About this property

Cozy, super-clean cabin minutes from Lake Superior & the Porkies!

CJ's "cabin" is located in the old mining town of White Pine. About 5 miles from the lake, it's the perfect base camp to explore the UP, hike the Porcupine Mountains, hunt agates on the beach or just relax. Most of the homes in White Pine were built as identical "company houses", but CJ's has been remodeled with raised ceilings and wood paneling for the rustic, cozy feel of a cabin retreat. The master sleeps two on a queen Tempur-Pedic memory foam mattress. The small bedroom sleeps one and the foldout sofa in the living room sleeps two kids or one adult.

CJ's is just minutes from the Konteka Black Bear Lounge and snowmobile trails, and a short drive will take you on beautiful adventures exploring the Porcupine Mountains or to the beach. Please note: The property IS NOT on Lake Superior. White Pine is about a 5 minute drive from the lake.

If you want to stream and chill or game after exploring the area, we have 500 Mbps Internet with Roku and Sling, so just be sure to bring your login/password info for whatever apps you use.

Our mission is to provide you with the cleanest, coziest place to relax - a place that feels more like a home away from home than a rental. We have both a Keurig coffee machine and a drip pot. K-cups are provided. There is a new grill and propane is provided. Both the refrigerator and shower water are filtered and you don't have to worry about bringing your own shampoo or bath products; all the bedding and towels are new and we pride ourselves on fast communication to help you with whatever you need.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: For those who have stayed with us before or those of you reading the reviews, the PRIVATE BEACH will be available for the rest of this summer and fall (2025). IT WILL NOT be available in 2026.

CJ’s house was immaculate! Obviously well taken care of; homey with lots of personal touches; good info/suggestions of things to do and see. Couldn’t wait to “get home” after a day out enjoying the area. We would definitely recommend it to family & friends. Thanks CJ!

We had a wonderful vacation here! The location was perfect for all the activities we wanted to do, and having a fully stocked kitchen with all the necessary appliances and utensils made it so convenient. We especially enjoyed grilling outside and watching the family of deer in the backyard—it was such a special touch. The kids loved winding down with family board games after full days of outdoor adventures. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It was truly a great experience!

Wonderful Stay in the UP

The cabin was very well decorated and very well stocked. We appreciated the fact that everything we needed was there for us - snacks, coffee, toiletries, towels, and bedding. The cabin was very comfortable and cozy. It was close to the Porcupine Mountains and just a couple of hours away from Copper Harbor.

Great little place!

We made a last minute decision to get out of the 95 degree temps in Indy and booked this place last minute. What a find! It’s the cleanest vacation rental we’ve ever stayed! Bed is super comfy and plenty of water pressure. Overall the perfect little cabin for a get away. Kitchen has literally everything you’d need (not a lot of choices for eating out close so we cooked a lot) and the temps up there in June are perfect. The pic is from the private beach that’s included.

Great cabin located close to Porcupine Mountains!

We had a great stay at the cabin. It has been updated recently, was super clean and is probably one of the most well appointed VRBO properties I’ve stayed in. Everything you might need was provided as well as great tips for dining and local activities. Communication with the owner was fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful space to come back home to.

CJ’s cabin is a treasure. Located in an older section of a small town, it is a surprise and a delight. Cozy, comfy, fully stocked home away from home-but cleaner! The host is hands down the best vrbo host I’ve ever experienced. Outstanding communication, friendly, does everything he can to make your stay perfect.

Best place to go see the Porkies!

CJ has the best place! Cozy, so clean, and close to everything. He gave us lots of suggestions, and they were all great. The private beach to go to was just so beautiful and perfect! He thought of everything you could possibly need at the cabin! I really appreciated the coffee, snacks, hot shower and Netflix after the cold rain. We loved our visit. It was a great introduction to Michigan for me.

About the host

Hosted by CJ Skoviak

Host profile image
As a native of of White Pine, I'm excited to open up our home which is just a few miles away from Lake Superior and the Porcupine Mountains. From agate hunting to skiing the Porkies, jumping off the Bonanza (Greenwoods to the locals) waterfalls to snowmobiling, I've had many adventures in the U.P. I'll never forget... and hope you do the same!

Why they chose this property

Part of the charm of White Pine is the "cookie cutter" suburban layout of matching homes. This company house, however, has been completely remodeled inside with raised, wooden ceilings for a more individual, rustic feel, and all the beds have brand new sheets, blankets, comforters and pillows. No musty bedding or towels! The driveway will be cleared for snowmobile trailers and trucks in the winter.

What makes this property unique

We pride ourselves on being super-clean!
Brand-new bedding.
New bath towels.
Heat, AC, ceiling fans.
Keurig Coffee, Tea.
All the amenities you will need.
