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.

Private Lodge Frontage!

If lake mornings, pine-scented breezes, and Pictured Rocks day trips are your kind of vacation, put 16 Lake Lodge on the list. This three-bedroom Munising-area cabin sits right on 16 Mile Lake in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, giving Cabintimers an easy launch into paddling at sunrise and s’mores under a sky full of stars at night. It’s quiet, it’s convenient to the action, and it’s made for groups that want time together on and off the water.

Inside, the lodge keeps things simple and comfortable. A roomy living area centers around a fireplace for those cool UP evenings, while the fully equipped kitchen handles pancake breakfasts and after-adventure dinners without fuss. Step out to the deck, take in that long water view, and listen to loons call while the coffee’s still hot. Wi‑Fi keeps you connected when you need it, but most Cabintimers tell us the lake view steals the show.

The property shines outside. 16 Mile Lake is an all‑sports playground ringed by forest, so bring the fishing rods, kayaks, and that book you’ve been saving for dock time. There’s a private dock for easy in-and-out, plus a grill and lakeside fire pit that quickly become the evening hangout. Summer days tend to drift from swims to boat rides to burgers on the grill — the kind of rhythm you remember long after the suitcases are back in the closet.

Fall here is a color show. Pack a camera and a light layer and wander Hiawatha National Forest trails or cruise County Road H-58 for sweeping leaf views. When the snow arrives, this location really pays off: you can hop right on local snowmobile trails from the property and be into deep UP powder fast. Come spring, waterfalls swell and quiet trails return — it’s an easy four‑season escape.

And you’re minutes from the sights Cabintimers travel north to see. Spend a full day at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore — hike Miners Castle and Miners Falls, stroll Sand Point Beach, or book a boat tour to see those striped cliffs from the water. Bike or hike Grand Island National Recreation Area. In town, grab pasties, whitefish sandwiches, and a pint from a local brewpub. For a classic supper-club evening, head to The Buckhorn. Au Train’s beaches, Christmas’s quirky photo ops, and day trips to Grand Marais or Marquette keep the options wide open.

What Cabintimers love about booking 16 Lake Lodge directly with the owner? No service fees. No middleman. Real answers from a local who knows the lake, the trails, and when to be at the falls for the best photos. That direct connection often means flexible arrival tips, insider fishing spots, and recommendations you won’t find on big-box travel sites.

Trip planning quick hits

• Sleeps groups comfortably in three bedrooms with a laid‑back lakehouse layout that works for families and friends.

• Lakefront deck, private dock, grill, and fire pit keep everyone outside from breakfast through stargazing.

• Four seasons of play: paddling and fishing in summer, color tours in fall, snowmobiling and skiing in winter, waterfall chasing in spring.

• Near Munising’s outfitters, boat tours, beaches, and trailheads; easy access to Hiawatha National Forest and Grand Island.
