Quiet year round lake home, swimming/fishing, near Pictured Rocks, trail access

Our home away from home is a spacious, 1700 square foot, fully furnished get away in the beautiful upper peninsula of Michigan. We are located on scenic H-58 roughly halfway between Munising and Grand Marais, and are just minutes from the Pictured Rocks National lake shore where you will find numerous hiking trails, waterfalls, and Lake Superior beaches to explore. Additionally, we are less than a mile from a network of trail systems that allow you to go in all 4 directions. Whether you're a snowmobiler, or ride side by sides/ATV's, you have endless options for exploration right from home base, with plenty of parking available for large trailers.

If you want a break from the sight seeing, enjoy an afternoon or evening sitting lakeside at the house. We offer over 300 feet of frontage along the north side of Nevins Lake, that includes a sandy beach area/fishing dock. This 276-acre lake has no public access, allowing for a quiet and peaceful experience. It's not uncommon for a whole summer day to pass without seeing any motorized watercraft, which creates opportunities to observe wildlife such as loons, eagles, and beavers in their natural environment. Nevins Lake is great for fishing/swimming, or paddling/exploring, and provides a wonderful opportunity to escape and unwind. While there's no public access, small boats on trailers can be backed down to the water and launched from our beach area (A vehicle with 4-wheel drive is recommended). We provide 4 Kayaks, a canoe, a paddle boat, and a row boat that are included with your rental as well.
In the evening, unwind around a bon-fire (firewood included!). Roast brats or smores while listening to the beautiful calls of loons ushering in a night sky that only the remote UP can offer.

The cabin itself has all the amenities that allow for a comfortable/contemporary stay in a remote location. Ideal for couples, families, or groups of friends, it comfortably sleeps 4-6 adults. The house includes a fully stocked kitchen with all the items you’ll need to prepare and serve a home cooked meal. There is reliable high speed internet, as well as Satellite TV.

A short 25-minute drive West from Nevins Lake will bring you to the amazing town of Munising; the same distance in the opposite direction will bring you to Grand Marais. Nestled between these 2 towns along H-58 are dozens of points of interest, including Lake Superior beaches, hiking trails, and waterfalls.

Here are a few resources to help plan your itinerary-

Every season has countless unique and exciting experiences to be had.
Summertime is a given, and there are plenty of reasons why. However, the best kept secrets are in the "off months" when the crowds dissipate. Many consider September/October to be the best months to visit the UP. Fall colors are unrivaled in the Hiawatha national forest areas, and paint the landscape on the elevated shores of Nevins Lake.

We look forward to being your host and helping to make your UP experience great no matter the season!

*****IMPORTANT NOTE**** Due to the remote location, trash service is not provided and guests are asked to take their trash with them. Many renters choose to dispose smaller amounts on their day trips throughout the stay. Otherwise, there are 2 good options while heading home as well. Going West towards Munising, there is Wood Island Waste Management that accepts bagged trash. If you are heading East, Seney has a gas Station/convenience store called Maters Stop & Go. They charge a couple dollars a bag to dispose in their dumpster. We apologize in advance for this inconvenience, and appreciate your understanding.
This cottage's great location gets high marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Nevins Lake. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cottage.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with kitchen, washing machine and fireplace
  • Free WiFi

Nook on Nevins lake
We very much enjoyed our stay on Nevins Lake at the Nook. Very clean! everything we could need in the kitchen and the bathroom supplied. We were very comfortable, loved the lake, though too cold to get in in November in Michigan. We hope to come back in warmer times and make use of the kayaks! They thought of everything, and were very good to work with, communicate with. We recommend staying here for that much needed quiet break!

Stayed here with our four children for a long fall weekend and had a great time. The kayaks were a hit with the kids as well as having a nightly fire. We hiked chapel falls and Rock which was the second favorite activity. Definitely would return.

Perfect fall getaway
The cabin was everything we expected. And more. It was cold and rainy and windy the week we were up there and we were able to have a fire two of the four nights. We tried to brave the weather and sit at the end of the dock on the bench, but didn’t last very long. The view, however, was spectacular! so is the view sitting in the back porch area looking out over the lake. Nick was very response and answering any questions and giving us suggestions on where to go. We loved this place so much. We’ve already booked it for next year!

Surpassed expectations in every way
We spent a week at this beautiful cabin in the most picturesque area we have ever stayed! Spacious, clean, and well appointed lodgings coupled with friendly, helpful, and easy to reach hosts made this property and vacation our favorite U.P. adventure yet. From the little touches-Lego sets and puzzles for all ages along with playground equipment outside, tthe well appointed kitchen and outdoor space, to the scenery of Neven's Lake, we were blown away for our entire stay. We loved this property and could not have had a better time. If the hosts would have us we would love to come back in the future! We are a group of novice fishermen. We had the best collective and individual fishing experiences of our lives from the dock of this incredible property. Book it, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Nick and Jill.

