With current uncertainty of future Stay Home Stay Safe orders we are asking all guests to either purchase the travel insurance or be prepared to reschedule their stay if they must cancel due to COVID. Our zero refund cancelation policy will continue as stated in our rental agreement.

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.

Most of our guests are repeat guests… Come and find out why!

Awesome group property
We stayed with our extended family (just two families, but 16 people) and there was more than enough room and an awesome layout for multiple families. The kitchen was well stocked and we had all the amenities we needed after long days on the trails. Can’t wait to come back!

Great Experience/Quality Vacation Spot
This place met all of our needs and then some. Place flows really well with a larger group. Beds were super comfortable and bathrooms were oversized and clean! Great location for trails to go multiple directions if you are riding. My family and I will be going back.

Great Experience
Loved the cabin! Very spacious for all my friends. Even though it was May, we drove into snow, thankfully there were shovels outside to help shovel all the snow off the porch. It seemed like no one stayed there for awhile with all the snow. We didnt let that stop us. We still got to enjoy waterfalls, trails, and sceneries.

Great snowmobiling getaway
Loved this place. Perfect for our group of 7 guys on annual sledding trip. Could have been 10, plenty of beds. Only small issue was tv service. Put the big one upstairs!!! And get a service that works better. Premium channels not watchable, and superbowl was on fox - which wasn’t an hd channel

Labor Day weekend 2023
ABSOLUTELY loved this house. I wish I could put into words how great it was! The cabin manager / owners were so accommodating to us checking in early, and doing a late check out! We were super close to pictured rocks, which was great for us to go jump into Lake Superior and clean ourselves off before going back in the house, we were close to all the trails to ride our can am / razors, there’s a cute bar called “bear trap inn” that had great food and we had 4 truck & trailers and there was more then enough room to fit us. The greeters (the neighbors) were super friendly and very helpful, if needed. The most exciting part was seeing the baby cub as we were pulling out of the driveway to head home! I will definitely be renting this property again if we decide to stay in that area again! :)

Clean but a bit disappointing
The cabin was very clean however the dishwasher was broken, the beds were very creaky and extremely uncomfortable. There was board on the deck they nailed down to over a hole which created several of us to trip and stub a toe often. Also, the picture of the loft is extremely deceiving. Adults have to crawl on their knees because the ceiling is so low.

Getaway Cabin Review - Expectations
Came to UP to celebrate my bachelor party with friends and myself. Area was good and cleanliness was exceptional at cabin. Usually stay at a hotel when I visit Munising, so I was pleased with first stay at cabin in area. I’d recommend this to friends or return in the future. However, there were a few downsides that I would like seen fixed in future. List is: fireplace inside didn’t work. The fireplace controls were hanging off the wall by one wire and tried speaking to rental owner and couldn’t fix it over phone. Next, the ping pong table included with amenities was damaged. Entire tabletop was completely loose and falling apart. Third, the sink drain at bar counter wouldn’t drain. Again, majority are small things and not all will use, but it is expected when I rent and it is included with stay. My biggest complaint was upon arrival, they had a guy come out 1 hour after our check in time (4 pm) and was spraying chemical pesticide all over the cabin, all around was soaked with this chemical. Even neighbor said stay away for at least a hour, meaning come back around 6pm as it is nasty stuff. I expect upon arrival from my long drive to be able to check in right when I get there, please adjust your scheduling with pesticide worker.

Great home-base for 3 active families
We were a group of 3 families - 13 people in all - including 5 teenagers and 2 kids. This cabin is secluded yet close to loads of stunning natural features of the Pictured Rock area. We loved the fire pit, the bar, the living/dining area, and deck. The ping pong table was a hit, and more than one person picked a few tunes on the guitar. Nice sound system with Bluetooth access. The cabin felt roomier than we expected and was perfect for our group. The decor and cleanliness were top-notch. The two bathrooms worked well for a group our size as long as we staggered. The loft of four beds was perfect for the four teenage boys. The cabin was quiet and private, adding to the fun of our 4-night stay. The cabin could use a new coffeemaker. Some of the basement rooms felt a little “basement-y” and would benefit from bedside lamps or nightlights. The cabin instructions say that SOME toilet paper and garbage bags will be provided, and beyond that the party is responsible. It seems like the group size and length of stay should be taken into consideration; we ended up picking up extra T.P., used grocery bags as back-up garbage bags, and just about ran short of dish-washing detergent. We would have rated the cabin 5 out of 5 if the consumables has not been a concern. The cabin came with very clear instructions for almost everything! In addition to garbage instructions, it would also be helpful to have instructions for recycling.
