The place was great! I do agree with the comment that pictures don’t do it justice. Super cute and everything was labeled and well thought out. The breakfast down the road at the bear trap inn was good too. Will stay again if the opportunity arises.

The place was very cute and very welcoming. I loved how they had things labeled everywhere so you knew where things were or what to do the pictures on the website. Don’t do it justice. It’s much cuter in person. We really enjoyed it. We were only there two days, but if we were to ever come back up that way, we would definitely stay there again And I’m gonna be telling my kids about it so that when they go up to go snowmobiling, hopefully they can stay there.

About the host

Hosted by Megan

Host profile image
I’m a host who truly loves the Upper Peninsula, its quiet forests, and the peaceful reset it gives people. I take pride in creating a clean, comfortable, welcoming space where guests can relax, explore, and feel taken care of. I respond quickly, communicate clearly, and I’m here to make your stay easy — whether you need hiking tips, help with anything at the cabin, or a recommendation only locals know about.

I want you to feel at home, cared for, and supported throughout your stay.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this area because it offers the best of both worlds — total peace and privacy in the woods, but still just minutes from Munising, waterfalls, beaches, and Pictured Rocks. It’s the kind of place where mornings are quiet, nights are filled with stars, and you can step outside and immediately feel grounded. I wanted a space where guests could slow down, recharge, and experience the beauty of the Upper Peninsula the way locals do.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique:
The cabin combines a private wooded location with quick access to Munising, Pictured Rocks, and several major attractions. It’s quiet, comfortable, family-friendly, and provides everything guests need for a relaxing, hassle-free stay. The space is well maintained, stocked with essentials, and designed to be a reliable home base for year-round U.P. adventures.