Absolutely beautiful property
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The property was perfect for myself, my husband, our 2 year old son and my parents. We brought our dogs as well, they were able to run around the yard and swim and be with us while we enjoyed the beautiful weather without being on display or “distracted” by neighbors or other dogs. We did have to reach out to the host for a propane refill, the tank was quite low and we brought a weeks worth of grilling food! The host was quick to respond and sent the cleaning staff over. We ended up asking the cleaning staff when they arrived for more toilet paper as only 2 rolls were left for 4 adults for a week (one being pregnant and using the restroom A LOT!). After she left we noticed there were no extra trash bags either. We ended up making a trip to town and purchased some. However, we felt the cleaning staff could have been a bit more attentive to refilling and prepping the cabin for our visit.

Getaway weekend
If you are looking for quiet, beautiful surroundings on a pretty little lake with a kayaks and patio an outdoor space to enjoy to U.P. -this is the place! The beds are comfortable. And lots of little extras you need when you are away from home. The only negative we found, was cleaning crew not very thorough, yes, it is a cabin in the UP , but a little attention to cleaning the countertops and floors, makes a big first impression. Otherwise, a sweet little place.

The cabin and its location were both great and made for a perfect stay for couples, or would be a great place to bring your family. The property was very conveniently located to many great attractions, yet very quiet and peaceful at night.

Relaxing Lakefront Family Vacation
We enjoyed a relaxing, multigenerational family vacation at this home on Lake Nevins. The property is relatively flat which allowed the older people in our group to easily access the dock. The owners were great to work with and responded quickly to all our questions prior to and during the week long trip. Nick and Jill demonstrated a lot of flexibility for our larger group so that we could all stay on the property together. They were great hosts!! We brought in a fishing boat, but equally enjoyed fishing off of the dock. We cooked most meals at the cabin and spent the evenings enjoying the fire. The house was sufficiently stocked for our needs, with plenty of kitchen tools and bath towels. The only thing to make note of for planning is that there is no trash pickup (due to remote location) and, every day, we had to go and find places to drop off the trash we generated (we had a large group). We often paid about $4-$5 per trash bag. If you need to buy provisions for your stay, the nearest full grocery store is about 35 minutes away, but you can buy ice and beverages within 15-20 minutes. There are plenty of sites and activities in the area, which kept us entertained throughout the week. I recommend this property for a relaxing vacation in the Upper Peninsula!

Great location, but needs some work
This was a great private location. The lake was perfect and the kayaks, paddle boat and canoe available were used by our family often! The house have plenty of beds, a full kitchen and met our basic needs. Also, the communication with the owner was great and I knew I could contact them at anytime. Now what wasn’t great……there were several things that would have been much nicer with a little effort. For example, there were tall weeds all over that needed to be trimmed or sprayed, there were several loose patio blocks on the top level that my 6 year old actually fell because of, one of the patio chairs was held together with zip ties, etc. The worst part was my 6 year old was so excited to sleep in the loft, but after climbing up there, we found one corner of the room covered in mouse (or some other small rodent) poop. It clearly hasn’t been vacuumed in awhile. Also, there were ants everywhere, although bugs like that have to be expected to an extent. Lastly, having to haul your own garbage to the dump was extremely inconvenient. Surely, the cleaning staff or owners can build that into their pricing and take care of it. Overall, the area was beautiful, and we really enjoyed exploring, kayaking, etc. however, we will not be using this property again if we ever return. While it met our basic needs, I expected a lot more effort for the amount of money we were charged

Great lakeside cabin. Loved how clean and well stocked the cabin was and the size. Great Wi-Fi. Perfect location for solitude, nearby hiking trails we wanted to go on, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and rock hunting in Grand Marais. Loved the kayaks, canoe, and paddle boat available on the property for going out on the peaceful lake, and the firepit with firewood. Did find a mouse inside on the first day but we were able to scare it off and never saw it again.

Fabulous location and amenities, horrible mosquitos
The property is perfectly located between Munising and Grand Marais. Adventures to be had hiking trails, going to waterfalls, visiting beaches and seeing a lighthouse. Good local restaurant choices at both "cities", but we far preferred Munising. The kayaks and canoe at the cabin and the lake provided entertainment without having to drive anywhere. Great to unplug the devices and reconnect as a family. The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed and the owners had excellent communication. The only downside was the mosquitos! We expected bugs and such while out and about, but when we came back to the cabin, we anticipated being able to shut them out. Somehow they kept getting in, which made sleeping and relaxing at the cabin very difficult. My husband killed 23 mosquitos in less than an hour one morning while eating breakfast in the recliners by the back door overlooking the lake. Would definitely visit here again, but not in the summer!
