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.

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!!

Weekend Trip to Ellens Cabin

We loved the cabin definitely a hike in the winter to get to. We pulled a sled behind us with our supplies definitely made it easier. Plenty of firewood and cooking pans and utensils so just bring your food & drinking water and you'll be golden. Peace and quiet and crisp fresh air very relaxing place to be highly recommend. Outhouse was adequate cabin has led lights from solar too worked great 👍

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".

Nice well furnished place and circle drive easy to get trailers around. Close to trail and restaurants made it a great stay for us!

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.

The cabin was beautiful, as was the location and the view from the many windows. Victoria supplied plenty of drinking water and firewood for the stove. The cabin kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and cookware I needed to make good use of the propane range and oven. Directions to the cabin were crystal clear. We would happily stay again.

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

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

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.

Bear Lake Meets da Yellow Dog

3 sites · Lodging13 acres · Marquette, MI

Your host property is 13 acres between the Yellow Dog River, and Bear Lake, with frontage on both. The Yellow Dog River is a legendary trout stream, and many artists have found that the river satisfies their need for the wild. There are two cabin sites available, One overlooking Bear Lake with sunset views, and the other a cabing that was moved to the property in 1999 to preserve it. Both sites share amenities such as the outhouse, communal fire pit and water, but the cabins are not in close proximity so everyone has their privacy. They are both rustic cabins having no running water, or electricity. A futon with mattress cover is provided in each cabin along with a table and chairs. See the individual site descriptions for more details. We are 20 miles (app) north of Marquette, which is my home town. It is a destination for bikers, skiiers, and outdoor rec folk! There are so many things to see and do in Marquette, so make sure to plan enough time to check out the town! Also, just six miles to our north is historic Big Bay. A lumber town back in the day, it is full of history. Check out the Thunder Bay Inn, where parts of Anatomy of a Murder, starring Jimmy Stewart and Lee Remick were filmed. Don't miss going to the Lumberjack to see where the actual murder took place, either! You will find good eats and perhaps even some live music at either establishment. You'll also find everything you need in the way of groceries, and gas at Cram's General Store, where there's also a laundromat. Burns landing just north of the marina has the historic Burns family home renovated in a park setting, and a public beach access to mighty Lake Superior. This park has picnic tables and grills, and even a handicap accessible outhouse and trail to the lake. Yellow Dog falls is a short drive on Co. Road 510, and on the way be sure to climb Thomas Rock overlook. There are new bike trails if you're into that as well! Stay awhile. You'll be glad you did! We strive to offer peace and serenity to our guests, and love to share these woods with those needing tranquility and respite from a busy world. In this sensitive environmental area, we have only two sites to keep traffic down, enhance our visitors experience, and to protect the wildlife here. Unplug with us, eh!
