✨🌌Peaceful riverside cabin in the UP near public beach🌊, 🥾trails & the Porkies!🌲

Welcome to your UP adventure headquarters: *Floodwood River Oar’asis*! Our tranquil little artfully curated getaway is the perfect home base for anyone visiting the UP! Our vibes are a blend of outdoorsy inspired northwoods nostalgia balanced with some comforts you’d find at home (picture cozy linens, comfy beds, a rainfall style shower head, the crackle of a campfire under the stars, and a warm cup of coffee/tea). Hosting is so much more to us than just renting out our cabin. We strive to help create a memorable experience for our guests! A bit about our location: perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, we are situated along the banks of the Floodwood River, and we are a few miles from the public beach for Lake Superior access. During peak snow season, bring your sleds and ride (safely) along the shoulder of the highway to the trailhead (3mi)! If conditions are just right, you may even fall asleep to the sound of the waves of the big lake, or stay up late and catch a glimpse of the breathtaking dance of the northern lights! The cabin sits on serene 32 acres of private wooded property so you are welcome to explore, snowshoe (provided for guests in winter) and relax to your hearts content. We are located just a few miles from town, where you’ll find a selection of shops, groceries, gas as well as options for dining out (we reccommend The Squeeze!). We are also approx 20 miles away from Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park including Lake of the Clouds, all levels of hiking trails, waterfalls, beaches, cc and downhill skiing and more! There are plenty of nearby snowmobile, atv and hiking trails/UP adventure hotspots (Bond Falls, Agate Falls, etc. or take the ferry to Isle Royale) within an hour or so radius of the cabin; the possibilities are endless no matter what season you visit! Interior cabin amenities include: the main floor is wheelchair accessible, has a covered porch with spacious entryway, full bath with tile shower, petite yet well equipped kitchen and wet bar as well as a dining and living area. There are two queen beds, one on the main floor and one up in the loft, sleeping a total of 4 people. Upstairs, opposite the sleeping area, you’ll find a desk for creatives and a cozy reading nook. We have internet service for you to work remotely, but also encourage you to disconnect and take time to enjoy a hobby of yours or explore the outdoors! Speaking of outdoor space: Please be respectful our occasional animal visitors, including deer, hummingbirds, river beavers, and more! We have a firepit with chairs as well as a trail down to the river. There is a very large and level gravel area with plenty of room for parking and unloading trailers for those of you who are visiting us to snowmobile or ATV/side by side on the local trails! If youre looking to rent, Hamilton’s North Coast rents sleds and atvs. We cannot wait for you to join us @floodwoodriveroarasis on your next trip to Upper Michigan!
**We fully respect your privacy during your stay, but we do stop by occasionally to water the outdoor plants, plow snow and take the garbage out for collection. Thank you for understanding!**
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a phone, and an ironing board.

If you’re looking for a cozy, comfortable, relaxing getaway, this is the place for you. From the start Heidi and Gary were incredibly helpful and welcoming and made us feel right at home. Heidi welcomed us with the best banana bread I’ve ever had and Gary ensured we could brave the snow by clearing the parking lot for us. It was the perfect getaway. I highly recommend staying w them, we will absolutely be returning in the future :)

The sweetest, coziest little Vrbo in a great location on the south shores of Superior. The hosts clearly care about their guests experience and are attentive to details, provide all the comforts and even some extra little treats! We felt immediately at home and were thrilled at how easy we could get to the lake in the clouds and agate beach, as well as the local beach right down the road! So worth it! Would go back in a heartbeat.

Great location for visiting the Porkies while still being close to groceries and restaurants. The cabin property was nice and private with spacious grounds surrounded by trees and a great fire pit. The interior had everything we could possibly need including spices, coffee, and toiletries in case we forgot anything. This was, by far, the best stocked rental we’ve ever stayed at. Beyond that, it was just a fantastic cabin to relax after long hikes and wake up to the next day of hiking.

This cabin was the perfect retreat. A really well-stocked kitchen made cooking & clean-up a breeze. The rain-head shower was a pleasant surprise. The overall peaceful nature of the location really made it feel like a retreat with just us and the stars! I loved the porch, and all the little touches with twinkle lights on the porch, and in the cabin. Brightens the space in a soft & relaxing way. The woodwork was really lovely. The garden surrounding the cabin was just the right size. We loved it and highly recommend it!

Our hosts Heidi and Gary were great during our stay. Heidi made us a Dutch oven cake with homemade whipped cream upon our arrival and it was delicious. They had all the items that people might need like soap, shaving cream, shampoo etc.. nice touches. Coffee , tea, cocoa mix, items for cappuccinos. It’s a cozy cabin that feels like a home. Heidi has set up hummingbird feeders in front of the porch and it’s fun to sit on the porch and watch the hummingbirds zoom around. There’s usually 6 or so flying in and out. The cabin is also in a good location. It’s a short distance from Ontonagan and about 15 minutes or so away from Porcupine Mountains. It was our 2nd visit to this cabin. We had a blast and plan on returning again! Thank you Heidi and Gary

We enjoyed our stay at the Oar-asis! The location was ideal for us, with doing activities in the Porkies and in Ontonagon, and we were surprised by how many amenities were available! The hosts thought of everything that is needed for a great stay, plus the complimentary coffee, breads and cookies were delicious! One of the better VRBOs we stayed at with a very nicely stocked kitchen, charcoal for the grill, etc. The hummingbirds at the feeder were a delight to watch, and we even saw a deer wander along the yard perimeter to enjoy the apple trees one of the evenings!

So very impressed with this charming cottage! Absolutely amazing stay with so much to offer near the shores of Lake Superior. Heidi is a one of a kind hostess with all her creativity and close attention to detail everything you need is available within her immaculate haven! My wife and I were greeted with Blueberry Crepes in the fridge which made the for quite a delicious treat for our first morning before exploring the Upper Keweenaw Peninsula!The beautiful flowerbeds, humming birds, and porch to relax on were simply amazing!Just can't wait to return and spend an entire week next time we visit!

We loved this cabin stay! The location was right across the street from Lake Superior with easy access to the many pull ins to get to the lake. It was a short and beautiful drive to the Porcupine National Forest, which we visited 3 times during our stay. The cabin was immaculate, with lots of thoughtful things inside that made us feel very welcome. The whole place is really charming, we felt very comfortable. My son really liked the upstairs bedroom. We enjoyed sitting outside watching the humming birds and saw lots of deer and colorful birds. Heidi is a very kind host, she baked us some wonderful bread! She went above and beyond to make our stay fabulous. We enjoyed this trip so much, people in Ontonagon are very nice. We took a road trip to Bayfield and took a ferry to the Apostle islands. We also drove to copper harbor on another day. We were so impressed with the pristine beaches and lake areas that we saw everywhere. I can highly recommend Heidi’s cabin, it makes a great base camp. We just can’t wait to come back!
