About this property

North Country Cabin - Secluded cabin on 20 acres

Welcome to the North Country Cabin!

*Must have 4x4 vehicle in winter months. Road is rural. It is maintained but can be rough at times*

Located in the middle of the Manistee National Forest, an outdoor paradise awaits you. The cabin is located on a beautiful private 20 acres surrounded by the National Forest. The North Country National Scenic trail runs along the property along with miles and miles of SxS and snowmobile trails. The cabin is the perfect getaway into the northern Michigan woods.

The space
A truly Northern Michigan feel located on a private road and surrounded by the Manistee National Forest on three sides. The cabin boasts two large decks for viewing the surrounding forest. The cabin is cozy and offers all the amenities needed for a week in the woods. Enjoy a fire indoors or a bonfire under the stars and lights.

The town of Irons is a short 15 minute drive away or you can easily drive to Lake Michigan and the town of Ludington. There are also many rivers and lakes located around the cabin for countless hours of outdoor adventure.

Guest access
The road that the cabin is on is a private road. Please be respectful of the few homes in the area. SxS, UTVs, or Snowmobiles may be ridden on all roads within the area all the way to the town of Irons or Dublin.

*Please note that the private road to the cabin is a dirt road that is well maintained but very rural.

Other things to note
Cell phone coverage is very limited within the area. Texts will go through depending on service provider. Some calls may be made in areas around the house.

The Cabin does NOT have a washer and dryer. A clothes line is in place to dry clothes if they are hand washed. There is a laundromat located in Irons.


Since the cabin is so remote, WiFi and internet are provided by StarLink internet. StarLink is provided by SpacEx and is in its initial testing. StarLink is a satelleite internet and may have very brief periods of outtage but has been extremely reliable.

Beautiful Cabin
This is a gorgeous cabin which is very private. It has all of the necessary kitchen and bathroom stuff. The kitchen is nice and large. We really enjoyed our raft trip on the Pine River and none of us got wet!

Great Getaway
We had such a great stay at the North Country Cabin! The secluded location was so relaxing, and the numerous hiking trails were so much fun. The house itself was very nice and fairly clean. The kitchen is large and has pretty much all necessary amenities. The listing is accurate in saying you will need a FWD vehicle to get to the cabin. It rained during our stay and even in our truck it was a little sketchy getting out. The cell service is also non-existent, but the wifi worked just fine (besides during the storm). The only thing was that the wifi password was written down incorrectly in the house. Thankfully Kiefer was quick to get back to us with the correct wifi password. If I could make a suggestion- it would be nice if there was some kind of written packet of sorts that listed out details of the house (like the wifi password, etc) and also the cleaning responsibilities required before checkout (with the storm knocking the wifi out we wernt able to access the VRBO message detailing the checkout requirements until only 25 minutes beforehand). All in all, it was an amazing stay and we can’t wait to come back again in the future!

Cute little cabin
Super relaxing & a great place to have your pup. Beautiful scenery all around with no disturbances. Stocked with dishes & everything you would need to cook meals. Highly recommend this cabin if you’re looking for a place to unwind in the middle of no where.
