✨🌌Peaceful riverside cabin in the UP near public beach, trails & the Porkies!🌲

Welcome to your UP adventure headquarters: *Floodwood River Oar’asis*! Our tranquil little artfully curated getaway is the perfect home base for anyone visiting the UP! It is best described as a blend of outdoorsy inspired northwoods cabin nostalgia balanced with some comforts you’d find at home (picture snuggly blankets, crisp and cozy linens, comfy beds, a good book, the crackle of a campfire under the stars, and a warm cup of coffee or tea). A bit about our location: perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, we are situated along the banks of the Floodwood River, which, if you bring along your kayak, you can paddle just a quick jaunt downstream right up to Lake Superior. Or, trailer up your sleds and atvs to hop on the trails just down the road! 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 you’ll 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: for more info see link here: https://www.nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/ranger-iii-info.htm) 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, you’ll 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 observe and respect 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, and Lake Superior beach access is just a few miles up the road. We also offer 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, Hamilton’s North Coast rents sleds and atvs. We cannot wait for you to join us at the oar’asis 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!**

Wonderful Stay and Great Location
Although a small cabin, four adults were very comfortable. The cabin was very clean and stocked well. Heidi went out of her way to provide every amenity you could think of for both the kitchen and toiletries. Some suggestions were made for additional window screens and a picnic table which was accepted with enthusiasm so I anticipate this will happen. The location was great. We enjoyed the local Green Beach and restaurants.in town. Porcupine Mountains, waterfalls and other beaches for rock hunting all within a short to hour long drive. I forgot my pillow and Heidi immediately mailed it back to me. Highly recommend this stay.

Floodwood was our oasis!
Heidi and Gary couldn't do any better than they've done to set up and share this adorable cabin! This really has been the best stay we've ever had as a family. Our son loved his own bedroom and we loved the upstairs oasis for ours. Every little detail has been put into both decorating and stocking this perfect vacation home! We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the hummingbirds in the morning and having dinner around the firepit at night. The access to the public beach (2mi away) and the Porkies (10 min away) were perfect as well!

Relaxing vacation
We had a great stay at Heidi and Gary’s cottage! The bed was very comfortable and the shower is awesome! Heidi has amenities around the house such as coffee, different creamers, extra toiletries if needed, beach towels etc…. They also have hummingbird feeders that attract at least 6 hummingbirds and it’s pretty cool! We drank coffee in the morning and watched them flit around. We used the fire pit at night and managed to catch the Northern Lights 2 nights in a row!! The house is close to town and not too far from the Porkies!! Perfect location and we already booked again for next year!!

Great place to stay
This cabin was perfect for our family! It was cute, private, clean and had so many wonderful little touches. The fire pit was perfect in the evenings, the yard was spacious for my children to run around in, and was fun to explore. It’s perfectly located to explore much of the area. We were close to the porcupine mountains, Bond and Agate falls, and Copper Harbor was only a 2 hour drive from here. We felt were easily able to access all that we wanted to explore! Heidi is nice and fantastic with communication. You can tell she loves this cabin and wants you to have a relaxing and wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay - wished we would have booked an extra day or two! Perfect location for hikes around the Porkies Mountain and just exploring. Gary & Heidi were great - making sure we were comfortable & taken care of! Even left us some Blueberry Crepe & Wine upon our arrival - delicious snack & arrival bonus!

EXCEPTIONAL IN EVERY RESPECT
This cabin is priceless! The location is remarkable - situated on a small river and just across the highway from Lake Michigan. Easy proximity to Porcupine Mountains, which is heaven on earth. The cabin itself is thoughtfully appointed. Actually, it is immaculately appointed. The owners have thought of EVERY detail. The beds are so comfortable that I plan to ask the owner the name of the brand. Every possible detail is included with this facility. The outside landscaping is pristine. The cabin's interior is extremely well decorated. I cooked several meals there - the kitchen is terrific! If you want to visit the Porcupine Mountains or anything else in the area, this cabin is your ticket to peaceful, comfortable, brilliant lodging!

Excellent Peaceful Cabin
Very clean cabin located on a peaceful piece of property. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by some welcome treats. Heidi had contacted us to make sure we arrived and got in the cabin ok and if we needed anything don't hesitate to contact her. There was plenty of room for the two of us with space to spare. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, loved the shower head, and enjoyed watching the hummingbirds outside by the feeder. The cabin is located pretty close to the Porkies in one direction and close to downtown Ontonagon in the other direction. I had the pleasure of meeting Heidi during our stay and really enjoyed our conversation. Thank you Heidi and Gary for making this an enjoyable stay with all your extra touches.

Weekend Getaway
We loved our time at this cute cabin in Ontonagon Mi! The cabin was equipped with absolutely everything you could think of to make stay enjoyable. We visited the Porcupine Mountains and went waterfall hunting. We also rode some of the ATV trails, which were a short drive (trailered) to reach. Many memories were made. It was a wonderful weekend getaway, one that we will share with whoever will listen! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.

Hummingbird Heaven
My son, daughter in law and I go on a hiking trip in the UP every year. This year we selected the Porcupine Mountains. I selected the Oar’Asis cabin for our home base - perfect size, location and price. We were not disappointed - the cabin is absolutely adorable. Our hostess, Heidi, left the door open & lights on for our arrival, which was a bit late in the day. The clean, comfortable beds felt great after a day of traveling. In the morning Heidi greeted us with a pan of delicious blueberry crepes, powdered sugar and real maple syrup. I’ve never had a host do that! There are musical instruments and games for every age & ability, the tiny kitchen is well stocked. But the best feature was watching the hummingbirds around the feeders. One little guy stayed on a perch almost 24/7 - we called him our “guard bird”. Truly a peaceful, magical place for anyone who loves a quiet retreat surrounded by nature.

Just returned from a wonderful weekend at Heidi and Gary's cabin. We were driving in during a big snowfall & ultimately had to delay our arrival, but Heidi and Gary had everything prepped for us & were so communicative and accommodating. The cabin itself is very cozy and warm in the winter months, with a perfectly stocked kitchen. Heidi and Gary have sprinkled lovely personal touches throughout the cabin which make the trip a extra delight. Thanks again!

Location is great to the Western UP and we even drove down to Manitowish Waters, WI. to visit one of our old favorite establishments, The Little Bohemia Lodge. The Porkies are just down the road, and Ontonagon County has beautiful beaches. The sleeping arrangements are perfect and the beds are super comfy! Heidi was always nearby if we needed anything.

Great cabin stay!
Our stay at this little cabin was incredible and the property was very well kept and peaceful. Heidi went above and beyond and responded any time we reached out to her, she is a wonderful host. When we arrived, there were several special treats left for us including her families rhubarb cake and it was delicious, it was the first time my wife had anything with rhubarb, and she especially enjoyed it. The extras were a very nice touch for her birthday as well. In my wife's words, the cabin was super cute and stocked with anything you can imagine, Heidi thought of everything! The place is super clean, cozy, and comfortable! There is a charcoal BBQ available, and the kitchen is well stocked, perfect for when you want to stay at the cabin to cook. The cabin is in close proximity to the Porcupine Mountains, Ontonagon, and the beach. If you have never been to the Porkies, we recommend The Lake of the Clouds, Summit Peak and Presque Isle River and try to check out as many waterfalls as you can. We also suggest going to the beach and taking in a sunset. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, drinking our coffee or wine, and taking in the sounds of nature, even had a deer sighting, and after dark looking at the beautiful night sky. The perfect little up north get away. Thank you for opening your home to us. We felt at home here and if we are ever in the area again we would love to stay here again.
