Quiet Winter Hideaway Wood Fireplace & Snow SNOW IS HERE!
Tucked into the woods and next door to its sister cabin—yet privately separated by trees—this cozy winter hideaway is ideal for guests seeking solitude. Trail access is available via wide ditch riding, making the journey part of the adventure. Return each evening to a crackling wood-burning fireplace and the stillness of a true winter escape.
Best suited for experienced riders who enjoy a longer approach and value privacy, quiet, and a true backcountry winter feel.

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 small "john" fishing boat (two bench seats), 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.
Snowmobile trailhead is located approx 4 miles from door. Nice riding from cabin door to trail via wide ditch riding along county rd 440.

About the neighborhood
Located in Wetmore, this cabin is in a rural area and on a lake. While the natural beauty of Hiawatha National Forest and Dam Lake can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Valley Spur. Scuba diving and snorkeling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and cycling nearby. Visit our Wetmore travel guide

We absolutely loved this cabin!! The cabin is beautiful, super clean and well stocked! I loved how the host, Lisa checked in to see if we needed anything. The location was perfect for our trails and adventures! We would stay again!
Cabin was spectacular. Decorations and set up was beautiful. Cozy and peaceful interior. We did not stay on property during the day as we adventured to picture rocks, Laughing Whitefish Falls and Kitch-iti-kipi during the day and was treated to sunsets and the best star gazing possible when arriving back at night.
Beautiful- secluded comfortable home with an amazing view
We were looking for a private home up North that we could enjoy with our 2 well trained dogs and this home was that and so much more. We enjoyed the lake with our kayaks and fishing off the dock was a blast. We hiked to multiple waterfalls and enjoyed other walks where not another person was around. Munising is a cute town to visit. Would highly recommend this home for a relaxing, recharging, reconnecting vacation.
My wife and I rented this cabin for a week in the late summer and had a phenomenal experience. We frequently rent cabins in remote areas for our getaways and this was absolutely one of the cleanest and coziest cabins we have stayed in! The view of the lake from the back deck is gorgeous, and the amenities left nothing to be desired. We would not hesitate to return or to recommend it to friends and family!
The property is set up great, very clean, hosted our crew of 5 adults very comfortably. We had great snow and Trails. Its a hike to the trails but easy, about 4 miles to the trail. Only issue we had was cooking. we had planned on making a dish for five but the biggest skillet was an 8" telon pan that the coating was destroyed on and another 6" skillet. No biggy but changed so things for meals.
Very nice cabin in a remote location in Upper Peninsula Michigan. Kitchen was well stocked with all kitchen appliances and utensils..first place we’ve rented that had a crock pot! Lisa was very communicative and helpful to ensure a great stay. Pictured Rocks and trails throughout the area are beautiful. Rented a pontoon boat for 1/2 day to view Pictured Rocks which was the highlight of the trip! Be sure to bring bug spray -UP has lots of mosquitoes and other biting insects but worth it all for the benefit of experiencing the beautiful landscape!
We would of loved to have had a hot tub however the cabin had all the other amenities you need and more! Beautiful cabin, very clean, scenic views, firepit, wonderful fireplace for cold nights, a great deck to sit on facing the lake to watch the beautiful stars. Located in the middle of many great nature attractions.
Wonderful up north getaway cabin that is close to Munising! We would definitely stay here again on another pictured rocks trip! Host was very accommodating and made the check in process super easy and smooth. House has everything you could ask for!
The evening stars and morning birdsong were magical at Cranberry Lake Lodge. Many varied types of hiking trails in the area. The cabin is comfy, cosy, and super clean. Absolute quiet of the location was a treat for us city dwellers!
The property was beautiful and quite. The wood interior was astonishing and impressive with the structure. I really didn't sleep in the beds because my sisters would find me sleeping in the bean bags. They were so comfortable and I just loved staying in the loft. I plan on coming back to the area because the owners at the Midway General Store are so sweet.
Beautiful, peaceful setting. The cabin is well kept and extremely clean. Walking in it was warm and inviting. The table was set perfectly. Great communication with the renter. We had researched the area but loved that there is a binder there with information on the area.
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Cabin was very clean and well appointed, beautiful setting. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with needed equipment. It is quite remote, very quiet.
The cabin is beautiful and very nicely decorated! It was a bit difficult to find and the bugs were bad. Definitely need Off. Lisa was easy to talk to and very accomodating.
Very peaceful and gorgeous property. The dock area is a little mushy. Great place to make memories. Munising is a cute little town, and the pictures rocks are worth the hype. Download the Google map route for offline usage, was accurate to all our destinations when downloaded.
