Cranberry Lake Log Home Private Rustic Woodland Retreat Near Pictured Rocks

Secluded Woodland Retreat on a Quiet Spring-Fed Lake
Wildlife Haven – Bald Eagles, Deer & Nature All Around
Near Pictured Rocks – Scenic 25-Mile Drive Through Hiawatha Forest

Tucked deep in the woods on a quiet spring-fed lake, Moose Lodge is a peaceful retreat surrounded by wildlife, towering trees, and total privacy. Just a scenic 25-mile drive through the Hiawatha National Forest brings you to Munising and Pictured Rocks. The cabin is located on Cranberry Lake with a sister property nearby, thoughtfully positioned to maintain a peaceful and private setting for both homes.. A wood-burning fireplace, snow-covered trees, and a peaceful lake setting create a cozy winter hideaway worth the ride. You can rent one or both for larger families!

Moose Lodge on Cranberry Lake is everything the Upper Peninsula is known for—peaceful woods, abundant wildlife, and a setting that allows you to truly unplug and relax.

Located on a small, private inland lake just 25 miles from Munising and Pictured Rocks, the drive itself is part of the experience—winding through the scenic beauty of the Hiawatha National Forest.

This beautiful log home offers approximately 1,600 square feet of warm, inviting space designed for comfort and connection. The main living area features a stunning stone wood-burning fireplace, a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances (including a gas range), and a log dining table perfect for gathering after a day outdoors.

The main floor includes a primary bedroom with a queen log bed, as well as a bunk room with twin log bunks—ideal for children or additional guests. A full bathroom and laundry are also located on this level. Sliding glass doors provide views of the peaceful lake and surrounding woods.

Upstairs, the loft offers a cozy sitting area with a log-style couch and an oversized bean bag chair—perfect for reading, relaxing, or unwinding. The third bedroom with a full-size bed and an additional full bathroom are also located on the loft level.

The home comfortably sleeps 6 guests in beds, with space for up to 2 additional guests using an air mattress or couches. Please be sure to enter the correct number of guests when booking so pricing is accurate.

Outside, enjoy a large fire pit and the quiet beauty of the surrounding forest. The lake is ideal for paddling, fishing, and enjoying nature from the dock. Please note this is not a traditional swimming lake, as there is no beach and the lake bottom is soft and natural.

Cranberry Lake is a quiet, spring-fed inland lake known for its clear water and peaceful, natural setting. Guests can enjoy casual fishing for northern pike, yellow perch, and panfish such as bluegill from the dock or a small boat. Included is a 14' fishing boat (two bench seats), a canoe and paddles, anchor, oars, and life vests provided for guest use. Whether you're casting a line, paddling the shoreline, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings, the lake offers a true Northwoods experience. You are welcome to bring along a small motor or electric motor.

For winter guests, snowmobile trail access is nearby, with the trailhead approximately 4 miles from the property. Riders can access the trail via wide ditch riding along County Road 440.

The garage is available for parking or working on sleds in the winter, and there is ample space for large trailers.

Moose Lodge shares the property with a nearby sister cabin, thoughtfully positioned with wooded surroundings to maintain a quiet and private setting. If you have 12 to 16 guess you might enjoy renting both cabins.

Very beautiful, secluded property on a lake. The bunkbed did not have a ladder or any way to get to the top so we did not use the top bunk. People who were on the lower level, reported that they could hear people on the upper level walking, so not the best sound insulation inside the house. The sink in the upper level bathroom did not drain well.About 30 minutes drive to Munising and about 10-15 minutes drive to the closest store which was very good.

Upper Peninsula

Do Not STAY HERE!!!!!The cabin was not well kept at all. The floors and the counter tops were very sticky throughout the cabin. Cobwebs in various places in the cabin. Bugs and spiders also in the home. The cleanliness of this cabin was below standard. With being in the UP I expected mosquitoes and bugs, but it was extremely excessive at this place plus hornets throughout the cabin. I looked under the sink in the kitchen and could see a mouse trap. We could tell that there was a dead mouse somewhere behind a cabinet or the fridge. The sliding glass door had dirt and debris all in its tracks. I contacted the owner, she mentioned about the cleaner to come back out to do cleaning which I thought was nice. We declined. We didn’t even bother to enjoy the yard because of how bad the mosquitoes were and or go on the lake. This place really needs updating and far better cleaning company to take care of this place. Our kids enjoyed the loft area that had beanbags up there with a hole in one of the beanbags from the previous renter. When we left, the bag was in disrepair from my kids, using it in the previous renter which we got blamed for. The owner didn’t even check to see how clean the place was from the last renter and a check if that beanbag was ripped from the previous owner which she blamed us for. Where this is located, it is about a half hour from Munising. We were hoping this would be a good central hub for us, but if you’re looking for a cabin to be in the middle of nowhere.

Beautiful, private, quiet, perfect getaway

The cabin was beautiful as pictured. Great location to explore the Pictured Rocks area. After a day of kayaking and hiking it was awesome to come home to such a beautiful spot. Sitting on the dock at night was amazing. The stars were phenomenal. The home owner checked in a couple times but was not needed. Everything was in order. If I have any suggestions - it’s probably time to upgrade the mattresses

Wonderful getaway for the family

We wanted to experience the log cabin getaway and decided on this central U.P. location. I'm glad we did, the host provided everything we needed for an enjoyable stay and sent a PDF with very detailed information including directions to find this remote cabin on cranberry lake. Our family of 4 had plenty of room and privacy for the girls. Very happy with the host and our stay.

Family trip to the UP

Property was easy to locate, short distance from Munising, and clean. Vacationed with my wife and 2 children ages 12 and 14. Cabin was much more spacious then I thought it would be. Everything was clean and in order. The host, Lisa, had a folder with info about the cabin and surrounding attractions and left us a great welcome basket with local jams, chocolates, and fresh bread. My son and I enjoyed the available canoe and fishing for perch and sunfish in Lake Cranberry. It was a great home base for all that the area has to offer.

Clean and comfortable cabin in pristine wilderness

We had a small family gathering at this clean and comfortable cabin. We were constantly on the dock, fishing and watching wildlife. Beautiful location on a very private, quiet, and rural neighborhood. We canoed to see the beaver huts, grilled fresh fish, and played games into the night. The cabin is tucked away, but a short drive to town. Don't forget to do a boat tour in Munising or go swimming at nearby Pete's Lake. A great place to stay and experience Michigan's upper peninsula in all it's glory!
