About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Perfect Adventure Nest!

Your map app will direct you to the Melstrand Union General Store, when you arrive at the store there is a wooden fence on the east side of the building. At the end of the fence there is a driveway leading back towards the woods, just before the dumpster at the end you will see a brown cabin to your left. There is a single door on the north side of the building, that is the entrance. Please reach out to Ariana if you are having difficulty locating the cabin.

This cabin is brand new with everything you'll need after a long day of hiking, fishing, riding the trails, or exploring the beautiful Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore. It is walking distance from the Melstrand Union General Store where you can not only find gas but also snacks, hand scooped ice cream, baked goods (made fresh daily), sandwiches, and so much more!

We look forward to being a part of your UP experience!

This was very conveniently located and clean. However it had a bad odor and the kitchen was very sparsely furnished…only a microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot and 2 mugs. It was fine for our needs as we spent the day in Pictured Rocks or the town of Munising and just needed a place to shower and sleep.

Size and amenities were as expected. Host/property manager was very communicative and responded to all inquiries very quickly. It was cold in the property with no way to increase the temperature inside. Shower water was mostly cold which was not ideal over a rainy, cool weekend.

Great spot in the UP to stay

This is a simple little cabin in the UP with a good location to Pictured Rocks area. We found it basic and reasonably priced for a couple of nights for us to enjoy the area. We appreciated the short stay opportunity and great communication with the owner/renter.

Overall it’s a nice place to stay in proximity to pictured rocks, hiking, and Munising. I’m not one to complain so I didn’t reach out but the cabin has a smell of either garbage or maybe a dead animal somewhere. After spending a day in the fresh air, walking into the cabin almost took your breath away-the smell was very bad. I would recommend the place if they can get the smell taken care of.

Great Get-Away

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights on our honeymoon. We wanted a place near Pictured Rocks as we planned to go kayaking. The cabin was in between the two ends of the park and gave convenient access to everything in between.

Great location for snowmobiling trip

This property is exactly what we were looking for for our UP snowmobile trip. A store with ethanol free gas was on site at this property. Cabin was clean and beds were comfortable. Trail access was literally across the road. Grand Marais, Seney and Paradise trails were excellent and easy to access from this property. Will book here again for next trip.

Clean, simple space to escape the mosquitoes!

Nice little place. The mosquitoes were thick at the time of year we went and this was a good, affordable substitute to camping.

Pictured Rocks visit

The place was just what we wanted. Location is fantastic about halfway between Munising and Grand Marais. It was only about a mile from the Mosquito Falls/Chappel Rock loop we most wanted to hike.

Awesome price

We checked prices on many locations and this one was larger than a hotel room, big shower and bathroom, nice kitchen area for like half the price of places just 15 min away in Munising. Highly recommend.

Quick Getaway

We booked last minute and just needed a place to sleep. We had plenty of space for the 4 of us, the cooler and even counter space for the crockpot. The beds/pillows were just okay. We would definitely book here again.

Nice place to stay

Had everything we needed. Close to where we were hiking and about 15 mins from a small town. Its nice that there is a general store right next to it. People sell firewood all along that road. Surprised how long the hot water lasted. We had to shower 4 people in a row
