Near Munising.and and Snowmobile trails


This historic log cottage on the banks of Lake Superior was originally built in the first part of the 1900’s as one of the early fishing camps of Shelter Bay. Over the years there have been numerous modern improvements, but much of the rustic charm, such as the large stone fireplace and the low ceilings and exposed rafters of the second story, remain…and the character does too. The shoreline is stones and boulders which make for lots of action and adds to the aesthetics that come from the sound of lapping waves. The site is wooded, peaceful, and private. This classic, up-north cabin has a main level with an eat-in kitchen, a spacious living room with the fireplace, an additional dining area, a ¾ bath with a low-threshold shower, and The Lake Room with two full sized futons, offering an amazing view of Lake Superior and Au Train Island. There are literally windows and views everywhere! Upstairs, facing the lake, there are two quaint bedrooms with queen sized beds and, toward the rear, an additional sleeping area with two single beds. If you’re keeping track, the place sleeps up to 10 people. Shelter Bay is conveniently located less than 30 minutes from Marquette or Munising. The cottage is situated close to the snowmobile trails and the circular drive allows for parking the truck and trailer combo for hauling your machines. Park and ride right from the cabin. High speed internet and Wi-Fi is available! This is your opportunity to experience part of history in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Arrangements for pets are available.

What’s nearby? Deer Lake is an all sports lake, has a public boat ramp and is just down the road. The Brownstone Inn is a great place to eat and is 3 miles away. The public boat ramp to Lake Superior is less than 3 miles from the cottage. Au Train is only 7 miles away and offers food, party supplies, gas, and canoeing on the Au Train River. Au Train Lake is another all sports lake in the area with a public launch site. Grand Island National Recreation Area and Pictured Rocks are close-by.

If you’re looking a traditional rural cabin with modern updates, this place is perfect. You cannot beat the location – it is a few feet away from the lake and it is a short drive to either Munising or Marquette. The kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of firewood for us to use, and every room had an additional space heater, in case we were cold. The cabin gave us the cozy feel of comfort and protection on a cold winter night. Will definitely stay again if next time in the UP brings us into this area.

Great place! So warm and cozy...and those views! Like the other reviews said the upstairs is hard to manuever but it was worth it to wake up to that view. It adds to the charm. Lovely property and location. Clean and welcoming. We didn't need contact with the hosts during the stay but they were great to deal with while booking. Will definitely go back!

Relaxing

House was clean. Kitchen well setup with pans plates etc…. stairs to get to bedrooms were too tight to deal with so we slept on futons on main floor. No big deal worked great. Slept literally right next to Lake Superior.

Fantastic host!!

We came to the area to ride snowmobiles. The host was very accommodating for us and even gave us tips on how to get to the trails. We had a few mechanical issues but the host was very friendly with checking in to make sure we were enjoying our stay and gave us suggestions on where to find parts for our machines to get us back on the trails. The property was just as described. We had a real wood fire at night (bonus points for a real wood fireplace!) and we could hear the waves of Lake Superior crashing on the shores while we slept. 10/10 would recommend!!

Beautiful Rustic Cabin

We decided to take a UP fall color tour and bring our two dogs. This place was perfect. We loved being right on Lake Superior and the 4 season room right on the Lake was so awesome. We had coffee in the morning and wine at night.We also loved the bedrooms that overlooked the Big Lake. Our one dog got us up early and we saw the Northern LIghts for the first time.It was also a great location as was not on a busy road and could walk the dogs every morning along the Lake. We loved it so much that we are now looking for property on Lake Superior.Very convenient location between Marquette and Munising. It would be awesome in winter months too for the snowmobiles.

Beautiful Unique Cabin with Gorgeous Views!

We enjoyed our fall getaway at this cabin! Beautiful views of Lake Superior from all over the property. Location was perfect - we explored Marquette, Pictured Rocks, and went on a few good hikes. The cabin is rustic but appointed well, cozy, and very clean. Bonus: we had big waves and were able to see the northern lights during our stay!

The epitome of a yooper camp. Waves incredible!

Loved this camp! Rustic yet very clean. My husband was occupied with the fire most of the time, by choice. I use a walker, so couldn't get to the bedrooms upstairs, but we slept on one of the futons in the lake room, and slept to the sound of the waves. Incredible. And the view phenomenal. If you're looking for a cozy camp, this is your place.

