About this property

Cozy, super-clean cabin minutes from Lake Superior & the Porkies!

CJ's "cabin" is located in the former mining town of White Pine. About 5 miles from the lake, it's the perfect base camp to explore the UP, hike the Porcupine Mountains, hunt agates on the beach or just relax. Most of the homes in White Pine were built as identical "company houses", but CJ's has been remodeled with raised ceilings and wood paneling for the rustic, cozy feel of a cabin retreat. The master sleeps two on a queen Tempur-Pedic memory foam mattress. The small bedroom sleeps one and the foldout sofa in the living room sleeps two kids or one adult.

Our mission is to provide you with the cleanest, coziest place to relax - a place that feels more like a home away from home than a rental. We have both a Keurig coffee machine and a drip pot. K-cups are provided. There is a new grill and propane is provided. Both the refrigerator and shower water are filtered and you don't have to worry about bringing your own shampoo or bath products; all the bedding and towels are new and we pride ourselves on fast communication to help you with whatever you need.

CJ's is just minutes from the Konteka Black Bear Lounge and snowmobile trails, and a short drive will take you on beautiful adventures exploring the Porcupine Mountains or to the beach. Please note: The property IS NOT on Lake Superior. White Pine is about a 5 minute drive from the lake. The snowmobile trails are still in great condition and the ski hill is open in the Porkies!

If you want to stream and chill or game after exploring the area, we have 500 Mbps Internet with Roku and Sling, so just be sure to bring your login/password info for whatever apps you use.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: For those who have stayed with us before or those of you reading the reviews, the PRIVATE BEACH WILL NOT be available in 2026.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Load and start the dishwasher

Strip any used beds and gather used towels

Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish

Turn off the lights and lock the doors

Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

Bins from garage should be taken to curb Tuesday morning by 8AM if it falls during your stay. All garbage must be bagged and in bins.

CJ has done great job with this clean, cozy cabin-like rental. Easy drive to Porkies and a relaxing home base. While neighbors were close by, neighborhood was quiet. Great for couple or friends retreat.

About the host

Hosted by CJ Skoviak

Host profile image

As a native of of White Pine, I'm excited to open up our home which is just a few miles away from Lake Superior and the Porcupine Mountains. From agate hunting to skiing the Porkies, jumping off the Bonanza (Greenwoods to the locals) waterfalls to snowmobiling, I've had many adventures in the U.P. I'll never forget... and hope you do the same!

Why they chose this property

Part of the charm of White Pine is the "cookie cutter" suburban layout of matching homes. This company house, however, has been completely remodeled inside with raised, wooden ceilings for a more individual, rustic feel, and all the beds have brand new sheets, blankets, comforters and pillows. No musty bedding or towels! The driveway will be cleared for snowmobile trailers and trucks in the winter.

What makes this property unique

We pride ourselves on being super-clean!
Brand-new bedding.
New bath towels.
Heat, AC, ceiling fans.
Keurig Coffee, Tea.
All the amenities you will need.
