Stories from the community

1 night at Camp Therapy

Life is a series of moments—of memories we make. This place is a great place to start! The views are astounding, the bed is incredibly comfortable, and the decor and amenities were perfect. From roasting marshmallows outside while overlooking the lake, to starting a fire in the wood-burning stove and enjoying the stars from bed—it doesn’t get any better! The host made everything super easy and incredibly fun. Whether you’re solo or adventuring with others, the location can’t be beat.

1 night at Heritage Hills

The space is amazing! I had 7 in my group and the there was more than enough space. Both hosts were very polite even when we misunderstood the directions, they were understanding and friendly.

Weekend Trip to Bear Tree Homestead

It was the coziest and homely cabin ever. Loved their whole farm and surrounding areas! Will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Camp Therapy

This place is such a unique gem! The dome was clean, beautiful and way more than we were expecting. Lauren and Caden’s attention to detail was above and beyond. We packed for full camping, not knowing what we needed, but upon arriving we quickly realized we overpacked. Water for dishes and drinking, wood for both the fires, great selection of tea/coffee, paper towels, pot and cast iron pan etc., were all thoughtfully provided. The space is stunning, cozy and peaceful, with intentional accents of crystals and healing-vibe decorations. They made communication very accessible and recommended their favorite waterfalls and rock hunting beaches. The view from the dome/property are breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights one evening. To watch them from bed is a truly unforgettable experience. We 10/10 recommend this romantic destination and we will be back. Thinking the fall colors would be epic here. Thank you Lauren and Caden!!

Weekend Trip to Bear Tree Homestead

This is my third time returning and I fall in love with this space everytime!

3 nights at Private Wooded Camping on the Lake

We are return campers here! This is our favorite spot. Very private and gorgeous area, the private beach and cheap kayak rentals are always a plus and make for a fun time! The host is very helpful and responsive, there’s always been firewood there everytime as well. There is a port a potty there that is stocked and has always been pretty clean when weve been there (for a porta potty). Great place to come with friends to have a fun camping trip instead of having to get multiple campsites in a public campground where you can hear/see your neighbor campers the whole time. Thank you for another great camping trip in the books!

Weekend Trip to Superior Times Resort & Campground

It was a great environment with a beautiful view of the lake. The tent sites were nice! Bathrooms and showers very clean! Would come again!

2 nights at Camp Therapy

One of the best spots and hosts ever in my travels! I spent two nights here. Lauren was friendly, helpful and generous with her time. The dome was a once in a lifetime experience. Unplugged solitude was just what I was in need of.

2 nights at Northern Oasis Camping

Hosts were friendly and helpful. I could see this area being great for a small family reunion or youth retreat with tents scattered around the area and the fire pit I'm the center.

Weekend Trip to Bear Tree Homestead

We stayed at the orchard cabin. Jill and Nick's dogs were very welcoming even though we didn't get in until 1030 at night. We were able to pull out the futon to a bed so we didn't have to figure out a way to put our disabled child up the ladder to the loft area. The pump takes a bit of priming, but works really well once you have the pressure up.

Weekend Trip to Bear Lake Meets da Yellow Dog

It is a very charming cabin with an incredible view of the lake thru the trees. It was so relaxing and Susan took care of us and in fact provided a small heater for the chill. She was very accurate in describing the set-up and my wife gave the outhouse 4 stars, different world than what you think. We took our dog and she had a a lot to satisfy her curiosity. The cabin is rustic so think camping inside a sturdy shelter and pack accordingly. I brought a folding wagon, but susan says she has one so just ask. The area was so nice with access to all we wanted, hiking, dog sniffing, stuff in marquette. I hesitate leaving such a glowing review because I feel like I giving away a good secret. Not for everybody, but it certainly was for us.

