Snowmobile from Cabin to Trail, Backup Generator, Plenty of Parking

Fresh snowfall and excellent winter riding conditions make Hiawatha’s Hideaway a top choice for snowmobile enthusiasts and winter adventurers. Guests can ride snowmobiles directly from the cabin to the trail system with no trailering required, making this an easy and stress-free Upper Peninsula getaway.

The property offers ample parking for trucks and trailers, along with a two-car attached garage that is ideal for working on sleds or keeping vehicles and gear protected. A backup generator provides added peace of mind and comfort during winter storms.

This cabin is also a great winter option for larger groups when booked together with nearby Maple Ridge and The Perch, located approximately 0.2 miles apart. Please ask for details and assistance with booking multiple cabins.

Hiawatha’s Hideaway is an upscale forest cabin located in the Hiawatha National Forest on FF Highway 13, surrounded by mature pine trees for privacy and quiet. The home features hickory kitchen cabinets, quartz countertops, black stainless steel appliances, a gas range and oven, all new plank flooring with no carpeting, central air conditioning, and a non-smoking interior.

Sleeping accommodations include two forest-view bedrooms on the main floor, each with a queen log-style bed, along with a full bathroom with a tub and shower combination. The large third bedroom is located on the lower level and includes one king-size bed with a memory foam mattress and one double bed. This bedroom is attached to a spacious bathroom with ceramic tile floors, a double-sink vanity, and a large walk-in shower. The entire lower level features beautiful tongue-and-groove cedar walls. The lower-level living area is perfect for kids or relaxing after a full day of outdoor adventures and includes a new large couch with chaise. Additional sleeping is available on the main floor with a queen sofa sleeper featuring a thick memory foam mattress. All bedding and towels are provided.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a large refrigerator with a water dispenser, microwave, dishwasher, and gas range and oven. A washer and dryer are available for guest use. In the evenings, enjoy cooking on the charcoal grill or relaxing around the fire pit.

Hiawatha’s Hideaway offers year-round recreation. In the spring, enjoy nearby lakes and streams for fishing and waterfalls flowing at peak levels. Summer brings biking and hiking on Bruno’s Run, located within walking distance, and Pine Martin Run nearby. Canoe the Indian River, just a half mile from the cabin, or enjoy campfires and marshmallow roasting. In the fall, Highway 13 offers some of the most scenic color views in the Upper Peninsula and is ideal for photography, hiking, and hunting. Winter is spectacular in the Hiawatha National Forest, with miles of snowmobile trails, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing through pristine forest scenery. Guests can ride directly from the cabin to the trails and even ride to the Buckhorn Restaurant.

Lake Superior and the Munising and Pictured Rocks area are located approximately 12 miles north, offering boat cruises, kayaking, waterfalls, shopping, and dining.

The property is nestled away from the road but also conveniently located to grocery, restaurants, etc. The location is ideal for visiting the many beautiful sites within a couple hours drive. The weather didn’t cooperate so we weren’t able to enjoy the fire pit or the beautiful outdoor area - hopefully next trip!

Picture-perfect place

The Hiawatha Hideaway was a hidden gem. The property was clean, well maintained, and well managed. It was a little hard to find at first because of internet issues (not the fault of the owners) but the owners did everything they could to help us navigate. Location was nice: close to Munising and Pictured Rocks, where we spent most of our time, and Hiawatha National Forest, where our (adult) kids were camping. The upper floor, though not as roomy as it appeared in the photos, was nicely refinished and modern. The basement was even more impressive, with a walk-in shower and spacious "entertainment" room for lounging. The back yard, though not completely private, felt like we were camping. Floodlights were nice for security, but made star-gazing a little tricky! The hosts were very attentive and quick to communicate with us about any issues or questions.

UP getaway

Feels secluded but isn't. 15 minutes to town (10 if you drive like me) If you like fires get your wood from the host. She left us a generous pile. Try the Baldy Shores Kayaking on the Indian River. Couple decent golf courses close by. Lake Superior & Pictured Rocks Nat'l Shoreline are also easy drives. Hiking opportunities everywhere. Hosts are great. We had a couple very minor no big deal problems we let them know about - they took care of it even though it could've waited. And yes once you're off WiFi GPS goes to sh*t.

Great house with a great locatiion

Spent a week with friends and our dogs! Even though the snow was sparse this season, we were still able to find snow on the seasonal non-plowed roads. With normal snow, the snowmobile trails would be easy to access. Hosts were great! We were welcomed with some locally made bread, jam and coffee. Nice amenities in the kitchen. We already booked for next year!
