About this property

Entire place

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

The Perfect Adventure Nest!

Your map app will direct you to the Melstrand Union General Store, when you arrive at the store there is a wooden fence on the east side of the building. At the end of the fence there is a driveway leading back towards the woods, just before the dumpster at the end you will see a brown cabin to your left. There is a single door on the north side of the building, that is the entrance. Please reach out to Ariana if you are having difficulty locating the cabin.

This cabin is brand new with everything you'll need after a long day of hiking, fishing, riding the trails, or exploring the beautiful Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore. It is walking distance from the Melstrand Union General Store where you can not only find gas but also snacks, hand scooped ice cream, baked goods (made fresh daily), sandwiches, and so much more!

We look forward to being a part of your UP experience!

Great location for snowmobiling trip

This property is exactly what we were looking for for our UP snowmobile trip. A store with ethanol free gas was on site at this property. Cabin was clean and beds were comfortable. Trail access was literally across the road. Grand Marais, Seney and Paradise trails were excellent and easy to access from this property. Will book here again for next trip.

Great spot in the UP to stay

This is a simple little cabin in the UP with a good location to Pictured Rocks area. We found it basic and reasonably priced for a couple of nights for us to enjoy the area. We appreciated the short stay opportunity and great communication with the owner/renter.

Great Get-Away

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights on our honeymoon. We wanted a place near Pictured Rocks as we planned to go kayaking. The cabin was in between the two ends of the park and gave convenient access to everything in between.

Awesome price

We checked prices on many locations and this one was larger than a hotel room, big shower and bathroom, nice kitchen area for like half the price of places just 15 min away in Munising. Highly recommend.

Nice place to stay

Had everything we needed. Close to where we were hiking and about 15 mins from a small town. Its nice that there is a general store right next to it. People sell firewood all along that road. Surprised how long the hot water lasted. We had to shower 4 people in a row

Clean, simple space to escape the mosquitoes!

Nice little place. The mosquitoes were thick at the time of year we went and this was a good, affordable substitute to camping.

Quick Getaway

We booked last minute and just needed a place to sleep. We had plenty of space for the 4 of us, the cooler and even counter space for the crockpot. The beds/pillows were just okay. We would definitely book here again.

Was disappointed there was no picnic table outside as advertised in photos. Beds were very uncomfortable. Shower didn’t drain well. Suited our needs for the price.

Rock hounders

We enjoyed our stay. We were only there in the evenings we had campfire each night and at one one night the manager called to let us know that the northern lights were hitting and we jumped in the car, went about a mile away, and got fabulous pictures of the northern lights overall it was perfect. It was right in the middle of where we wanted to go. Rock hounding, and waterfall chasing. We would do it again.

Babymoon!

We went here for our last trip as a couple before we have our first baby! It was VERY DIRTY. We dusted the entire place, swept, and killed multiple insects (including a brown recluse) when we first entered the place. There were so many dust balls and cobwebs. It looked like the place hadn't been cleaned in years. Other than that, it was the PERFECT stay! We loved how close we were to the hiking trails of Pictured Rocks. Overall, we had an amazing time and a beautiful trip!!

Great retreat off the beaten path

What a perfect retreat down the road from Miners Falls, right next door to a charming general store, and sounds of chickens/roosters outside the open window. We loved it. WiFi, TV, table and kitchenette were perfect for our needs. Beds were high (great for rolling suitcases under) and very comfortable, plenty of hooks on the walls for hanging our adventure gear and towels. I always bring a small fan with me in travels for the noise and airflow, though there is a great ceiling fan above one bed. Bathroom is large and water is good (plenty for hot showers and no well water smells or anything). The shop next door is open around 10am-6pm daily. It was fairly secluded and very quiet aside from a few trucks driving by (and some farm animal sounds which we greatly enjoyed- only noticeable with the windows open). There were two mugs in the cabinet, you may wish to pack additional microwaveable dishes depending on your needs. We saw chickens/roosters, turkeys, and fancy white geese down the lane next door - they kept to their own space.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
decent quarters, but nothing special. so, if just looking for a bed to sleep in, this is it. its basically a one room utility shed with a bathroom. very small and remote. there are geese and chickens at nieghboring property, which get very annoying. NO TV NO A/C Almost no hot water. Shower doesn't drain very well, so you stand in a pool of water while showering, but with the lack of warm water, you wont shower very long anyway. yard is sand, with very small entry apron, so sand will track in, and remember you are required to clean before you leave.
