Family friendly chalet style, Hiking, Inland lakes, Pic Rocks/Munising!

Only 11 miles south of Munising/Pictured Rocks, Snowmobile from the Cabin to the Trail!

Welcome to Maple Ridge! Nestled in the woods of the Hiawatha National Forest, close to Pictured Rocks Nat'l Lakeshore, is a place where time is forgotten. Whether to get the family away from a hectic city schedule, for a 'girls' or 'boys' weekend retreat or a getaway for mom & dad to relax & unwind, you'll find Maple Ridge cottage to be a place you'll want to return to often! Gaze into the light of the outdoor fire or sip a cool drink while lounging on the deck; you'll find peaceful times at Maple Ridge. Just a walk away from hiking trails & swimming, Maple Ridge cottage in the woods, is sure to capture your heart. Cottage Amenities: The Cottage is very popular because of its amenities, charm & location to snowmobile, hiking trails & all that our beautiful Upper Peninsula has to offer you. Try our queen size beds, all bedding included. Family room, spacious deck & fire pit (spring thru fall) are sure to be a hit. Don't worry about 'roughing it' at Maple Ridge!

Maple Ridge area: Maple Ridge is located in the Hiawatha National Forest on 2 wooded quiet acres. The cabin can sleep up to 12 guests as follows: 3 queen beds, 1 twin bed, 1 sofa sleeper (main floor); 2 twin rollaways and 1 queen air mattress! Pete's Lake area is within walking distance, only 1/2 mile from Maple Ridge and has a nice beach and swimming area, fishing pier, picnic tables and grills. Hiking trails all over the place in our neck of the woods and lots of inland fishing lakes. Bring your boat and canoe along and trailer to many, many area lakes. A fire in the fire pit will be great fun at night to make s'mores. Grill your fresh catch on the charcoal grill or if you didn't 'strike out' you can always go into Munising and purchase some fresh Lake Superior trout! Take the short drive, on our beautiful Federal Forest Hwy, into Munising to enjoy Pictured Rocks cruise, glass bottom boat rides, golfing, charter fishing, shopping, and more, and then enjoy your time back at the cottage with peace and quiet in the woods.

Excellent property and home We had a small family getaway. The location and design of the home were perfect. Short drive to Munising and plenty of space for the six of us. Home is clean and well kept and the owners are very responsive to any questions

Favorite Family Vacation
This is our second summer in the UP and it won’t be our last. Our stay at Maple Ridge made our vacation all the sweeter this year. The cabin was as described/pictured, clean with a well stocked kitchen. Our family of nine (seven children ages 17 to four) had plenty of space to comfortably enjoy our week away with a great selection of both inside and outside toys and games. Our first evening there we had planned to unpack the van and “set up” for the week. Much to my surprise we ended the evening with a game of washers with the teens, a campfire and star gazing! Lisa, the host was very helpful with directions, timely communication and even shared information about the local 4th of July festival. Without hesitation we will stay at Maple Ridge the next time we are in the UP.

Awesome place.
Such a nice clean, comfortable house. We were there with my family, which included six adults, a nine month, old, baby, and two dogs. It worked out great that we each had our own level to sleep on. There is no air conditioning but that’s not a problem. Open the windows at night and close them in the morning and you’ll stay plenty cooI. It was about a 15 to 20 minute drive to Munising. We went hiking, kayaking, tour, boat cruise, and a great brewery called By George, which we visited every day. LOL . You must hike to the beach…beautiful and bigger beach than Mexico resorts. The pizza place across from the brewery was very good also and offered vegetarian and vegan options. You must try the pasties. They were great and we also ate at Captain Ron’s fish food truck. The grocery store was a bit expensive so I would recommend you bring as much food and booze as you can. There is a small general store down the road from the house that’s helpful. Bring mosquito spray if going in June. We also bought a stroller mosquito net for the baby but put it over her (and the person carrying her) when hiking. She didn’t get a single bite! Lisa made our reservations and arrangements effortlessly and kept in constant contact. So professional and efficient. Thank you, Lisa!!! We did buy firewood for bonfires, but forgot the sun stays up until around 9:30 PM , then the mosquitoes came out and we ran inside. Overall very enjoyable house and we will definitely stay there again.

great cabin
The cabin met our needs, was clean, roomy, and comfortable. It was a nice surprise to have all of the kid-friendly games and toys available to keep my 5 year old nephew entertained. We enjoyed the firepit, the deck, and being surrounded by trees. The only issue we had was a little miscommunication/misunderstanding. We were told there was a half mile path to Pete's Lake when it was actually a half mile path AT or NEAR Pete's Lake. We also didn't know the grill was located in the garage/storage building and spent a lot of time searching the property for the grill. Both instances were handled/resolved through further communications with the owner and were certainly NOT reasons to think twice about renting the place. We loved being close to Munising and Pictured Rocks and would recommend the cabin to others.

Family Vacay in Munising
Cabin was great for our family of eight. Kitchen had an abundance of cookware, small appliances and dishes. There were even spices for cooking. Depending on the nature of your visit, the location isn’t great. It’s about 14 miles from downtown Munising so it wasn’t ideal for us - we were there for the hiking, falls and beaches. The listing also indicates that it is a half mile from Pete’s Lake - we never did find the walking path to the area. Communication with Lisa, the host, was great. There are lots of specific requests/rules and housekeeping items you are asked to take care of. The WiFi is good once you are at the cabin, but the surrounding area is dead. Future trips we’ll choose something closer to town but all in all it was a good experience.

The cabin is beautiful. The owners were very accommodating, easy to talk to, and quick to responding to any questions or concerns. They allowed us to bring are fur babies too! Great experience. We loved the location. Quiet, peaceful, and the neighbors aren't close by. Quite a bit of privacy but still close enough to the places we wanted to explore; grand island, miners falls, miners castle, and miners beach.
