2 nights at EcoXtreme Adventure Destination

We loved the beautiful hike in! The cabin had everything we needed and then some. Very comfortable! The sauna was lovely. Our kids ages 6 and 9 had so much fun! All instructions to get to the cabin and get settled were easy to follow.

We had such a beautiful stay here at the Copper Cabin. The snowshoe in was quite the trek with the recent snow, but having sleds and snowshoes available to use at basecamp were super helpful! Darryl and Linda were gracious hosts all throughout with great communication on how to access everything. Proximity to Mt. Bohemia was perfect. Went skiing at the end of the road in Copper Harbor and spent a lot of 'winter daydream' down-time watching snow fall at the cabin too. Will be back.

2 nights at EcoXtreme Adventure Destination

This was a new winter adventure for my life long friend and skiing partner and me! There was ALOT of snow!!! It was like snow shoeing into Narnia! We were pleasantly surprised that the cabin was warm when we got there! The cabin was amazing, just as it looks in the pictures! We weren’t able to get the fire going in the sauna as we were unable to split the wood into small enough pieces. And we had some difficulty with the fire the first night due to the wood being wet, but once it got burning hot enough it was good and toasty! Overall it was a great winter adventure! We felt pretty accomplished that we were able to “Rough it” in the winter! We even had the pleasure of meeting Linda at Mt. Bohemia that week! The snow and skiing was Epic! Thank you Linda and Darryl for sharing this beautiful place!

This is our 4th winter stay at the Eco-Extreme Cabin. Amazing snow this year in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Had some great XC skiiing and snowshoeing. A well-trod path through the snow to the cabin & easily accessed sleds to bring our food & gear in. Wood stove kept us cozy in the cabin and nice & warm in the loft at night (0 degrees outside, toasty in the loft). Everything was beautiful & peaceful. In spite of all of the snow (24" + on the ground when we arrived, another 10"+ fell during our stay), getting in & out & around is no problem. Roads & area where our car was parked were plowed repeatedly. Took in the spa at Mt Bohemia, & the sauna at Takka Superior on Lake Superior near Eagle Harbor. Always love to stop in at Keweenaw Coffee Works in Calumet. Can't wait for the next visit!!

Amazing cabin in the most beautiful location. The hike in to the cabin is gorgeous and makes the experience even more fun. We loved getting away to this amazing place, and we will be back!

This cabin is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. What a wilderness gem this place is! Once there, I didn't want to leave and go back to "normal life".

9 nights at EcoXtreme Adventure Destination

My dog and I just came away from a 10-day stay at Linda and Darryl's Copper Cabin during a very snowy January. It was really quite special. You're tucked deep into the woods surrounded by evergreens and birches, about a mile from the road. It's off-grid, but thoughtfully designed--including an indoor composting toilet, which saved me from having to go outside in the middle of the night. Solar panels powered the lights and allowed me to charge my laptop. There's also a wood-burning fireplace and propane heater for staving off the cold, and a cozy upstairs sleeping loft with three double beds (linens provided), which was plenty warm. And while there's no shower, there is a sauna on the property with a cold tub (and a place to shower about 10 minutes down the road by car). My dog and I did have to mush a mile through the snow (up to my knees) from where we parked the car, but Linda and Darryl provide you with snowshoes and sleds for transporting your gear. While I wasn't always able to get cell service (T-mobile), if I really needed to communicate, I could pick up a bar or two of service not far from the cabin or use satellite. All in all, a special place with a built-in spirit of adventure.

This cabin is a fantastic getaway for anyone from solo trippers, to partners , to families. Linda and Darryl are amazing hosts that are incredibly accommodating. Linda met us after a long car travel during a snowy evening and not only provided use with everything we would need for the journey to the cabin but even accompanied us to the cabin to make sure we got settled in and to answer any questions we might have had. The cabin itself is two levels with the sleeping loft able to give 6 people space to sleep comfortably. The lower half of the cabin is delight of "older" aesthetics and necessities with some very welcome recent additions especially considering the cabin is off grid. Traveling over the Christmas holiday the vintage woodstove is a godsend in keeping the cabin warm and cozy. The vistas around the cabin and during the hike in are absolutely surreal at times and in the dead of night all you hear in the wind in the trees and nothing else. We're planning on coming again during the warmer months and viewing all of this in the summer landscapes. Please make the trip if you want and I can confidently say you won't be disappointed. Thank you again Linda and Darryl for sharing such a gem with the rest of us lucky enough to come see it, and take care from M. A. & PG.

Weekend Trip to EcoXtreme Adventure Destination

Such a neat spot for adventurous people. This was our second time, and we will be back.

Weekend Trip to EcoXtreme Adventure Destination

The copper cabin over thanksgiving was the Winter Wonderland experience that felt like a movie! The walk from the car wasnt bad at all and beautiful and quiet- our dog LOVED running around while we pulled the sleds and the cabin itself is as quaint as can be- thoughtful touches and genuine effort from Linda and Darryl make you feel right at home. We were toasty and warm and the solar panels held up great with power even half covered in snow since it was dumping all day. We would love to come back again for a peaceful escape

Weekend Trip to Lake Superior Beach Perfection

Loved this spot. We were here in November and it was perfect, absolutely beautiful. The beach is very nice and there is a park about a mile down the road. The only suggestion I would make is if you don’t have 4x4 to keep your car near the road or the porta potty as the sand gets pretty soft further in. Also, regarding the sand, I was surprised that it does not stick to the bottom of your shoes and dogs feet. Even after it rained. We had almost no sand in our camper over the weekend. I would highly recommend this site!

Every year, my buddy and I schedule a "man week". Think of it as a testosterone-fueled vacation without the sunscreen commercials. Last year, we hauled in halibut on a charter out of Homer, AK, and this year, we swapped fish for deer during opening season in Michigan's UP. This cozy little cabin became our rugged HQ for five days. It’s the kind of place where the fireplace not only heats the room but your soul, and we enjoyed every minute of it. Rustic? Sure. Off-grid? Definitely. Gritty? Oh yeah. Exactly the kind of no-frills, woodsman vibe we were craving for this year’s adventure.

Lake Superior Beach Perfection

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Lake Linden, MI

What more do you need than a private camping site and your 125' of your own pristine Lake Superior beachfront access? Well, there is the need of a fire ring so we added that, too! Everything else you will to bring to enjoy the million dollar views. Oh, and on the opposite side of the camping site is quiet slough which is great for smooth water paddling and exploring. Down the gravel road about 1/3 miles are logging roads to hike, bike and explore. OHV trails are a couple miles away but check local maps for detailed information. Intentionally being minimalists beyond a fire ring and picnic table, there is a port-a-john (of humble means) to make your stay comfortable. You will need to bring your own firewood if you desire a campfire.
