About this property

The Perfect Adventure Nest!

Your map app will direct you to the Melstrand Union General Store, when you arrive at the store there is a wooden fence on the east side of the building. At the end of the fence there is a driveway leading back towards the woods, just before the dumpster at the end you will see a brown cabin to your left. There is a single door on the north side of the building, that is the entrance. Please reach out to Ariana if you are having difficulty locating the cabin.

This cabin is brand new with everything you'll need after a long day of hiking, fishing, riding the trails, or exploring the beautiful Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore. It is walking distance from the Melstrand Union General Store where you can not only find gas but also snacks, hand scooped ice cream, baked goods (made fresh daily), sandwiches, and so much more!

We look forward to being a part of your UP experience!

The location to nearby attractions was ideal; however, the shower temperature would fluctuate considerably and the heater did not work. We did appreciate the coziness and simplicity of the cabin.

Great spot in the UP to stay

This is a simple little cabin in the UP with a good location to Pictured Rocks area. We found it basic and reasonably priced for a couple of nights for us to enjoy the area. We appreciated the short stay opportunity and great communication with the owner/renter.

Clean, simple space to escape the mosquitoes!

Nice little place. The mosquitoes were thick at the time of year we went and this was a good, affordable substitute to camping.

Quick Getaway

We booked last minute and just needed a place to sleep. We had plenty of space for the 4 of us, the cooler and even counter space for the crockpot. The beds/pillows were just okay. We would definitely book here again.

Babymoon!

We went here for our last trip as a couple before we have our first baby! It was VERY DIRTY. We dusted the entire place, swept, and killed multiple insects (including a brown recluse) when we first entered the place. There were so many dust balls and cobwebs. It looked like the place hadn't been cleaned in years. Other than that, it was the PERFECT stay! We loved how close we were to the hiking trails of Pictured Rocks. Overall, we had an amazing time and a beautiful trip!!

The host was easy to reach for assistance finding the place and getting the heat running. However, the room and bedding were in need of cleaning. The bedding smelled unpleasant, and there were spiderwebs in the bathroom. The hot water only lasted for a minute or two before it turned cold, leaving only the sink and wash cloth as a bathing option. When we arrived, the gas wall heater wasn’t working, but the host arrived within 30 minutes to fix it. The mattresses were uncomfortable, like sleeping on a futon. Bring your own fluffy pillows. The lamp bulb was burnt out, and the ceiling fan remote batteries were dead. The TV worked well, and a password for the internet was provided. The host was friendly and communicative. We didn’t mention the hot water issue because we didn’t notice it until after they left from fixing the heater. Additionally, I recommend a new or different water heating system. The hot water wasn’t sufficient for a shower, which was frustrating. The property is in average condition overall, and it looks like something new is being built on the grounds. The Bear Hideaway is not old, but certainly not brand new as the description states. I suggest updating the property description. I also recommend checking the temperature of the refrigerator, as it didn’t feel cool inside. Lastly, I recommend cleaning the outside siding where some mold is developing, repairing the peeling paint at the top of the shower, and properly bolting the sink to the wall in the bathroom.

Size and amenities were as expected. Host/property manager was very communicative and responded to all inquiries very quickly. It was cold in the property with no way to increase the temperature inside. Shower water was mostly cold which was not ideal over a rainy, cool weekend.

Upon arrival, the door was unlocked with the key on the desk, making for a very easy check-in process. The cabin was very clean. The two beds were very comfortable if you like firm mattresses. We loved them. The kitchen is minimal, with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. We brought a camping stove to make breakfast. There was a grill next to the firepit, which we used to grill some steaks on our first night, and used the firepit as well. Lots of places in the area to purchase firewood. The nearby Bear Trap restaurant / Bar is amazing. Great breakfast, lunch and dinner in a great atmosphere. You can buy firewood there for 1 a piece out of a trailer. The WiFi at the cabin worked great, until we had bad weather on our final day. It didn’t work at all while it was raining and you kinda rely on WiFi there with very poor cell coverage. Overall, I would definitely stay here again, when visiting the Pictured Rocks area.

Overall it’s a nice place to stay in proximity to pictured rocks, hiking, and Munising. I’m not one to complain so I didn’t reach out but the cabin has a smell of either garbage or maybe a dead animal somewhere. After spending a day in the fresh air, walking into the cabin almost took your breath away-the smell was very bad. I would recommend the place if they can get the smell taken care of.

This was very conveniently located and clean. However it had a bad odor and the kitchen was very sparsely furnished…only a microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot and 2 mugs. It was fine for our needs as we spent the day in Pictured Rocks or the town of Munising and just needed a place to shower and sleep.

Great location for snowmobiling trip

This property is exactly what we were looking for for our UP snowmobile trip. A store with ethanol free gas was on site at this property. Cabin was clean and beds were comfortable. Trail access was literally across the road. Grand Marais, Seney and Paradise trails were excellent and easy to access from this property. Will book here again for next trip.

Nice place to stay

Had everything we needed. Close to where we were hiking and about 15 mins from a small town. Its nice that there is a general store right next to it. People sell firewood all along that road. Surprised how long the hot water lasted. We had to shower 4 people in a row
