Upper Peninsula Basecamps: 3 Cabin Stays Near Pictured Rocks for Trail Lovers, Waterfall Chasers & Star-Gazers. Now Taking Direct Bookings Through RentMichiganCabins.com!

Say Hello to Superior Vacation Rentals. Pictured Rocks isn’t just stripes on a cliff—it’s a full-body reset. Sandstone cathedrals glowing at sunset. Cobalt water cruising beneath you. Trails that slip from pine to Lake Superior shore in a single mile. If you’re craving that “let’s pack the cooler and go” energy, here are three stays from Superior Vacation Rentals that put Cabintimers within minutes of the good stuff—kayaks, ORV routes, waterfalls, night skies, and the UP’s legendary H-58 curves.

Jordan’s Retreat sits about 10 miles outside Munising with room for the whole crew. Three bedrooms and two living spaces give everyone breathing room, plus an easy-entry, single-level layout. Bring the machines—there’s a garage and Trail 8 access nearby—then wind down by the backyard fire ring under a sky that actually shows stars. You’re close to Miners Castle, Chapel Rock, and the Lake Superior overlooks that make phones run out of storage. Book direct, keep your dollars for pasties and gas.

Catchin Crickets is the UP in motion. This 3-bed, 2-bath cabin sleeps up to 10 and allows one pup under 50 lbs. Step out to Trail 8 and ride for miles; in February, the UP200 sled-dog race slips right behind the property—front-row winter magic. Back at base, there’s WiFi, AC, laundry, and a full kitchen for hot cocoa and skillet breakfasts. Boat tours, kayak rentals, and waterfall hunts—Wagner, Tannery, Munising—are all an easy hop. Direct booking means no mystery fees and fast answers from locals.

The Barndominium near Pictured Rocks brings group-friendly comfort with a utility twist—heated garage for sleds and ORVs, in-floor radiant heat, and a big open living space with a 65″ TV for game night. A spacious kitchen with an 8-foot island and blue cabinets begs for pancake duty. Three bedrooms, two baths, laundry, and a patio with a kettle-style fire pit round it out. Trails and kayak launches are minutes away; chase the Northern Lights at Miners Castle or Au Train Beach, ride the rolling H-58, or day-trip to Marquette for breweries and bay views—all while booking direct to skip third-party fees.

Things to do while you’re here

Base your days around water and woods. Kayak along the cliffs for close-up color therapy. Hike to Chapel Falls, Miners Falls, and Munising Falls for mist-on-your-face moments. Cruise Grand Island or trek a slice of the North Country Trail. When the throttle calls, rip Trail 8 through Hiawatha National Forest. Roll H-58’s curves to beach pull-offs and stargazing pullovers. Then reward yourself with Johnny Dogs, Foggy’s, or a local brew in Munising. These stays keep you close to it all, without the chaos of town.

Why Cabintimers book direct here

No middleman. No “surprise” fees. You talk with owners or local managers who actually know where to see the aurora, which launch handles pontoon rentals on a windy day, and which trailheads are snow-packed by noon. That local intel turns a nice trip into a story you retell.

Ready to lock in dates and play outside? Visit the rental pages and book direct—then start building your waterfall-and-campfire itinerary.