Weekend Trip to Wilderness Haven near Marquette Mi

Judy is the best. We had car issues while on the road during our drive up and had to scramble last minute to get back home. We contacted Judy and she was empathetic to the situatrion and was extremely accomodating in meeting us a day later to grant access to the site. Once we finally arrived, she could not have been a more hospitable hostess. This site is both close to civilization in that you don;t feel totally stranded, but also offers total privacy once in the campground. The bugs were out in force, but that comes with the territory (literally). This place is about 40 minutes to Pictured Rocks, and has instantly become our go-to spot for camping in the UP. We had a great Memorial Day Weekend up North, and look forward to visiting again at this same site.

Weekend Trip to Superior Times Resort & Campground

Great place! Lots of activities to do for adults and kids! Very welcoming to you and your pets! Even have a store with anything you may have forgot to pack. 10/10 would go again!

Weekend Trip to Possum Creek Campground

Beautiful property with site right next to the creek. Shawn was helpful and courteous! Can’t wait to come back. Be prepared for the hike in and the hill down!

2 nights at Heritage Hills

Really pleasant. Very large camping sites each with a picnic table and fire pit. Much to see and do in the area. The horses and dogs at the property were extra bonus for animal lovers. Our dogs were welcomed as well. You don't get sites this nice in a traditional campground

Weekend Trip to Bear Tree Homestead

We ended up staying in the Orchard Cabin and it was absolutely beautiful. Like seriously the cabin itself was incredible! So cozy and cute. Unfortunately we didn't spend much time in it because in our 3 days, we were out! We went up to Hogsback Mountain and walked the Irone Ore trail. All the views are incredible and easily accessed through Jill's land. It was amazing, an experience I won't ever forget. Honorable mention to Iris, Buttercup, and especially Chauncey (the dogs) who made a point to visit us each morning. They were very friendly and so adorable, they were the cherry on top of our trip!

1 night at Northern Oasis Camping

Such a great set up! Hosts have put a lot of time and effort into creating a park-like atmosphere. We came in a little late, left early, and it was raining (lol) but we enjoyed our experience.

Weekend Trip to Bear Tree Homestead

This place is amazing and was exactly what we needed. We were in the Orchard Cabin and it was perfect. No TV, no Wifi, just nature and simple means on a beautiful family homestead. The hosts are wonderful and let you roam the property but also give you privacy. We had fun just being still, listening to radio shows and the birds and frogs, sitting by the pond, cooking in the old woodstove and pumping our own water from the kitchen hand pump. It was so good to just disconnect in order to reconnect. And to be in a place where they treasure the land and how they live on/with it was really special. We would definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to Bear Tree Homestead

We loved staying at the cabin! The wood fireplace kept us cozy warm. It was so kind of the hosts to get it going before we arrived! We highly recommend the cabins!

Weekend Trip to Hemlock Ridge Homestead

April was beyond amazing. Her hospitality was above and beyond. I can't wait to stay with her again.

Superior Times Resort & Campground

38 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents15 acres · Au Train, MI

Hello, and welcome to Superior Times Resort and Campground! We would like to take a moment and introduce ourselves. Our names are Tom and Heather Holmstrom. We were married in 2016 and have four children as part of our blended family. We are both originally from the Upper Peninsula. Superior Times Resort and Campground was the result of us wanting to do something “outside of the box” that would allow us to raise our family and show them there is more out there than the traditional path. We also wanted showcase our love and respect for the beauty of the Upper Peninsula; the area that many refer to as “God’s Country.” In December of 2016, we mistakenly pulled into the driveway of this property. At that time, it was known as Coleman’s Paradise Resort. There was a For Sale sign marking the property. We both knew at that point our fate was sealed to become this property’s new owners. We learned that this property had been a family vacation destination for nearly 100 years. We could only imagine the special memories that had been made here over the years! We wanted to become a part of that deep history. Through the many years of the resort’s history, the owners had changed and the cabins were showing true signs of their age. We knew there was A LOT of work that simply had to be done. On a wing and prayer, we somehow made this great resort ours. In April of 2017, we opened what we named Superior Times Resort and Campground. We pulled up or sleeves and went to work! Thank you for choosing us and allowing us to be part of the memories that you create here. We know that you work hard for your own money, as we do. Knowing that you chose our resort to support, means a lot to our Superior Times and Resort family team. We truly appreciate your loyalty and give special thanks to our returning customers. There is nothing more rewarding to us than a return visit! It means to us that we have exceeded your expectations. Thank you for considering us for your next vacation! Tom and Heather Holmstrom

