About this property

Private Log home in Hiawatha Forest near Pictured Rocks, Munising, waterfalls.!

Relax in a custom 2-bedroom, 2-bath log home in the Hiawatha National Forest, about 15 minutes from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and 10–12 minutes from Munising. Pines, hardwoods, wildflowers, and wildlife surround the house, with forest views from every window.
This is the perfect base for the lakeshore and a ideal winter setup: hundreds of miles of the UP's best snowmobile trails are accessible from the attached 2-car garage. In fall, the forest around the home is part of the color tour, not a only drive to it.
The home has a modern full kitchen, comfortable living spaces, and two bathrooms. Watch wildlife from inside, then head out for hiking, waterfalls, Pictured Rocks, or a run into town for dinner and supplies.

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. Communication was top tier and the house was amazingly clean. It had everything we needed and was perfect for relaxing family getaway. There is so much to see in the area and the location was perfectly centered for us.

About the host

Hosted by Max

Host profile image
I'm a retired Navy veteran who moved here in 2021 to enjoy the natural beauty, fresh air and wildlife. After five and a half years here full-time, it was time to pack my bags, again, for my next mission.

Why they chose this property


When I retired in 2021, I took a three-month road trip through more than 20 of my favorite states. I set out to experience the beauty and natural wonders of America in a way I never had time to for before, while also looking for my dream home, ideally a cabin in the wilderness. Long story short, as soon as I crossed the border into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, I knew this was the place for me. It’s a lesser-known natural wonder, still something of a hidden gem. I was immediately struck by the beauty and tranquility of the forests, the countless inland lakes, and the waterfalls.
