks. It was well appointed with everything we needed, and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
This place was perfect for our trail riding adventure. Wide open space for parking multiple vehicles, trailers and machines. The interior of the house is really cool and quite unique. Would very much recommend this for large families or groups.
We were here with parents (grandparents) and teens for a mountain biking, hiking and boating trip to explore pictured rocks area and then head across the UP. The 10mile hike along the pictured rocks shoreline was absolutely amazing. This caving was fantastic — super comfy beds and plenty of space for our crew. Ample parking for our Silverado and boat trailer. We would highly recommended this unique property and hope to be back!
Really nice place to stay for big family. Close to munising beaches and falls. We had a wonderful time staying in this cabin.
