Silver Mountain Cabins #3 (King Bed, sleeps 5)

A Cozy Forest Retreat for Families, Friends & Outdoor Enthusiasts

Create lasting memories at this peaceful and family-friendly getaway in the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Nestled within the Ottawa National Forest and near the scenic Keweenaw Peninsula, Silver Mountain Cabins offer a perfect escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Just 28 miles from Michigan Tech and 10 miles from Lake Superior, you’ll be close to hiking, fishing, snowmobiling, rockhounding, and some of the region’s premier hunting grounds. We're located just down the road from Silver Mountain and the breathtaking Sturgeon River Falls.

Each stay includes a thoughtfully curated welcome book with recommendations for local hiking trails, outdoor adventures, and must-see attractions to help you make the most of your visit.

Your Private Cabin Experience

This cozy, standalone cabin is fully yours to enjoy. The main level features one bathroom and a bedroom with two twin beds, while the loft offers a spacious king bed and an additional twin — comfortably sleeping up to five guests.

We’ve recently upgraded all mattresses and bedding to ensure a restful and refreshing night’s sleep. The dining area seats four to six, and the living space comfortably accommodates three. Step outside the back door to your own private fire pit, perfect for cozy evenings under the stars.

Space to Roam & Room to Relax

Set on 22 acres of serene woodlands, the cabin is part of a larger property that includes two other guest cabins and one private cabin. Guests are invited to explore the entire property, which backs up to the Ottawa National Forest and includes:

• A shared grill and picnic area



• A peaceful orchard and garden



• Private trails through the forest and around the grounds

There’s plenty of room to stretch out, unwind, and take in the natural beauty all around you.

Remote Work Ready — With Nature at Your Door

While cell service in the area may be limited, each cabin is equipped with dedicated fiber-optic internet, its own private router, and secure WiFi — perfect for remote work, video calls, or streaming your favorite shows on the two Roku TVs provided. You’ll also find a variety of books and games for relaxing downtime.

Embrace the Outdoors — Bugs and All

Nature lovers will appreciate the tranquil surroundings and spectacular night skies—some of the clearest star views in the region. Do keep in mind that we are truly immersed in nature, so occasional encounters with mosquitoes, flies, and even ladybugs are part of the experience. We regularly treat the cabins and offer additional bug spray or mid-stay service if needed to ensure your comfort.

We also have free-range chickens on the property, and when available, we love providing guests with fresh eggs. Want to say hello to the chickens? Just ask — we’re happy to introduce you!

House Rules

No smoking or vaping within the cabin or within 20 feet of any cabin.
