About this property

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.

It’s a great place to stay!

We all enjoyed our trip, We cooked breakfast and dinner every day and snowmobiled during the day. The cabin had everything we needed and plenty of games to enjoy. Would highly recommend staying there.

Hibernation Station

This was an outstanding cabin for us! We weren’t there much during the weekend but it was a very relaxing and homey cabin to come back to after a long day. Cabin was spotless and check in/out directions were easy to understand. We loved the game room…so much room for activities! If staying here in the “snow” months you would definitely benefit from a 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicle. We would definitely stay here again and again.

Winter Wonderland

Amazing cabin, very clean and cozy. Had everything our family loved games, movies, reading by the fire …. comfort of a home away from home. A place to call “up north” to get away. Highly recommend to disconnect and create family time! Great location!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Weekend getaway

This property is an amazing place to stay for those interested in trail riding. Plenty of room for trailers and parking. Also plenty of entertainment inside of the cabin to keep us entertained when not out on the trails. Our group had a great time and will be happy to be back

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!

Great Up North Getaway

My wife and I had a great time staying at the cabin. It was very spacious and had tons of activities/games that kept our evening busy. The location only a block away from Little Bear Lake was amazing and it's location gave up very quiet evenings. Would definitely return and recommend to friends.

Great cabin with lots of inside fun family activities. Host was a great communicator as I didn’t have much online cell service when arriving to get checked in. Would recommend a suv/truck as cabin is on a rough dirt road. Thanks for a good stay!
