Cozy Log Cabin In The Woods
This cabin was adorable! The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and dinners. The outside gas fire pit was perfect. Climbing up in the loft for bed each night was so cozy! The vibes were amazing!

Yellow Dog Yurt - Peace and Quiet near Marquette
An absolutely amazing place to stay! The Yurt was super nice and clean. The outside was exactly what we were looking for. A quiet, secluded getaway in the forest of the north. Plenty of room away from the road to let the dogs roam as well! My favorite part was the outdoor swing! if you're looking for the best home base while in the UP, you cant go wrong with this place. From cooking food on the campfire, to being in a great location for sight seeing, it has everything you could ask for. Even an outhouse with a view! A big THANK YOU to the hosts for maintaining and sharing such a wonderful place.

The Sugar Shack
Melissa and her husband have created an oasis. The cabin is beautiful, peaceful and there is so much love and detail put into every inch. The area itself is gorgeous and so soothing. I feel so relaxed after this stay- I will definitely be back!

Cozy A-Frame Cabin on the shores of Lake Huron
Spent almost a week here. Great place. Beautiful shoreline. Cozy and well styled cabin. Didn't even want to play any music or watch any shows. We just set by the fire, or inside, by the window, when it would get chilly outside - listened to the waves and the wind and watched the lake.

Scenic, Serene Lakefront Cabin — Wood Stove
We had a great relaxing time. It’s so cutely decorated and she thought of everything a guest would need, including snacks and wine. Very clean, furniture was comfortable, and everything was easy to find/use. We rafted, played games (provided), played corn hole, rode provided bikes, had a fire inside and outside, read while looking out at the lake, and more. It was very relaxing.

‘Little Blue’ - 1BR Cabin, Ford River-Escanaba
Beautiful location and the house was so cozy and pretty too, perfect for a couple’s getaway. Theres a beautiful drive by the beach. Overall, I loved it.

Rustic Cabin on a Hill
Great host, the cinnamon bread is the best! Awesome secluded place in the woods, super quite and highly recommend it!

Silver River Cozy Cabin
This is my second time staying at Richard's place and I'd happily do it again! The cabin is so cozy and set against a peaceful river and a lush forest. The whole cabin smells like cedar and has the loveliest touches. Richard was responsive and gave great recommendations!

Beside the Pines - on Paradise Lake
Wonderful stay!! house had more than adequate sleeping space, plenty of towels and linens. Would love to rent it again!! it is very well worth the money and you can't go wrong with beautiful Paradise Lake!!

The Solstice Cottage
This is a very spacious one bedroom place to stay. I really liked the size of the deck. Very comfortable furniture and bed. Every thing was very clean. I was there for a quick weekend trip to ride mtn bikes and being right in Copper Harbor allows you to park and not have to get in your vehicle again with the trails, shops, and restaurants all within a few blocks. Same and Shelby were attentive hosts. I hope to stay here again soon.

Deer Run
Very clean, cozy place in a beautiful setting. We loved the fire pit! Easy drive to many natural wonders including beaches, waterfalls and Pictured Rocks.

The Bay Home
The home was so comfortable we felt right at home. It was stocked with everything I could possibly need. The view of the water was amazing.. although it rained and was windy during our stay so we didn’t use the fire pit but I’m sure it would have been magnificent to sit under the stars and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We went to a few local restaurants and businesses and everyone was so kind. I wound definitely recommend and stay here again if ever back in the area

Waterfront Cottage at Larks Lake
The mist clearing on the lake in the morning sun reveals the changing colors of trees in the Fall Season. At night, the constellations sparkle strongly and clearly in the dark sky. And the sounds of silence increase the sense of peace and wonder. This is what you can experience whether sitting around a lakeside fire or sitting in the front room of the cottage. And making a home cooked meal is a pleasure as well...the kitchen supports good cooking and the dining room table supports warm and interesting conversations. Thanks, Leanne

South Lane Cottage #2
PEACEFUL and COMFORTABLE! very soft mattress and pretty view of trees. We walked to the restaurants. Very easy to check-in/check-out. Matthew was friendly, and responsive. Of all the towns, Bailey’s Harbor was the least touristy in the best way. The Airbnb has everything you need. Really liked the fan in the bedroom. We got a kick out of the James Bond theme others mentioned in the reviews. Would stay here again!

Great Lakes Michigan Retreat. Pet friendly
we enjoyed our stay at this location. Jennie is very friendly and helpful and available for any questions all the time. I would recommend this place to all my friends.

Cozy A-frame on Clear Lake
Fantastic hosts with fantastic little cabin. Absolutely loved my stay. Super cozy and warm during the coldest snap of the year! Would be even better in the summer with the beautiful location, outdoor amenities, and classic cabin on the lake!

Cabin on lake w sauna. Pets ok. Boat and kayaks.
Had a wonderful time here. The lake is beautiful, and if you like fishing a boat is provided. Lots of pike and perch here. The cabin was clean and comfortable and the host was welcoming and made the check process very easy. I would definitely stay here again with my family!

