About this property

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

Unlace Your Boots Here!

This cabin is located within the Pictured Rocks National Forest. With Grand Marais less than 30 minutes to your East and Munising 15 minutes to the West, the location could not be more ideal for the outdoor adventurer. Its location and atmosphere allow for a quiet evening in after a long day of adventures.

Woodland Retreat is walking distance from the Melstrand Union General Store where you can purchase gas, sandwhiches, ice cream (seasonally), pasties, and some of the best home baked goods you can find in the UP!

Whether your passion is hiking, fishing, ATVs, snowmobiles, photography, or just need the opportunity to de-stress surrounded by nature, we have the perfect place for you.

It seems silly to have to add this, but we feel it is necessary. If you do not like wildlife, this is not the ideal location for you. If you are looking for an upscale Lodge type atmosphere, we are not the cabin for you. If you do not believe in keeping your dog on a leash, we would rather you stayed elsewhere (the cabin is on a semi busy road and we like dogs a lot and would be devastated if you lost yours that way). The cabin is older, it is cleaned after every guest with great care, but it is older. Yes, we have Wi-Fi, but occasionally mother nature and the powers that be slow it down or disable it. We recently installed a smart tv so you and your family can stream Disney + or Netflix on rainy or snowy days. This is a cabin, in the middle of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this large piece of property is shared with some geese, some parrots, a couple dogs, and their people. You will hear them. You may see them walking past occasionally. They will tell us how many people actually checked in and they do know how many guests you booked for. If you are looking to experience Pictured Rocks and the UP it is a great place to stay and we look forward to having you!

Horrible experience!!
We did not stay. The easy chair is nasty. Worn, torn and dirty arms. The manager said it is antique. It is not, just plain old and needs to be in the garbage. The ottoman has a rather large hole in the material. There are bunk beds but no ladder to get to top bunk. Talked to manager and we were told cancellation had to be 12 days prior. We offered to pay for one night ( we had booked it for 3 night)but were told we would not get any refund. How are you to know 12 days in advance what it is really like. I feel like this is a gotcha. That is money right down the drain.. What a scam!!

OK stay
We thought the cabin was going to be more secluded. It sits close to a major road. One of the descriptions said something about it being a cabin and bugs, and don't stay if that bothers you. That didn't bother us, but I'm not sure when the last time they cleaned. There were cobwebs by the bunk beds, dead flys all over the floor, and mouse turds in the silverware tray!

Uncharming
The place was just dirty. Wasps flying out of walls. Mouse poop everywhere, including silverware. Paid additional cleaning fee up front, and place was cleaner when we left. Mice running around while we were sitting inside. Windows dirty and locks broken. Check in Instructions read - Door unlocked, key on counter. Get there at check in time, door is locked, store is closed. Wait a couple minutes, then neighbor from store next door angrily yells key is on the top of the window frame?

Rustic
From the pictures I expected it to be back in the woods, instead it was right on the road. The beds were comfortable and everything as pictured. I must have missed it in the description, but I didn't realize that there were no kitchen towels.

Host was very prompt in replying to messages. Cabin was dark and stuffy, due to little air flow, but we enjoyed the small porch. Adequate cooking supplies to make meals.

Good as a sleep camp
The cabin is right by the street and the store . The store has fresh eggs and very yummy smoked fish . The location is good for day trips in different directions. There is nothing to sit outside . The cabin needs a little bit work and more cleaning.

This was a dog friendly cabin to stay. It is a bit isolated, but the general store next door was great. Easy to clean and a comfortable stay.