The best views of Lake Superior

The cabin is definitely old, but it was very clean. It has all the modern amenities that you would need. The furnace cranked warm air, the fireplace was great to use and the hot water was hot, be aware that it is well water if your not use to it you may not like it. We brought our Clearly Filtered water pitcher with us and it still smelled like well water so bring plenty of bottled water with you. The floors are not flat and are very very creaky. The staircase upstairs is very tight, low ceiling and steep. I'm only 5 foot so I didn't have an issue ducking under the roof to get the other side of the upstairs, my husband bumped his head a few times. We didn't get in until late and the cabin was hard to find in the dark. The sunrise in the morning was beautiful on the lake. Kitchen is stocked with everything you would need. We visited all of the waterfalls, Miners Falls was my favorite waterfall and trail to walk, Miners Castle trail, took the Pictured Rocks cruise (highly recommend), drove to Manistique for the day, went to Whitefish Point on the way up. Ate at Roam Inn, carryout at Border grill. Stayed in October and some of the places and restaurants were closed for the season or had different hours, so be aware of that. Over all we had a great stay in the U.P. the hosts were also great

A fantastic lake cabin

We loved that place so much, it was hard to leave. We don't even have words to describe how charming and comfortable it is, the spacious living spaces, the inviting vintage kitchen, the ever changing views/sounds of the lake, the sunrises in the porch room...If like us you like the lake, this is it! Thank you Thomas and Tammy for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

Girls Weekend

We booked a last minute weekend on Superior, the accommodations and the location were perfect for our group ( might be a difficult place for seniors who are not mobile, navigating loft upstairs). Picturesque views right on the shore of Lake Superior, everything was provided: wood for a crackling fire and everything we needed to cook steaks on the grill.

Great Cabin

Its an updated rustic cabin. It was just my husband and myself, so perfect size for us. Its super clean! For as old as the cabin is....we didnt see one spider! The upstairs bedrooms are a challenge, so beware its a Tight staircase and you need to duck around a chimney to get to the 2 bedrooms with the bigger beds. We chose to stay downstairs, and with just 2 of us that worked out fine. The cabin is right on the lake... it has some huge rocks to get down to the water... if you dont want to scale down the rocks theres a roadside park just up the street with a huge sandy beach, like a 5 min drive. We saw several bald eagles that flew super close to the windows. The sounds of the water are amazing and theres so many windows you will never have a bad view. We would definantly stay here again. It was super close to trails, towns and a great home base while we did a fall color tour and picture rocks. The hosts were very responsive and i got instant replys!

Serene Lakeside Retreat

Absolutely fantastic location on Lake Superior. In fact, you could not get a cabin closer to the water without being in the lake! Lovely views with gorgeous sunrises and lapping waves to lull us to sleep in the evenings. Loved the rustic cabin vibe with all its woodsy charm, including the working fireplace and outdoor fire pit. Thomas even provided the wood, kindling, and paper to make our fires happen with ease. When not enjoying the camp life, we were super close to Musining and the Pictured Rocks National Seashore. Great stay, exactly as advertised!

Ideal Location and Accommodations

The property was larger than expected, incredibly clean, and well stocked. Waking up to the sunrises and listening to the waves was the perfect start to each day. Great location midway between Munising and Marquette. Can visit many waterfalls, see lots of wildlife, fish, swim, grab a bite at a local restaurant, or cook at the cottage. We ended many evenings with a campfire. We had no problems climbing down the rocks to the water to rock hunt, fish, and swim. Highly recommend!

Great Spot on Lake Superior

I rented the property with my wife, sister, and our dogs. As others have mentioned, the property was insanely clean. The enclosed porch that was added on was amazing and the star of the show. The rest of the house is an older cabin, so it has some wear. The attic has been converted to the bedrooms and are challenging to get up to for anyone that's tall. I also don't think it would have been a good fit for my older parents. You need to walk around the chimney, which is directly in the middle of the path to the bedrooms. Overall it's a great place that is impeccably clean with great views of the water. It's perfectly located between Marquette and Munising. If you're visiting the Pictured Rocks you can't do better!
