Brand New Cozy Tiny Cabin Nestled in the Hiawatha National Forest

Welcome to Little Lake Effect.

We are so excited to share this absolute slice of heaven with you! This cabin was a ground-up build in 2022 and is a true labor of love. We believe everyone should have that true "cabin in the woods" experience; and this will provide just that and more.

Our cabin is located in the heart of the Hiawatha National Forest, just minutes away from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. There will be no shortage of things to do and see in this area. Whether your preference is to hang out right at the cabin for your vacation or set off on day adventures in Munising, Marquette, Grand Marais and more- we can assure your experience will be outstanding. Paddle around the private lake on 1 of the 2 provided kayaks, sip coffee on the porch and enjoy the view with nothing else to do but relax, enjoy a bonfire while star gazing at the biggest sky the U.P has to offer, set out right from the front door on your UTV/ATV or snowmobile and explore hundreds of trails, enjoy a color tour right where you're at in the crisp beautiful fall season and MUCH more!

While this is certainly a cabin in the woods, you will do anything but "rough it" here. We provide a fully stocked kitchen, standard kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, full bathroom, extra comfortable bed linens and towels, Wifi, smart TV, and anything you might need to have an enjoyable vacation.

I know we are bias, but I can guarantee this to be a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable- true gem of a cabin that will go above and beyond suiting your needs in having a wonderful getaway.

Come Enjoy Today!

Quick getaway

The property is as listed however I wish the listing had stated how close the neighbors are. Even after 10 miles of dirt road, to have neighbors in eyesight and easily heard it did takeaway a bit of the remote-ness I was looking for. Still overall great. The owners were very timely with their responses.
