Enchanting 4-Season Retreat in the Woods Near Trails Lakes and Resorts

Get away to this cabin in the woods and make the most of everything Northern Michigan has to offer. Hibernation Station is the quintessential outdoor getaway backing up to thousands of acres of state land where you can hit ATV and snowmobile trails, hunt, do some mushroom picking or hike. Our cabin is just around the corner from Little and Big Bear lakes great for swimming, fishing, boating and kayaking. Perfect for family fun, couple’s retreats, or a guys’ weekend for up to 8 guests!

In summer months enjoy the large deck backing up to the woods, a fire pit, outdoor bar, kayaks for the nearby lakes, miles and miles of trails for off-roading fun, and a huge pole barn to store all of your toys. Golfers can find three golf resorts all within a 25-minute drive!

When temperatures start to fall, take advantage of the snowmobile trails just steps from the cabin, local skiing, tubing, and snowshoeing, or hide inside in the warm cabin and checkout the snow from the abundant windows looking onto the beautiful winter scenery.

The cabin has everything you could need for your escape from the bustles of everyday life! The fully equipped kitchen includes a coffee maker, microwave, dishware, breakfast bar, and a dishwasher. There are two living spaces with TV, internet, and games all in a cozy setting. Towels and linens, ceiling fans, washer & dryer are just a few more things to ensure a carefree stay!

A couple of things to note!
Our property is located off of a two-track road. We highly recommend a four or all-wheel drive vehicle in winter months. While we do our best to keep it plowed, it's in the woods! Things get messy.
The only internet available is through a T-Mobile hotspot we provide. You can have multiple devices connected to the network and stream, which is how we provide cable (through YouTube TV). But again, you're in the woods, so we like to caution it's not as powerful or reliable as your cable or broadband internet in the city.

Great place for a quiet stay
I ended up with a short notice free long weekend and got lucky to find this place. Everything was exactly as described and even cuter in person. It was quiet and well taken care of, I loved all the little touches. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in the woods. While there are neighbors nearby, everyone was quiet and respectful and you can only see one neighbor from the front yard. Everything was perfect and I got some much needed relaxation and sightseeing done. Thank you so much!

Beautiful getaway
Beautiful, cozy cabin with private yard. Everything was as listed and made our extended weekend getaway just perfect. Wish there would have been some wood available onsite for the wood stove and an awning over the front door would have kept us dry while getting in while it was raining. But those things wouldn’t stop us from coming back or recommending this place to someone else.

Perfect place!!
This place was everything advertised and more! The location was remote and tucked away, the house was clean, and the pole barn was perfect for our gear. The game room was everything the pictures advertised; we had a blast! In one weekend, we disc golfed, rode the trails and golfed at the lakes. Nothing was more than 30 minutes away. Definitely recommend!

Heavenly hideaway
We haven’t been to little bear lake in 30 years. It was a wonderful, emotional and truly blessed vacation. My brother lives in Switzerland and couldn’t believe we were able to find a gorgeous cabin on Little Bear. Your cabin made our dreams come true. We can’t wait to come back.

Little paradise in the woods
This cute cabin in the woods has everything you need for all ages. We had so much fun playing the games, walking, enjoying our coffee in the morning on the deck and riding the trails. Great place to relax and get away for a week.

Great Hideaway
This cabin is the perfect hideaway for just about any age! We traveled with our kids ages 1 year to 11 years and they all enjoyed it. There’s no dangerous areas for a crawling baby (just lock the glass door if you want to leave the front door open because it doesn’t latch) and there’s so many fun games and activities for all ages! We didn’t get to do much hiking or anything, but it seems there is a lot in the area. Beds were comfy. The only thing for me was that it got a little sketchy driving in and out with my van. It was doable but just be ware in case there’s a lot of rain. Definitely need 4 wheel drive in winter like they said! Hope to go back one day.

Great time in the cabin! We went to several different places so we didn't get to spend as much time at the cabin as we would have liked. However, our time there was wonderful! The fires every night seemed to bring out the laughter and fun. I had several friends comment on how lovely the cabin looked (from pictures) and seemed interested in renting.

Just what we needed
The game room was a hit with the kids and us adults. We loved the open space and had plenty of room to be comfortable. The use of the barn was nice to store our side by side in. The location back in the woods made for great privacy and gave you the up north feel.

Charming and fun
The home was very cute with a wonderful game room area in the back. The property was very well maintained and had everything we needed for our stay. We struggled to find the dirt road leading to the house…Waze didn’t seem to have the exact location but once we put the address in Apple Maps we had no trouble. Location is close to a lot of other towns. We spent our time exploring the many state parks and trails around the area. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Everything was great about this property. The driveway was a bit rough getting in, but we were able to make it through without the need of 4wd. We wanted to bring snowmobiles, but MI winter wasn't cooperating. Either way, trail systems are within a short distance and we were able to take our tiny ATV's out. The place itself was great. Having the wood burning stove was super nice for cold weather without having to crank the heat. There are a ton of good games and activities to keep you occupied while indoors. 10/10 would book again.

Thank you so much for the stay at your Cabin. It is definitely the kind of place that my friend and I would love to be able to retire to. We love the winter and being out in an area where there is almost nobody around. I'm sure it isn't as quiet in the summer, but it was an awesome stay.

Cannot express how wonderful this cabin is. Ashley's attention to detail makes Hibernation Station one of the most welcoming places we've stayed. Almost don't want to tell anyone how great everything was so we can keep it our secret. Already planning our next trip back

We had a great time! We appreciated the restaurant list in the welcome book. We spent a whole day just hanging out and playing all of the games. Wish the swing had been up and wanted a basketball for the hoop, but we had plenty to do.
