Silver Mountain Cabins #3 (King Bed, sleeps 5)

A Cozy Forest Retreat for Families, Friends & Outdoor Enthusiasts



Create lasting memories at this peaceful and family-friendly getaway in the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Nestled within the Ottawa National Forest and near the scenic Keweenaw Peninsula, Silver Mountain Cabins offer a perfect escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Just 28 miles from Michigan Tech and 10 miles from Lake Superior, you’ll be close to hiking, fishing, snowmobiling, rockhounding, and some of the region’s premier hunting grounds. We're located just down the road from Silver Mountain and the breathtaking Sturgeon River Falls.



Each stay includes a thoughtfully curated welcome book with recommendations for local hiking trails, outdoor adventures, and must-see attractions to help you make the most of your visit.



Your Private Cabin Experience



This cozy, standalone cabin is fully yours to enjoy. The main level features one bathroom and a bedroom with two twin beds, while the loft offers a spacious king bed and an additional twin — comfortably sleeping up to five guests.



We’ve recently upgraded all mattresses and bedding to ensure a restful and refreshing night’s sleep. The dining area seats four to six, and the living space comfortably accommodates three. Step outside the back door to your own private fire pit, perfect for cozy evenings under the stars.



Space to Roam & Room to Relax



Set on 22 acres of serene woodlands, the cabin is part of a larger property that includes two other guest cabins and one private cabin. Guests are invited to explore the entire property, which backs up to the Ottawa National Forest and includes:





  • A shared grill and picnic area


  • A peaceful orchard and garden


  • Private trails through the forest and around the grounds




There’s plenty of room to stretch out, unwind, and take in the natural beauty all around you.



Remote Work Ready — With Nature at Your Door



While cell service in the area may be limited, each cabin is equipped with dedicated fiber-optic internet, its own private router, and secure WiFi — perfect for remote work, video calls, or streaming your favorite shows on the two Roku TVs provided. You’ll also find a variety of books and games for relaxing downtime.



Embrace the Outdoors — Bugs and All



Nature lovers will appreciate the tranquil surroundings and spectacular night skies—some of the clearest star views in the region. Do keep in mind that we are truly immersed in nature, so occasional encounters with mosquitoes, flies, and even ladybugs are part of the experience. We regularly treat the cabins and offer additional bug spray or mid-stay service if needed to ensure your comfort.



We also have free-range chickens on the property, and when available, we love providing guests with fresh eggs. Want to say hello to the chickens? Just ask — we’re happy to introduce you!



House Rules



No smoking or vaping within the cabin or within 20 feet of any cabin.



Up to two dogs are allowed, with advance notice and with the payment of a $75/visit pet fee.  Dogs must be cleaned up after and guests are responsible for any damage that their dogs may cause.  Service animals are welcome, but may not be left unattended at any time. 



All guests must be registered and disclosed at booking. If you need to add additional guests before your arrival, please contact us so that we can adjust your reservation.



Any eligible refunds are processed per the cancellation policy, less any fees paid to the platform or incurred in processing the payment and refund. We can only refund the portion of fees we receive after these costs are calculated.



Trail Rider's Dream Basecamp



We are located directly on Silver Mountain Road (Forest Service Road 2270), providing immediate access to UTV/ATV trails and nearby connections to Snowmobile Trail #12 and #109. Ride straight from the driveway into miles of designated trail systems—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts year-round.



📍 View our location and trail connections on the Trail Riders' Basecamp page



Hospitality, Your Way



We live nearby and are always happy to assist when needed. Feel free to message or call us if you need anything during your stay. Guests are welcome to join us at the central fire pit in the evenings, or enjoy a walk through the garden when weather permits.



Interested in a garden tour or a group bonfire with dessert? Just let us know — we love meeting guests and sharing the magic of Silver Mountain Cabins with you.

Pleasant stay

My husband and I stayed here for a couple nights as we were visiting people and property nearby. This is a cute little rustic cabin, and it was perfect for our needs as it was close to those we were visiting. The king bed was comfortable, and the cabin is very quiet and clean, and it had all we needed in order to stay comfortably for a few days. The WIFI was very good. We slept well there. We initially had a minor issue with the TV that we discovered when we checked in, and it was addressed quickly. The hosts were easy to communicate with and they were so very pleasant and helpful. We would recommend this rental, and we would stay again.

We chose this location as a rather last minute decision to travel up to MTU’s homecoming football game. We needed pet friendly and we were having some difficulty finding anything available. We booked this cabin even though we knew it would be a 40 minute drive back to Houghton. If you’re looking for a quiet peaceful location this is ideal. Very remote. The outside of the cabin didn’t prove to be very inviting but stepping inside it was very cute, clean and comfortable. Well stocked with everything that we needed for our short stay. The majority of the lights didn’t work and the bathroom was very dark, so much that I was unable to apply makeup in there. Owners were extremely easy to work with answering a number of questions that I had within minutes. Overall our stay was exactly what we were looking for.

Perfect

Great, large cabin for our family of 4 plus German Shepherd. Located steps away from Ottawa National Forest, this remote location affords solitude easy access to forest trails but is also very close to Keweenaw/L'Anse Bay and Prickett Lake. Cabin was fully equipped, wifi worked well and was great value for the price. No complaints at all.

It is a nice place to get away from civilization. Access to the national forest is literally from your porch. Pretty clean, stocked kitchen. No air conditioning, but hosts provided us with fans. Great people by the way, very friendly and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Bowe

Host profile image
Our family is originally from Minnesota. We fell in love with the U.P. and moved up here permanently in 2021. You can oftentimes find one of us walking around or doing a job on the property. You are welcome to engage with us as little or as much as you like. If you need anything while on property you are welcome to knock on our door or message us through the VRBO app.

Why they chose this property

Silver Mountain Cabins is a working homestead located in the Ottawa National Forest. Our property is a unique retreat away from the traditional city distractions. We offer wifi and smart tv in each cabin, with plenty of outdoor space to engage with nature. There are two rental cabins as well as our home on the property, and there is a shared fire pit, grill and picnic area for guests to utilize. Each cabin has a private fire pit and seating area in addition to the shared spaces. You are welcome to explore the expansive gardens, visit the chickens, or take a hike through our 22 acres of woods to forage for mushrooms or other native vegetation.

What makes this property unique

While we are a bit off the beaten path, there are many activities to participate in year-round. Winter offers some of the best snowmobiling in the country and there is direct access from our road to the UP trail system. There are also great opportunities for snowshoeing and off-trail cross country skiing. Spring is prime time for maple syruping, fishing and rock hounding. As Lake Superiors shorelines melt they leave a new crop of interesting and unique rocks for the rock lovers out there. Summer is full of opportunities for everyone, with berry picking starting early June and going through August. There are excellent hiking, kayaking and canoeing spots for day trips as well as fishing, and opportunities for more adventurous water sports on Lake Superior, a short drive away. A local favorite rock climbing spot at Silver Mountain is right down the road, with beautiful views of the entire area. Fall leads into our amazing fall color runs as well as the kickoff to our Northern Lights season, which is more prevalent in our fall through early spring months. Any time of the year, we have some of the most amazing sky views in the world (we may be biased).
