Bear Tree Homestead is nestled among the cliffs and ravines which drains the south face of Hogback Mountain located in Marquette Township Michigan. Hogback Mountain is one of the larger rock formations in the Huron Range, a surprisingly rugged, and diverse region of low mountains carved by glaciers. Each cabin is hand-built of log and stone using traditional Scandinavian building tools and techniques. Our buildings, gardens, and pastures are integrated into the forested landscape and are not your typical homestead. One of the most wonderful things we have to offer is the accessibility to thousands of protected acres surrounding us and the trails that bisect them. We are located 8 miles from downtown Marquette in Michigan's Upper Peninsula where there are many great restaurants, shops, and brewpubs. However, once you drive into Bear Tree Homestead and settle in you will not want to leave.

What an absolutely amazing place to end or summer camping season. We are typically tent campers and this was a wonderful treat! The only downside is there is no fishing in the pond. My son is an fishing addict so it was torture for him not to be able to. Made worse when he found out it was stocked with trout! Just with that has been stated up front is all.

Orchard Cabin
Rustic and Convienient
Our stay at Bear Tree Homestead in the Orchard Cabin was a memorable time for our family and friends. We've been taking regular trips to the UP and the Marquette area for the last decade or so. After enjoying our time in many campgrounds, DNR cabins, and Airbnb's, the Orchard Cabin at Bear Tree Homestead is now the flagship for us. The proximity to Hogback was perfect for a hike with our 4-6 year-olds and somewhat-out-of-shape-nearly-40-year-olds (yours truly). We all loved the dogs, wandering ram and ducks. Be sure to take a refreshing dip/bath in the pond! We are looking forward to our next trip to the homestead!

The Pond Cabin
The Pond Cabin stay was magical. We felt like we stepped into a fairy tale. Jill and Nick built and decorated the log cabin overlooking a beautiful pond and filled it with so many wonderful details in the furnishings. The kerosene lamps inside the cabin create a cozy atmosphere, and our kids loved sleeping in the loft. We were greeted by ducks and chipmunks. Our family of six climbed the nearby Hogback Mountain, and we highly recommend the hike. Incredible view! We would love to stay here again when we return to the UP!

The cabin was beautiful and exceeded our expectations! All the little touches like oil lamps, games and books, delicious cookies and provided bedding made it special . Jill was very accommodating when we arrived after dark and got lost by coming to find us and lead us to the property. I loved reading the guest book stories as well. Wish we could have stayed longer but already planning a visit for next summer!
