Twin Lakes Lodge – Rustic Lake Cabin Near Pictured Rocks

Twin Lakes Lodge is a classic rustic Northwoods cabin offering a peaceful lake getaway while still being conveniently close to Munising and the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Set back from the water for added privacy, the cabin includes shared access to Twin Lake, featuring a hard, sandy bottom ideal for swimming, relaxing, and lakeside fun.

Guests enjoy complimentary use of a raft, paddle boat, and a 12’ aluminum fishing boat (electric motors only), making it easy to spend your days fishing, swimming, or simply floating on the lake. Fishing on Twin Lake is catch and release only, with species including bass, panfish, pike, and bullheads.

Inside, the cabin offers a warm, rustic feel with a main-floor great room that includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and living space. The main level features two bedrooms, while the spacious loft serves as the third sleeping area, overlooking the great room. With a mix of queen and double beds plus a queen air bed in the loft, the lodge comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests.

Great place for UP fall/waterfalls

The cabin was wonderful and in a very quiet location. It was in a good location for traveling between many waterfalls and trekking trails. Driving between locations was joy due to the fall foliage. We enjoyed our stay and will be putting this cabin on our return list.

Comfort in the woods

The property was comfortable and clean, with nice amenities like videos and games that we could use. There was space to spread out and it was well-equipped/stocked. We liked the campfire and seating area out there. It was a more isolated location, which we knew, but the wi-fi was good as long as we were in the cabin. A few things that would have been nice to have were a dishwasher, washer & dryer, and air conditioning or better fans (we happened to stay there on a hotter and more humid week, so while A/C might not be completely necessary, some additional cooling options could have helped). The water was very iron tasting, which was noted, but we definitely had to bring our own bottled water. I personally would have preferred cotton bedsheets as they seemed to be microfiber and not as cool in the hotter weather. Overall, though, it was a nice place to stay and we had good communication with the host. We received timely and clear information for check-in.

Perfect Little Cabin

The cabin was perfect for our vacation. It looked nicer from the outside in the pictures so we were a little worried when we first pulled up. But the inside was pretty, clean, and space was utilized well. We had 6 people; teens and adults and had plenty of space. Exactly what we were looking for. Please note that the beach area isn't actually a beach (no sand). It is the owner's private lake access that they share with guests. There is no lake view from the cabin. The "beach" is situated right next to their home and you have to walk through their yard and any outdoor activities they may be enjoying to get to it. They are very nice, just be aware if you are planning on setting up to hang out at the "beach".... you'll be hanging out in someone's back yard, on the grass, without view of the cabin you're staying in. It could be a little awkward. Other than that, the house was perfect. Private, comfortable, and provided all that we needed.

A Great Family Getaway

This cabin is truly a wonderful place to have a family gathering! Just a few things I wanted to point out. 1. Take heed to what Lisa says. Make sure you use the written instructions she has provided. Print them out, as you won't have internet. Google Maps will get you there...eventually...using a very narrow sandy road (trail-like). 2. If you need a Doctor, go to Superior Family Walk In Clinic in Munising. All were very nice and thorough. The hospital is right behind it. 3. Those with Sprint phone service had problems connecting to the WiFi the last morning. No idea why. We will be back!

Very Charming Cottage

We really enjoyed the Hiawatha Hideaway cottage. Location was secluded although a little difficult to get to with the condition of the dirt roads. Check-in was a breeze and we were very close to all the beautiful scenery we wanted to experience (Pictured Rocks, beaches, waterfalls, etc..). The only aspect that was a less than expected was the swimming area on the lake at the cottage was swampy and buggy, not that great for kids. Everything else was great though and we had a fantastic time.

Perfect, pet-friendly home base to explore the eastern UP

My husband, our two dogs, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Twin Lakes Lodge. The lodge is far nicer than I expected, and the manager, Lisa, made sure we knew how to reach her if needed. There is plenty of room for a large party, the furniture is comfortable, the kitchen and bath are well apportioned, and the fire pit / grilling area offers plenty of seating. Tucked back into a wooded area around the lake, the lodge is very private and quiet. I felt comfortable enough to let our dogs go unleashed as long as I kept my eye on them. We did not go down to the lake (which is at the owners’ home just down the road), so I can’t speak to that feature. The location, about 12 miles south of Munising, is ideal for day trips to waterfalls, Pictured Rocks, hiking trails, etc. And the fall colors in the area were stunning. I look forward to coming back and can’t recommend the lodge enthusiastically enough. A few tips: Some navigation systems list the lodge as in “Munising Township” rather than “Wetmore.” We had no cell phone service at all in the national & state forests (understandably), so don’t rely on your phone to navigate you. (The lodge itself has a strong WIFI connection and satellite TV.)
