Near Munising.and and Snowmobile trails


This historic log cottage on the banks of Lake Superior was originally built in the first part of the 1900’s as one of the early fishing camps of Shelter Bay. Over the years there have been numerous modern improvements, but much of the rustic charm, such as the large stone fireplace and the low ceilings and exposed rafters of the second story, remain…and the character does too. The shoreline is stones and boulders which make for lots of action and adds to the aesthetics that come from the sound of lapping waves. The site is wooded, peaceful, and private. This classic, up-north cabin has a main level with an eat-in kitchen, a spacious living room with the fireplace, an additional dining area, a ¾ bath with a low-threshold shower, and The Lake Room with two full sized futons, offering an amazing view of Lake Superior and Au Train Island. There are literally windows and views everywhere! Upstairs, facing the lake, there are two quaint bedrooms with queen sized beds and, toward the rear, an additional sleeping area with two single beds. If you’re keeping track, the place sleeps up to 10 people. Shelter Bay is conveniently located less than 30 minutes from Marquette or Munising. The cottage is situated close to the snowmobile trails and the circular drive allows for parking the truck and trailer combo for hauling your machines. Park and ride right from the cabin. High speed internet and Wi-Fi is available! This is your opportunity to experience part of history in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Arrangements for pets are available.

What’s nearby? Deer Lake is an all sports lake, has a public boat ramp and is just down the road. The Brownstone Inn is a great place to eat and is 3 miles away. The public boat ramp to Lake Superior is less than 3 miles from the cottage. Au Train is only 7 miles away and offers food, party supplies, gas, and canoeing on the Au Train River. Au Train Lake is another all sports lake in the area with a public launch site. Grand Island National Recreation Area and Pictured Rocks are close-by.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

If you’re looking a traditional rural cabin with modern updates, this place is perfect. You cannot beat the location – it is a few feet away from the lake and it is a short drive to either Munising or Marquette. The kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of firewood for us to use, and every room had an additional space heater, in case we were cold. The cabin gave us the cozy feel of comfort and protection on a cold winter night. Will definitely stay again if next time in the UP brings us into this area.

Great place! So warm and cozy...and those views! Like the other reviews said the upstairs is hard to manuever but it was worth it to wake up to that view. It adds to the charm. Lovely property and location. Clean and welcoming. We didn't need contact with the hosts during the stay but they were great to deal with while booking. Will definitely go back!

Beautiful Unique Cabin with Gorgeous Views!

We enjoyed our fall getaway at this cabin! Beautiful views of Lake Superior from all over the property. Location was perfect - we explored Marquette, Pictured Rocks, and went on a few good hikes. The cabin is rustic but appointed well, cozy, and very clean. Bonus: we had big waves and were able to see the northern lights during our stay!

Great little place on Lake Superior

Great place for peace and quiet directly on Lake Superior. Although the cabin is quite old, it maintains its charm and is well kept, probably the cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed in. Kudos to whoever cleans this place. We trecked to eben ice caves, visited pictured rocks, Munising, and Marquette, and overall had a great time! Highly recommend!

A fantastic lake cabin

We loved that place so much, it was hard to leave. We don't even have words to describe how charming and comfortable it is, the spacious living spaces, the inviting vintage kitchen, the ever changing views/sounds of the lake, the sunrises in the porch room...If like us you like the lake, this is it! Thank you Thomas and Tammy for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

Girls Weekend

We booked a last minute weekend on Superior, the accommodations and the location were perfect for our group ( might be a difficult place for seniors who are not mobile, navigating loft upstairs). Picturesque views right on the shore of Lake Superior, everything was provided: wood for a crackling fire and everything we needed to cook steaks on the grill.

The epitome of a yooper camp. Waves incredible!

Loved this camp! Rustic yet very clean. My husband was occupied with the fire most of the time, by choice. I use a walker, so couldn't get to the bedrooms upstairs, but we slept on one of the futons in the lake room, and slept to the sound of the waves. Incredible. And the view phenomenal. If you're looking for a cozy camp, this is your place.

Ideal Location and Accommodations

The property was larger than expected, incredibly clean, and well stocked. Waking up to the sunrises and listening to the waves was the perfect start to each day. Great location midway between Munising and Marquette. Can visit many waterfalls, see lots of wildlife, fish, swim, grab a bite at a local restaurant, or cook at the cottage. We ended many evenings with a campfire. We had no problems climbing down the rocks to the water to rock hunt, fish, and swim. Highly recommend!

Serene Lakeside Retreat

Absolutely fantastic location on Lake Superior. In fact, you could not get a cabin closer to the water without being in the lake! Lovely views with gorgeous sunrises and lapping waves to lull us to sleep in the evenings. Loved the rustic cabin vibe with all its woodsy charm, including the working fireplace and outdoor fire pit. Thomas even provided the wood, kindling, and paper to make our fires happen with ease. When not enjoying the camp life, we were super close to Musining and the Pictured Rocks National Seashore. Great stay, exactly as advertised!
