Welcome to Rustic Acres Lodge! Our fully furnished family-built cabin is waiting for you to enjoy! We are located in the Hiawatha National Forest just miles from the town of Munising, the entrance to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Grand Island. This is an outdoor enthusiasts’ paradise with hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, gorgeous sand beaches and numerous inland lakes accessible within a few miles. Beyond exploring the Lake Superior shoreline, spend your days enjoying the dunes and beaches on the north shore of Lake Michigan, Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Whitefish Point and Mackinac Island.
Rustic Acres Lodge has an open concept main living area that includes a living room, dining table and kitchen. Vaulted ceilings, comfortable living room furniture, and large windows bring the forest in creating a beautiful and inviting space. The fully stocked kitchen and dining room table make it a perfect space to cook and enjoy time together. The lodge sleeps 7 people. Sleeping arrangements include two downstairs bedrooms with one queen and one full bed and a loft with a queen and twin bed. The loft also has an entertainment space with games, puzzles, books and movies. In the evenings relax in the lodge enjoying the 30ft long screened porch, sit around the fire pit, or star gaze for shooting stars and the northern lights.

About the Owner/Manager
Rustic Acres Lodge is owned by a family who spent over a decade falling in love with the UP while building the lodge. As outdoor lovers ourselves, the UP was a perfect place to lay roots. Over the years we have invited family, friends, and co-workers to stay at the lodge and experience it for themselves. We decided to rent our beloved cabin to extend the experience to others. With the owners a short drive away, any unforeseen issues can be quickly resolved and great care is taken for each new set of visitors.
We welcome you to stay and enjoy your UP experience!
Inquire and book with MI rental owners or managers to get the lowest
price online.
(Give rental owners/managers a few details about your MI getaway)
