You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded Lakefront Natural Retreat Centered near attractions, Perfect Fall color

You are in the deep and wild woods of the Pure U P at the end of a 6.2 mile long trail. Wake up to the sound of Whippoorwills and other critters in this secluded log cabin tucked privately away on its own lake and centered near most all the U.P. Attractions!!

Sit on the dock all by yourself and listen to the loons or watch the bass jump for a fly with a backdrop of a blazing sunset. Stir lake water on the camp fire, take a warm shower and crawl into bed with fresh, pure cotton sheets... just Imagine...no one's going to bug you, no phone calls, no hassles.... all day long with just you by yourself or with friends and family with no Wifi unless you travel back to the highway.

You could just push the row boat or canoe into the water and try your luck at our trophy size brook trout, (hard to catch) small mouth bass (super fun to catch) or delicious perch (easy to catch).

Maybe spend a day in Grand Marais and fish the pier for lake trout or just go play on the shoreline of Lake Superior and search for Yooper Rocks, stones or agates. Don't forget to try some specialty beers and great food while you are in town and go shopping in their little tourist shops.

You could drive into Seney for a burger or you could decide to enjoy your own on the grill, inside the screened-in porch, sitting in a rocking chair, and over-looking the lake with your nose in a good book. It is your choice. It is time to drop everything and get away from it all. ATV's are welcome, we have miles and miles of trails to explore lakes and wild areas. Bring fishing, or hunting gear, target practice with your bow or not.

With fabulous sunsets around a bonfire, you can watch deer swim near and hear the night sounds under the bright starry dark sky!

The cabin is centered within easy driving distance to most U.P. tourist attractions including Pictured Rocks, many water falls, Mackinac Island, Soo Locks, Seney Wildlife Preserve, White Fish Point, the Two-Hearted River, and numerous Light-Houses, etc...

3 bedrooms, sleeps 6 comfortably. Large screened porch, sandy beach, clear spring-fed lake great for swimming. There is a row boat and canoe on site with life jackets but bring extras to assure a better fit. It is the only cabin on the lake, and for miles with nothing but trails, trails and more trails leading all over the Upper Peninsula.

The famous Seney National Wildlife Refuge (20 minutes) is a great place to spend a day hiking, canoeing, and animal watching. ATV rentals are in Seney if you are seeking adventure and exploration on all the trails surrounding the cabin. Grand Marais with it's speciality restaurants, is 30 minutes away with Lake Superior shoreline awaiting the agate rock hounds, sun-bathers, and boaters. Pictured Rocks are an hour away!

This is a vacation designation for families, honeymooners, couples, fishermen, hunters, lady retreats, or just about anyone wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life who may experience a mouse in the house. The six mile long trail to this cabin is best driven with an SUV or other 4 wheel drive but mini vans do quite fine. The drive can be confusing at night, so please plan on coming in the daytime and enjoy the wilderness scenery on your way in!

The cabin is generator ran but power is stored in a bank of batteries and only turns on when they need recharged. It feels like a normal house with electricity with all the modern appliances for your convenience.
With many returning guests, your vacation promises to be one of the U P's Best. Clean & Affordable.

Secluded and amazing.
This little cabin was fantastic, even for just a couple. Every detail was perfect. Anything one could need was right there in the cabin- making things so easy and stress free. The lake was beautiful, from sunrise to sunset. It was so nice to be truely alone, like stepping back in time. We relaxed, read books, had bonfires, star gazed, and BBQed! It was really such a perfect family place- we felt guilty leaving the kids with grandma for our anniversary trip. We will be back and will be bringing the kids in the future for sure. I made sure to download the local maps before we left because even with Verizon there was barely any service. It was easy to find- and Dale was very helpful and a great host. Thank you again Dale!!! 😊

mouse infested
Walked into the property to find mouse feces on the kitchen table, kitchen counters, sink, on the floor, including all the bedrooms. Texted the owner, no reply. Called the owner and she said there should be Clorox wipes in the house to clean it up. We chose to leave. She would not respond to texts or phone calls. It was an incredibly disappointing experience.

Family Vacation with lots of seclusion
This was a fantastic cabin to stay in and I'm glad we chose this one. Our plan was to go to a place where we would have the area to ourselves for the most part with little or no distractions and this is exactly the place for it! The cabin has everything you need to enjoy yourself, including all the amenities for cooking, as well as comfy beds and a canoe & rowboat for enjoyment in the lake. The lake is a decent size, but easy to manage in the canoe or rowboat. My wife brought her SUP and it was easy for her to navigate around the perimeter of the lake on leisurely trips several times. There are plenty of large mouth bass in the lake and they are easy to catch from the boat/canoe, or even right off the dock in the evening. We had several days of fishing success. We only saw 1 other boat use the lake the evening of our arrival (Sunday) and the following Saturday evening & Sunday morning. There is a public boat lunch on the lake to the south of the cabin, but it is hardly used. The access road into the cabin may seem daunting, but it's not difficult to navigate. I was pulling a 5x8 trailer and had no issues. We only saw a few people on the road during our few times in and out. Take your time and enjoy the scenery. You can stay and not leave until you departure if you wish, as there are plenty of trails to hike and a lake right at the end of the dock. I would definitely return to this cabin in the future and highly recommend it.

Great Vacation
Realy loved the cabin and access to the lake. We all had a great time boating and hiking and this was an ideal location for all of our daytime adventures. Thanks Dale and Mike. We had a very memorable vacation in the UP.

Perfect Stay
We had a great time at the cabin. The owners called me back immediately when I had a question a few days before my arrival. There is a lot of refrigerator space. The kitchen is very well equipped. I like the screened porch for when it’s buggy. We caught lots of fish. Everything in the cabin was in good working order. Lots of people like to talk about the road into the cabin, but it is in fairly good shape. Just drive slowly and enjoy the nature. We would definitely stay here again. 5+ rating😁

Relaxing
Our trip was very tranquil and relaxing . There were many tour attractions near the cabin that we went to and saw. The cabin is a ways from the main road but we liked it that way only seeing a handful of people on the lake the whole week. We had fun fishing and caught some bass that we let go so the next guest could enjoy to catch. Dale and Mike were very friendly and helpful they guided us on places to see and answered any questions we had.

Great time in the UP. Second time staying at the cabin. Went on many adventures on our RZR side by side. Great fishing got a couple bass. Probably the most quiet place I've ever been. Spotted quite a few deer on the road to the property. Fall colors were amazing. Great location to go to nearby towns during the week we stayed.

Nice and isolated, but on Saturday Lake was full of people and some drove onto the property as it maybe needs more/better signage.

Off the Grid
This cabin was awesome. Exactly as listed. If you're looking for a beautiful, private setting right on a lake, off the grid, this is the place. Deep, deep in the woods, but with all the amenities of home. Fishing, blueberry picking, wildlife abound. This place is beautiful. The property owners were very nice and responsive. Easy check in, no issues. This place would be gorgeous in the fall.
