âšđPeaceful riverside cabin in the UP near public beachđ, đ„Ÿtrails & the Porkies!đČ
Welcome to your UP adventure headquarters: *Floodwood River Oarâasis*! Attention hikers! Spring in the yoop is a great time to visit- top tier snow melt infused waterfalls & no bugs buzzing around as you meander the endless trails! Our tranquil little artfully curated getaway is the perfect home base for anyone visiting the UP! Our vibes are a blend of outdoorsy inspired northwoods nostalgia balanced with some comforts youâd 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, and we are a few miles from the public beach for Lake Superior access. During peak snow season, bring your sleds and ride (safely) along the shoulder of the highway or trailer them just a 3mi down the road to the trailhead. 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 youâll 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, youâll 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. There is 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, Hamiltonâs 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!**
What a great place, we just loved it! The cabin was clean, quiet, organized and welcoming. Enjoyed a day snowboarding and the next snowshoeing. Thank you Heidi :)
If youâre looking for a cozy, comfortable, relaxing getaway, this is the place for you. From the start Heidi and Gary were incredibly helpful and welcoming and made us feel right at home. Heidi welcomed us with the best banana bread Iâve ever had and Gary ensured we could brave the snow by clearing the parking lot for us. It was the perfect getaway. I highly recommend staying w them, we will absolutely be returning in the future :)
What a wonderful cabin, with an exceptional attention to details for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect for hiking, rock hunting and site seeing! The hosts were very accommodating and check-in was a breeze! Would definitely consider another stay at this location!
Wonderful cabin on a very private lot. This cabin is exactly as advertised. The host, Heidi, was very friendly, check in was easy, and she made us a delicious rhubarb cake. Highly recommend staying here.
Great location - cabin was very clean and well supplied with everything you could have forgotten. Wildlife with plants and hummingbirds was awesome. Easy access to highway. Close to porcupine mountains. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend this cabin and host.
This cozy little cabin was the perfect place for our family of 4 to stay. The location was right in between everything we wanted to visit. It had everything we needed and could want in a house. The hosts were amazing.
Great location for visiting the Porkies while still being close to groceries and restaurants. The cabin property was nice and private with spacious grounds surrounded by trees and a great fire pit. The interior had everything we could possibly need including spices, coffee, and toiletries in case we forgot anything. This was, by far, the best stocked rental weâve ever stayed at. Beyond that, it was just a fantastic cabin to relax after long hikes and wake up to the next day of hiking.
Thank you LucasâŠalways nice to hear that our cabin is a place that is relaxing after exploring the Porcupine Mountains State Park.Hope you will visit again in the future.
The cabin is perfect and in a great location to explore. The hosts have included lots of little extras to ensure you have everything you need. Thankfully we didn't forget anything, but if we had I'm sure it was there. The cinnamon strudel banana bread was delicious!
The sweetest, coziest little Vrbo in a great location on the south shores of Superior. The hosts clearly care about their guests experience and are attentive to details, provide all the comforts and even some extra little treats! We felt immediately at home and were thrilled at how easy we could get to the lake in the clouds and agate beach, as well as the local beach right down the road! So worth it! Would go back in a heartbeat.
Super cute cabin and property on the river. Location close to the Porcupine Mountains and water falls. Cabin was clean and well stocked with amenities!
Hello and đ So happy you enjoyed your stay with us. I know you and Chris were hoping to get a jump on a vacation with cooler temps and no bugs. Maybe another vacation in the fallđ
This cabin was the perfect retreat. A really well-stocked kitchen made cooking & clean-up a breeze. The rain-head shower was a pleasant surprise. The overall peaceful nature of the location really made it feel like a retreat with just us and the stars! I loved the porch, and all the little touches with twinkle lights on the porch, and in the cabin. Brightens the space in a soft & relaxing way. The woodwork was really lovely. The garden surrounding the cabin was just the right size. We loved it and highly recommend it!
Thank you Dan and Margaret â€ïžthe cabin an sharing it has become a passion for meâŠThrough the years I have wonderful memories of also staring up at the stars and much more.
We enjoyed our stay at the Oar-asis! The location was ideal for us, with doing activities in the Porkies and in Ontonagon, and we were surprised by how many amenities were available! The hosts thought of everything that is needed for a great stay, plus the complimentary coffee, breads and cookies were delicious! One of the better VRBOs we stayed at with a very nicely stocked kitchen, charcoal for the grill, etc. The hummingbirds at the feeder were a delight to watch, and we even saw a deer wander along the yard perimeter to enjoy the apple trees one of the evenings!
Our Spring Break trip was great. Heidi was great at communicating, had Swedish crepes in the fridge when we arrived and alerted us of a good night to see the Northern Lights. We hiked the Porkies on three of our days and did road trips to Houghton and Calumet the other two days.
Originally from WI, the UP has always been a special place for me to come up and enjoy! Started with a small cabin on the Presque Isle river in Tula, to purchasing and redoing this cabin on the Floodwood river, and finally a permanent move to the UP in 2001! We know the area well and are happy to provide tips and recommendations if you need them.
We love to host and make our guests feel welcomed! Our property is incredibly private and abundant with wildlife. We are ever so grateful that we have the opportunity to share it with you. The river being on the property is what drew us here, and we are lucky to observe all the animals that call this area home.đŠđŠđŠ«đžđđżïž
We also provide a few musical instruments, some yoga equipment, drawing and writing supplies, games, books, and maps for you to use! Canât wait to have you join us and see how the oarâasis lives up to its name.
