About this property

Quiet year round lake home, swimming/fishing, near Pictured Rocks, trail access

Our home away from home is a spacious, 1700 square foot, fully furnished get away in the beautiful upper peninsula of Michigan. We are located on scenic H-58 roughly halfway between Munising and Grand Marais, and are just minutes from the Pictured Rocks National lake shore where you will find numerous hiking trails, waterfalls, and Lake Superior beaches to explore. Additionally, we are less than a mile from a network of trail systems that allow you to go in all 4 directions. Whether you're a snowmobiler, or ride side by sides/ATV's, you have endless options for exploration right from home base, with plenty of parking available for large trailers.

If you want a break from the sight seeing, enjoy an afternoon or evening sitting lakeside at the house. We offer over 300 feet of frontage along the north side of Nevins Lake, that includes a sandy beach area/fishing dock. This 276-acre lake has no public access, allowing for a quiet and peaceful experience. It's not uncommon for a whole summer day to pass without seeing any motorized watercraft, which creates opportunities to observe wildlife such as loons, eagles, and beavers in their natural environment. Nevins Lake is great for fishing/swimming, or paddling/exploring, and provides a wonderful opportunity to escape and unwind. While there's no public access, small boats on trailers can be backed down to the water and launched from our beach area (A vehicle with 4-wheel drive is recommended). We provide 4 Kayaks, a canoe, a paddle boat, and a row boat that are included with your rental as well.
In the evening, unwind around a bon-fire (firewood included!). Roast brats or smores while listening to the beautiful calls of loons ushering in a night sky that only the remote UP can offer.

The cabin itself has all the amenities that allow for a comfortable/contemporary stay in a remote location. Ideal for couples, families, or groups of friends, it comfortably sleeps 4-6 adults. The house includes a fully stocked kitchen with all the items you’ll need to prepare and serve a home cooked meal. There is reliable high speed internet, as well as Satellite TV.

A short 25-minute drive West from Nevins Lake will bring you to the amazing town of Munising; the same distance in the opposite direction will bring you to Grand Marais. Nestled between these 2 towns along H-58 are dozens of points of interest, including Lake Superior beaches, hiking trails, and waterfalls.

Here are a few resources to help plan your itinerary-
- 17 amazing waterfalls- https://www.munising.org/attractions/waterfalls/
- Pictured rocks hiking trails- https://www.munising.org/recreation/hiking/
- Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore- https://www.munising.org/pictured-rocks/
- Lake Superior beaches- https://www.munising.org/recreation/beaches/

Every season has countless unique and exciting experiences to be had.
Summertime is a given, and there are plenty of reasons why. However, the best kept secrets are in the "off months" when the crowds dissipate. Many consider September/October to be the best months to visit the UP. Fall colors are unrivaled in the Hiawatha national forest areas, and paint the landscape on the elevated shores of Nevins Lake.

We look forward to being your host and helping to make your UP experience great no matter the season!

*****IMPORTANT NOTE**** Due to the remote location, trash service is not provided and guests are asked to take their trash with them. Many renters choose to dispose smaller amounts on their day trips throughout the stay. Otherwise, there are 2 good options while heading home as well. Going West towards Munising, there is Wood Island Waste Management that accepts bagged trash. If you are heading East, Seney has a gas Station/convenience store called Maters Stop & Go. They charge a couple dollars a bag to dispose in their dumpster. We apologize in advance for this inconvenience, and appreciate your understanding.

Had a great stay at this lake home. Very close to all the Pictured Rocks sites to see. Lots of things to do at the property itself, kids loved kayaking, swimming and fishing off the pier. Also very nice sunrises from the edge of lake.The family has already asked to go back next summer! Would highly recommend for a peaceful, secluded lakeside vacation rental.

Such a perfect spot. We took advantage of warm fall weather to kayak, and enjoyed sitting on the dock especially at sunrise. Watched a Bald Eagle feed along the shore. The house is roomy, casual, well loved and welcoming. Nicely stocked kichen and lovely views of the lake. Our dog loved the private yard, and lake too. Incredibly quiet and peaceful and well situated between the two ends of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on a road ablazz with Fall color. Communication was great, check in and out a breeze. Would definitely come again. Summer must be a blast.

Visit to Pictured rocks area

The property is beautiful and peaceful. After a day of hiking and sightseeing it was very nice to come back to such a serene property. My husband, I and our labrador enjoyed the lake, the privacy and all the extra attention to items that were available for our enjoyment ( outdoor fire pit, kayaks, paddle boat, indoor games, well stocked home)

Wonderful property and hosts. We stayed 7 days and enjoyed the lakefront, Pictured Rocks, Munising, and Grand Marais. Great communication with the hosts and plenty to do on the lake. The hosts made sure we had driving directions and arrived safely. The cottage has wonderful views of Nevins Lake and had all the amenities we needed for cooking, relaxing, playing and evening campfires. We hope to come back!

Great hosts, great vintage cabin

If you've found this place you're likely lost, which is hopefully right where you wanted to be. Nevins lake is a tranquil paradise on the edge of the Pictured Rocks park. Hosts were great, and communication was superb. Parking is well thought-out, and check-in and check-out were very straight-forward. Will be renting again for sure.
