Bear Tree Homestead is nestled among the cliffs and ravines which drains the south face of Hogback Mountain into Lake Superior. 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. We have been inspired by these ancient rocks to build our homestead with materials gathered on our land. Each cabin is hand-built of log and stone using traditional Scandinavian building tools and techniques. The Pond Cabin is completely off the grid and the Orchard Cabin with electricity and handpump water. 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.

The Pond Cabin
Simply the best
I’m sure there are other offering something similar to this but I doubt there are many that are executing it to this level, if any at all. A beautiful property, and extremely awesome hosts. The pond cabin is so well built and maintained. You can feel the love of the owners all over the land. One of my highlights was having a conversation with Nick and learning about the area. Would 100% recommend.

Great way to unplug and getaway wish we would have spent more time on the property but took advantage of the hiking trails at the edge of property. Looking forward to visiting again.

Orchard Cabin
Wanting to return
The hardest part was leaving the Orchard cabin. We enjoyed every part of our time there. This time of year, we are usually looking to get a cabin to spend time with friends and enjoy the outdoors. The snowshoeing right outside the cabin was incredible. Next time, we'll probably drive to some ski trailheads nearby rather than trying to ski directly from the cabin. Although we were only visiting a few days, my communications leading up to the trip from Jill were very helpful. What stood out though is how welcoming Jill and Nick were. I mean they're the real deal. Great people, a beautiful cabin to come to, and top-notch nature outside the door. What else could you want? I am out of superlatives.
