About this property

With current uncertainty of future Stay Home Stay Safe orders we are asking all guests to either purchase the travel insurance or be prepared to reschedule their stay if they must cancel due to COVID. Our zero refund cancelation policy will continue as stated in our rental agreement.

If a guest is diagnosed with or notified that they are a direct contact to COVID and your stay is scheduled within the quarantine period we ask that you notify us immediately to change your dates. NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN.

Come experience “up north” in all of its rugged glory. Nestled among trails in the Hiawatha region of Munising, MI (next to Haywire Trail #8), The Log Cabin Retreat is also situated in very close proximity to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

This is the PERFECT location with quick access to everything the area has to offer. Enjoy snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice climbing and ice fishing in the winter; hiking, ATVing, mountain biking, swimming, beaching, fishing and kayaking/canoeing in the summer. There is plenty to do in the area and the Log Cabin Crew is ALWAYS happy to help you out!

The Log Cabin Retreat is surrounded by 20 acres of private, wooded property. Luxuriate in solitude or enjoy Munising – your choice! The conveniences of town are just a short (10 minute) drive away. The famous Bear Trap Inn (restaurant and bar) is just 1/4 of a mile down the road: Our guests have always loved this place. Kewadin Casino in Christmas, MI is about a 20 minutes’ drive.

The cabin is quaint enough for one family, yet accommodating enough to comfortably host larger parties of up to 16. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the basement and main floor levels, plus a loft.

Park your snowmobile trailers and trucks in the large driveway – there's tons of space to pull in and pull out (no need to back up). Stoke up the fire and relax. Imbibe at the bar. Take in forest and wildlife views from the comfort of the deck. Cook up a feast on the gas grill. Roast marshmallows and enjoy each other's company around the fire.

The cabin is yours to enjoy during your stay. There’s plenty of room here to do what you like. Make memories; do things your way. The kitchen is fully stocked. The living room is plush. The basement is fully furnished; laid-back. All bedding, bath towels and toiletries are included.

Most of our guests are repeat guests… Come and find out why!

Great Location and Wonderful Stay

Great location to visit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and other UP attractions. Family of 12 enjoyed our stay with plenty of room for all (easily could have fit more people comfortably). Check in process and access to assistance went smoothly. Thanks for having us!

Labor Day weekend 2023

ABSOLUTELY loved this house. I wish I could put into words how great it was! The cabin manager / owners were so accommodating to us checking in early, and doing a late check out! We were super close to pictured rocks, which was great for us to go jump into Lake Superior and clean ourselves off before going back in the house, we were close to all the trails to ride our can am / razors, there’s a cute bar called “bear trap inn” that had great food and we had 4 truck & trailers and there was more then enough room to fit us. The greeters (the neighbors) were super friendly and very helpful, if needed. The most exciting part was seeing the baby cub as we were pulling out of the driveway to head home! I will definitely be renting this property again if we decide to stay in that area again! :)

Clean but a bit disappointing

The cabin was very clean however the dishwasher was broken, the beds were very creaky and extremely uncomfortable. There was board on the deck they nailed down to over a hole which created several of us to trip and stub a toe often. Also, the picture of the loft is extremely deceiving. Adults have to crawl on their knees because the ceiling is so low.

Awesome group property

We stayed with our extended family (just two families, but 16 people) and there was more than enough room and an awesome layout for multiple families. The kitchen was well stocked and we had all the amenities we needed after long days on the trails. Can’t wait to come back!

Getaway Cabin Review - Expectations

Came to UP to celebrate my bachelor party with friends and myself. Area was good and cleanliness was exceptional at cabin. Usually stay at a hotel when I visit Munising, so I was pleased with first stay at cabin in area. I’d recommend this to friends or return in the future. However, there were a few downsides that I would like seen fixed in future. List is: fireplace inside didn’t work. The fireplace controls were hanging off the wall by one wire and tried speaking to rental owner and couldn’t fix it over phone. Next, the ping pong table included with amenities was damaged. Entire tabletop was completely loose and falling apart. Third, the sink drain at bar counter wouldn’t drain. Again, majority are small things and not all will use, but it is expected when I rent and it is included with stay. My biggest complaint was upon arrival, they had a guy come out 1 hour after our check in time (4 pm) and was spraying chemical pesticide all over the cabin, all around was soaked with this chemical. Even neighbor said stay away for at least a hour, meaning come back around 6pm as it is nasty stuff. I expect upon arrival from my long drive to be able to check in right when I get there, please adjust your scheduling with pesticide worker.

Great Experience

Loved the cabin! Very spacious for all my friends. Even though it was May, we drove into snow, thankfully there were shovels outside to help shovel all the snow off the porch. It seemed like no one stayed there for awhile with all the snow. We didnt let that stop us. We still got to enjoy waterfalls, trails, and sceneries.

Great snowmobiling getaway

Loved this place. Perfect for our group of 7 guys on annual sledding trip. Could have been 10, plenty of beds. Only small issue was tv service. Put the big one upstairs!!! And get a service that works better. Premium channels not watchable, and superbowl was on fox - which wasn’t an hd channel

About the host

Hosted by Dave Keyte

Dave Keyte, originally from Portage, MI owns this beautiful cabin. The UP has always been a special place for him and his wife Steph to unwind and connect with nature. They currently hail from the Pacific Northwest.

Why they chose this property

The Log Cabin Retreat is the largest log home in the area. It's nestled among the trees on 20 acres of private land near the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

Located in the middle of the snowmobile and ATV trails. Far enough from town to be secluded, yet close enough to get supplies when needed.
