Welcome to 'The Log Cab-Inn' - Where Great Memories Are Made

We are a destination spot for snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing, four-wheeling, hiking, biking, and year-round vacations. This evergreen retreat is a new (2007) handcrafted log cabin, with three floors and three wrap around outside decks. There's a large mud room with in floor heat to dry out all your outdoor gear. The Cabin is located on 15 acres, with plenty of parking room. It backs up to an all purpose trail (North Freda, Trail #121-ATV/snowmobile trail.)

Were only 5 miles outside of Houghton MI, off of a blacktop road, but this is where the blacktop ends. There are only woods & rivers for eight miles until you reach Lake Superior. This setting will let you enjoy the outdoors right out of your door.

Very nice place to stay. Far enough away from town to be peaceful. Yet I only a few minutes from town. Nice to be able to let the dog out and not be on a leash. Would highly recommend.

A perfect place to spend a quality vacation! Remote enough to enjoy outdoors time while close enough to town to have access to shopping and dining options. We were able to go on great hikes in the area during the day and relax in comfort at this cozy cabin at night. Definitely a great stay :)

We loved our stay in the woods! The location was perfect to explore the Keweenaw Peninsula, and the cabin was private and cozy to come back home to. The cabin decor was fun and unique, it had lots of charm and characteristics, and everything you could need for a comfortable stay.

Glad to hear you enjoyed our area and our cozy Cabinn. The Cabinn was a 5-year project with our family. Started out looking at many log home magazines and taking many ideas and crunching them to size to fit into a cabin.All the red pine logs come from our property.

Property was amazing. Quiet and very serene. We brought our dog and the property was very pet friendly. Lots of area to walk around with pets and tucked back from road. House is well appointed with kitchen supplies for cooking at home and having laundry was fantastic as we did lots of hiking and outdoor activities. Host communication was great. Loved the blankets and slept amazing during our stay. Enjoyed the deck on three sides of the house even in the winter.

About the host

Why they chose this property

This was a family project building this Log Cabin, which may someday be our retirement home. It all started with the farmer living on this land 45 years ago planning 8 acres of red pine. Those high standing red pine (44 out of 800)are now laying sideways making up the walls of the Log Cab-Inn.