Bear Tree Homestead

3 sites · Lodging50 acres · Trowbridge Park, MI

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. The cabins have access to the pond, use of the canoe, a private fire pit, picnic table, charcoal grill and privy. Inside the cabins is a functional kitchen with dishes, flatware, pots and pans, so you can prepare meals onsite. Cabins also have table and chairs as well soft chairs/sofa sitting area, bookshelves with a variety of books, board games and puzzles, and covered porch in case of rain. Our buildings, gardens, and pastures are integrated into the forested landscape and are not your typical homestead. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings, collect fresh eggs (when they are laying), lay in the hammock, listen to the sounds of nature and the barnyard or take an adventure hike, bike ride, snowshoe, or ski right out the door. 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. The property is on the North Country Trail, just over a Noquemanon Trail Network Forestville trailhead where access to year round recreation awaits. Hogback Mountain is just up the trail from the cabin with spectacular views of forest, mountains and lake superior. 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.

Hemlock Ridge Homestead

3 sites · Lodging10 acres · Marquette, MI

Welcome to the Hemlock Ridge Homestead! This custom log home built in the early 2000's was a dream of mine since I was 8 years old. Our family lives here year round and absolutely love it. These sites are on a seasonal road so travel in and out can be impeded at times due to weather or external forces, such as tree falls, wash outs, etc. This is a self sufficient homestead in the making. Our garden has progressed greatly, and our fruit tree orchards are starting to produce. The free range chickens are fun and quirky, offering farm fresh eggs. We just opened our second site, the Prairieview Chalet 2024 summer. Both sites offer great amenities. The Acorn Retreat cabin includes a hot tub, gas weber grill and other amenities. The bouchee outhouse is shared by both sites and is cleaned regularly. The new Prairieview Chalet is an exceptional adventurers haven! It has all the things you want after a day(s) out in the wilderness, with amenities like a hot shower, fully stocked kitchen, linens and more. Our property reflects our love of the land and space. We are always making improvements, such as the timber framed chicken coop. We now have a ping pong table for our guests, and still offer farm fresh eggs. Our motto is to make every place better than we found it and hope our guests will do the same. This is a zen, quiet place to heal, reflect and refill your cup of life:)

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 cabin 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!

Lost Lithuanians Camp

2 sites · Lodging160 acres · Foster City, MI

Norm's Log Cabin started out as a back 40 acre camp from the 1970's. Hunting is not Allowed on Property. Over the years we have taken time to make some improvements. We have acquire additional adjoining property and run some electricity. We have pieced together 160 contiguous acres over the years, and continue to manage the property as a family gathering location as well as doing some occasional log harvesting. This is the place to get away from it all, but still be in striking distance to several attractions. A full service restaurant in La Branch which is a short 12 minute drive SE, and a local hang out called the Red Arrow which is a 5 minute drive NW. The Cabin sits at the end of a long 1/4 mile driveway in the middle of the 160 acre plot of trees. You need to cross Anderson Creek, and drive past another hunting camp near the front entrance. This front 40 acre camp (Anderson Creek Camp) is another more rustic option then Norm's Log Cabin. The road leading to this driveway off of Highway 69 is near the village of Hardwood. Along Highway 69 is a snowmobile/ORV trail managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and can be easily reached via the gravel road to/from camp. That specific trail is designated as A, and runs the length of Highway 69 and intersects ORV trail AG which would bring you into Escanaba. There is many and frequent ORV activity on this trail, and there are many stopping points for refreshments along the way. Hardwood Impoundment Pond is the closest body of water to Norm's Log Cabin, and can be reached by car or ATV. This impoundment pond is really the back waters of a local dam in the area, and can be fished from the bank or off the bridge that goes across the area. Very easily reachable. Again this is just a place to get away from it all and take in the outdoors. We can supply some ideas of places to visit . . .
