Adventures in the Northwoods

Our cottage is a base camp from which you can enjoy the beauty of the northwoods in Upper Peninsula Michigan. Plan your summer get-away fishing, kayaking, canoeing, or ATVing. Venture out to view the numerous waterfalls, hike the Ottawa National Forest or Sylvania Wilderness, drive through the Keweenaw peninsula or tour Pictured Rocks. Autumn is the time to take fall color tours: Black River and the Porcupine Mountain as well as hunting. In the winter, snowmobile, ice fish, downhill or cross-country ski, snowshoe and hike. The UP and all its wonders are awaiting you.

Beautiful and comfortable woodland cabin

We had a fantastic stay in this cozy cabin. Location is perfect and we were able to ski every day at Brule, have dinner in Land o lakes, swim at the Gateway, and hike to amazing waterfalls. The owners are so kind and flexible. The house had everything our family needed for a great trip at a very affordable price. We look forward to staying here again.

Great little cabin in the woods.

Was going for a week of kayak fishing with a pal of mine and found this little place stay. It’s a great location being just 5 min from town just in case ya forgot something. The place was quiet, privite, clean and comfortable, everything you need when looking for comfort. I will be looking forward to coming here again.
