✨🌌Peaceful riverside cabin in the UP near public beach🌊, 🥾trails & the Porkies!🌲

Welcome to your UP adventure headquarters: *Floodwood River Oar’asis*! Our tranquil little artfully curated getaway is the perfect home base for anyone visiting the UP! It is best described as a blend of outdoorsy inspired northwoods cabin nostalgia balanced with some comforts you’d find at home (picture cozy linens, comfy beds, a rainfall style shower head, the crackle of a campfire under the stars, and a warm cup of coffee/tea). Hosting is so much more to us than just renting out our cabin. We strive to help create a memorable experience for our guests! A bit about our location: perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, we are situated along the banks of the Floodwood River, which, if you bring along your kayak, you can paddle just a quick jaunt downstream right up to Lake Superior. Or, during peak snow season, bring your sleds and ride (safely) along the shoulder of the highway to the trailhead just 3mi down the road! If conditions are just right, you may even fall asleep to the sound of the waves of the big lake, or stay up late and catch a glimpse of the breathtaking dance of the northern lights! The cabin sits on serene 32 acres of private wooded property so you are welcome to explore, snowshoe (provided for guests in winter) and relax to your hearts content. We are located just a few miles from town, where you’ll find a selection of shops, groceries, gas as well as options for dining out (we reccommend The Squeeze!). We are also approx 20 miles away from Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park including Lake of the Clouds, all levels of hiking trails, waterfalls, beaches, cc and downhill skiing and more! There are plenty of nearby snowmobile, atv and hiking trails/UP adventure hotspots (Bond Falls, Agate Falls, etc. or take the ferry to Isle Royale) within an hour or so radius of the cabin; the possibilities are endless no matter what season you visit! Interior cabin amenities include: the main floor is wheelchair accessible, has a covered porch with spacious entryway, full bath with tile shower, petite yet well equipped kitchen and wet bar as well as a dining and living area. There are two queen beds, one on the main floor and one up in the loft, sleeping a total of 4 people. Upstairs, opposite the sleeping area, you’ll find a desk for creatives and a cozy reading nook. We have internet service for you to work remotely, but also encourage you to disconnect and take time to enjoy a hobby of yours or explore the outdoors! Speaking of outdoor space: Please be respectful our occasional animal visitors, including deer, hummingbirds, river beavers, and more! We have a firepit with chairs as well as a trail down to the river, and Lake Superior beach access is just a few miles up the road. We also offer a very large and level gravel area with plenty of room for parking and unloading trailers for those of you who are visiting us to snowmobile or ATV/side by side on the local trails! If youre looking to rent, Hamilton’s North Coast rents sleds and atvs. We cannot wait for you to join us @floodwoodriveroarasis on your next trip to Upper Michigan!
**We fully respect your privacy during your stay, but we do stop by occasionally to water the outdoor plants, plow snow and take the garbage out for collection. Thank you for understanding!**

BEST VRBO stay ever!!!

Heidi went above and beyond to make out stay feel warm and inviting. She even made us a little treat. The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of 3. She has literally thought of everything you could possibly need! We were not far from the snowmobile trail, from the front doordoor.

Truly a Great Place to Stay!

This cabin is awesome! Its more spacious than the pictures show and it has a great location close to the lake, the porkies and restaurants. The hosts, Heidi and Gary, they are the most welcoming and thoughtful hosts you could ever ask for. If you're considering booking this cabin do it, you won't regret it!

A great home base when exploring the Upper Peninnsula

Lots of attention to detail with amenities. We were out all day every day but a sweet place to come back to. Cooking a bit of a challenge in tiny kitchen but as long as you keep up with the dishes the dearth of counter space merely quaint! Really comfortable bed.

Adorable secluded Cabin

We really enjoyed our stay - wished we would have booked an extra day or two! Perfect location for hikes around the Porkies Mountain and just exploring. Gary & Heidi were great - making sure we were comfortable & taken care of! Even left us some Blueberry Crepe & Wine upon our arrival - delicious snack & arrival bonus! We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area!

Very Clean and Plenty of Amenities

Very nice cottage with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The decor makes you feel like you are out in the middle of the country. Must post a disclaimer for snowmobilers: The nearest trail is 3.5 miles away. Only way to get there is by ditch riding (which is legal). However, being unfamiliar with the area, having to cross multiple driveways and a couple bridges, we did not want to chance it with rental sleds. Plus, our rental place was only 10 miles away. Would not stop us from staying there again, just wanted to advise for those wondering in the future.

Amazing little getaway. Heidi is one of the most thoughtful and accommodating hosts we've dealt with through VRBO ever! The pictures on the sight do not do the cabin justice. It is super cozy-cool, and we found the design/decor to be quite enjoyable.

Floodwood was our oasis!

Heidi and Gary couldn't do any better than they've done to set up and share this adorable cabin! This really has been the best stay we've ever had as a family. Our son loved his own bedroom and we loved the upstairs oasis for ours. Every little detail has been put into both decorating and stocking this perfect vacation home! We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the hummingbirds in the morning and having dinner around the firepit at night. The access to the public beach (2mi away) and the Porkies (10 min away) were perfect as well!
