"It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that it makes life worth living." David AttenboroughWe've been about a greener lifestyle for decades--before green was "popular," before building tiny houses was the "trend," and before living a freer life off-the-grid was "a thing". Our mission is to provide an environmentally sustainable getaway where you will encounter off-the-grid living first hand for that unique experience. In the beautiful backdrop of the Keweenaw Peninsula of Upper Michigan (U.P.), we've built a sustainable, off-grid retreat where you can design your own personal EcoXtreme adventure. Enjoy this back-country timber- frame haven among a forest of birch and pine, next to the magical flow of the Montreal River, and surrounded by a cornucopia of recreational offerings. Extreme skiing, mountain biking, kayaking, sailing, surfing, and scuba are just a few of the exploits available.

Bear Lake Meets da Yellow Dog

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, 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 18 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 Drury'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!

Ghost House Farm is a small vegetable farm in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A busy hive of activity—especially on harvest days—we also cherish quiet moments, beautiful flowers, and the slower pace of country life.

My spouse, friends, and I had such a fantastic and relaxing getaway here on the Keweenaw. The cabin and sauna have so much character and charm, and there’s so much peace to be found among the trees and down the short trail to the river. Lots of fun places to explore and beautiful sights to see within a short drive as well. Super grateful for our time and to have a setting like this shared with us!

4 nights at Bear Lake Meets da Yellow Dog
The land is beautiful and the cabin was very cozy. The rustic setup was nice for enjoying the silence and bird songs. Right next to two bodies of water, the Yellow Dog River great for wading and the hosts provide kayaks and a canoe on Bear Lake for free! Amenities (propane, firewood) reasonably priced. Great location with hiking opportunities around, our favorites were Yellow Dog Falls and Thomas Rock. Big bay is closeby town with a great ice cream parlor and an extensive beach on Lake Superior with views of the cliffs to the west. The host is very kind and respectful and has a lot of knowledge about the land and nearby destinations. Access road is driveable for most cars, no offroad/4x4 needed. Would absolutely recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing stay in the woods.

Susan was very helpful and kind. The Riverbend cabin was lovely with counter space to help food prep. Close to the pit toilet. The river is refreshing and the property is peaceful. I loved hearing the birds chirp all day.

I had a wonderful time at Linda and Darryl’s cabin. The trek to the cabin was a lovely snowshoe through the woods, and the cabin itself is gorgeous and so thoughtfully equipped. Directions are clear for both navigating and operating equipment inside the cabin, and the hosts were responsive and helped with a smooth check in. A perfect balance of adventure and creature comforts.

A beautiful adventure! After a mile snowshoe in, you arrive at the coziest cabin curated with thoughtfulness and character in every corner. You truly are out in the wilderness and the hosts were so helpful in setting us up for success. So convenient if you’re skiing at Boho!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in December and this was the perfect spot to get away and find stillness within all the excitement 🥲 we love to camp and backpack but being pregnant this was the perfect in between of comfort and rustic backcountry vibes! We loved the sense of adventure and truly felt at home in this space. It was really fun to learn about the off grid / sustainable practices that make this place unique and fun to explore. This off grid cabin/land had such nourishing ambiance and character there was always something unique to notice within all the tiny details Linda and Darryl put into it or from others that were left behind. We enjoying slow mornings reading journal entries from past visits over slow brewed coffee, walking the land, fishing in the river and playing games over a home cooked meal! The cabin was located perfectly on the peninsula we were able to explore copper harbor and close enough to houghton hancock if we needed anything. This is definitely a trip we will always remember and can’t wait to make it back with our little guy sooner than later! Many continued blessings to everyone who gets to experience this GEM in Gods Land 🌲