Beach house on Sandy Bay
Ron & Debbie thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to get back in tune with nature, forget the city life, & let go of things that serve us no good. Watching sunrises every morning and seeing wild life in our surroundings was amazing. We got to leave refreshed & feeling so much love. We hate to go but cannot wait until we are back!

1 bedroom cabin
A very cozy spot in the woods. We loved the views and it was a great end point for our hikes. It was close enough to town so if we needed anything it was a short drive but remote enough that it felt cozy and put of the way.

Adventure U.P. 2
no complaints

Little Cabin in the Woods (Cabin 3)
This was a hidden gem!! We wish we would have booked another day to just explore the cabin and all it had to offer! We will definitely be back!

Random Point: Apartment Tree House
What a wonderful weekend we had in Marquette celebrating my son's NMU graduation with family. This unique home feels inviting, warm and cozy and the location and setting are absolutely gorgeous offering stunning water views of Lake Superior. We were fortunate to see an eagle too. The privacy it offers was peaceful and the special lookout viewing areas to enjoy the lake were well planned as well as the relaxing sauna, indoor & outdoor gathering areas, wildlife including birds & squirrels, a pond and the beach & rock formations as well. Located a short drive to town and in close proximity to the great hiking areas and water falls too. The host was lovely, very responsive, and informative. Our family so enjoyed this special home and our visit to Marquette and many cherished memories were made!

Whippoorwill Valley Cabin quiet waterfront cabin
This was a great place and Erin was a great host. The amenities of the space were top notch and I found everything I needed. Especially appreciated the helpful instructions and the local menus. Definitely a great location to visit state and county parks. We loved visiting Dave' Falls!

Lakefront Escape w/Kayaks, Canoe, Firepit, Fishing
Vern is an excellent host and communicated proactively and clearly. He’s super helpful in case of any questions or concerns that you might have about the stay. The place offers pristine and mundane views of the Sandy lake. Availability of kayaks is a great addition to all this setting. The cabin is a really comfortable place to live in and is equipped with all the amenities with a Starlink WiFi connection. Would definitely recommend anyone who’s looking for a stay in the region and would definitely visit again.
Your guide to Upper Peninsula of Michigan
All About Upper Peninsula of Michigan
The Upper Peninsula can feel a little like the Wild West of the Midwest: scenic, rugged, remote, a place that takes determination to live in year-round and inspires awe in visitors. The 300-mile-long peninsula, whose triangular shape is framed by Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron, is one of those regions that rewards long stays and excursions outdoors — both the warm-weather kind (hunting, hiking) and winter sports. From the Porcupine Mountains, near the Wisconsin border, to Sault Ste. Marie just over the water from Canada, the UP promises rocky coastlines, lush waterfalls, and old-growth forests. The 300,000 Yoopers who live here year-round extend a good-natured Midwestern welcome to those traveling through.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Located to the north of Wisconsin, with boundaries defined by two Great Lakes, the Upper Peninsula is no tropical destination. After a glorious, crisp fall, the snow begins falling in October and doesn't stop for six months. Don’t stint on packing winter wear, good boots, and possibly snowshoes in case you have car trouble. Spring rushes through the region in April and May, then yields to a glorious few months from June through August, where the temperatures hang in the 70s Fahrenheit and occasionally slip higher. Bring shorts and swimwear for the daytime, and light long-sleeve shirts and pants for the evening — black flies and mosquitos can be a nuisance.
Top things to do in Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Tahquamenon Falls State Park
This 50,000-acre state park in the east of the UP is densely covered in trees and home to one of the largest waterfalls in the United States, with a spectacular 50-foot drop. A four-mile hike through maples and beeches brings you to a second set of cascades; the park makes off-road track chairs available for wheelchair users to explore both falls.
Sault Ste. Marie
When the Soo Locks connecting Lakes Superior and Huron opened in 1855, wealth and industry came to the Upper Midwest. It’s still hypnotic to watch the massive ships traveling between the Atlantic and Minnesota rise and descend. The town itself is a pleasure to meander around, too, with a lively dining and arts scene.
Marquette
Marquette, the largest city on the peninsula, combines the charm of a college town with unparalleled access to Lake Superior and the surrounding wildlife. Miles of mountain bike trails wind around the outskirts of the city. The Marquette Maritime Museum and the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse, open during the summer months, display the fascinating history of sea travel on the world’s biggest freshwater lake.
Keweenaw Peninsula
Old mining towns dot this remote peninsula-on-a-peninsula in the western third of the region; the Cornish pasties miners introduced to Michigan are the most obvious remnant of the once-thriving industry. The town of Copper Harbor is a good base for your explorations, whether they include staying on the shore to see the Northern Lights or hiking the trails of Fort Wilkins Historic State Park.
