About this property
Welcome to 'The Log Cab-Inn' - Where Great Memories Are Made
We are a destination spot for snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing, four-wheeling, hiking, biking, and year-round vacations. This evergreen retreat is a new (2007) handcrafted log cabin, with three floors and three wrap around outside decks. There's a large mud room with in floor heat to dry out all your outdoor gear. The Cabin is located on 15 acres, with plenty of parking room. It backs up to an all purpose trail (North Freda, Trail #121-ATV/snowmobile trail.)
Were only 5 miles outside of Houghton MI, off of a blacktop road, but this is where the blacktop ends. There are only woods & rivers for eight miles until you reach Lake Superior. This setting will let you enjoy the outdoors right out of your door.
Call or e-mail for more details or visit our website. From there you can check out what our area has to offer. The National Weather Channel rates the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as No. 6 in its top-10 list of Winter Family Get-ways.

The house is amazing!!! Beautifully decorated log cabin with sauna and a great view. We were up for graduation and were very grateful that the driveway was plowed several time. Will definitely be back. Very relaxing and would be a great place to retire!!

My family had a wonderful stay. The cabin is cozy and charming.
Cabin was clean and cozy, property was gorgeous and the whole family was blown away by the stars and just enjoying the silence and sounds of nature. Definitely will be back when we visit the penninsula again. A around, highly recommend!
Property was perfect for a family getaway with the pups! Very private and has everything that you need. Close enough to town to be able to run to the store but also very quiet. Would love to go back again someday.
Great place for the 5 of us. Nice big driveway for trailers and right on a trail. Place was warm and cozy after a day of riding and a nice lower level for all of our gear.our gear
My family enjoyed our stay a great deal. The property is beautiful and also located close to Houghton for shopping. The cabin had plenty of space for my family, and we had a blast using the fire pit and sauna, and watching for deer nearby. Thank you!
Wonderful comfortable cabin right on the snowmobile trail. Trail was open with easy access to trail 3. Plenty of parking for 4-5 trucks and trailers. Full sized kitchen, nice fireplace, WiFi and direct TV. Highly recommend!!!
A great location to visit our son who lives in Hancock. Easy to get to Walmart for shopping. Can walk on nearby trails close to cabin and feel totally lost in nature. Beautiful surroundings. Love bringing our little dog too.

Such a lovely property, well laid out, clean, comfortable. Thank you so much.
Cabin was as advertised. We had a great time there. Found plenty of things to do at the cabin and around the cabin. Smooth check in and check out with the owner. If we come back to the area we will definitely stay here again.
Love this property. Our second stay and we already have the third booked. Very private and quiet. Not too far from town The sauna is a huge bonus. We had everything we needed, and communication with the host was excellent.
Felt right at home, it was easy to find, there’s plenty of privacy, the place was comfortable and accommodating. It was close to town without actually being in town. I think it was a fantastic option.
We stayed in mid May, 2024, guests were myself, my wife, and our dog. This cabin was fantastic for our trip to the Keweenaw peninsula. It feels very private, you have tons of space, the property is gorgeous, and it's an easy drive into town for meals in the evening or supplies. The sauna was a particular treat! We really enjoyed staying here and would absolutely stay again if we're ever back in the area!
Very comfortable cabin secluded in the woods yet close to town. Everything is as advertised. Awesome wrap around deck and gas grill made the evenings nice. Great communication with Gary. Would love to come back again! Thanks Gary!
We regularly visit Houghton area because our daughter was attending Michigan Tech. We love the privacy of the property, yet it is close to everything. Sauna is a huge plus. We love the fact that we can bring our four legged family member. Hosts are excellent and respond quickly to any questions.
