Cranberry Lake is a quiet, spring-fed inland lake known for its clear water and peaceful, natural setting. Guests can enjoy casual fishing for northern pike, yellow perch, and panfish such as bluegill from the dock or a small boat. Included is a 14' fishing boat (two bench seats), a canoe and paddles, anchor, oars, and life vests provided for guest use. Whether you're casting a line, paddling the shoreline, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings, the lake offers a true Northwoods experience. You are welcome to bring along a small motor or electric motor.
For winter guests, snowmobile trail access is nearby, with the trailhead approximately 4 miles from the property. Riders can access the trail via wide ditch riding along County Road 440.
The garage is available for parking or working on sleds in the winter, and there is ample space for large trailers.
Moose Lodge shares the property with a nearby sister cabin, thoughtfully positioned with wooded surroundings to maintain a quiet and private setting. If you have 12 to 16 guess you might enjoy renting both cabins.

The cabin was cozy and perfect for our family of 4. The host was amazing and very accommodating. The snowmobile trails were easily accessible from the cabin. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
Very beautiful, secluded property on a lake. The bunkbed did not have a ladder or any way to get to the top so we did not use the top bunk. People who were on the lower level, reported that they could hear people on the upper level walking, so not the best sound insulation inside the house. The sink in the upper level bathroom did not drain well.About 30 minutes drive to Munising and about 10-15 minutes drive to the closest store which was very good.
The cabin is gorgeous. Host our amazing, the grill wasn't working and they brought a new grill out the next day. Just wish the beds were a little softer. Can't go wrong with this cabin.
Do Not STAY HERE!!!!!The cabin was not well kept at all. The floors and the counter tops were very sticky throughout the cabin. Cobwebs in various places in the cabin. Bugs and spiders also in the home. The cleanliness of this cabin was below standard. With being in the UP I expected mosquitoes and bugs, but it was extremely excessive at this place plus hornets throughout the cabin. I looked under the sink in the kitchen and could see a mouse trap. We could tell that there was a dead mouse somewhere behind a cabinet or the fridge. The sliding glass door had dirt and debris all in its tracks. I contacted the owner, she mentioned about the cleaner to come back out to do cleaning which I thought was nice. We declined. We didnât even bother to enjoy the yard because of how bad the mosquitoes were and or go on the lake. This place really needs updating and far better cleaning company to take care of this place. Our kids enjoyed the loft area that had beanbags up there with a hole in one of the beanbags from the previous renter. When we left, the bag was in disrepair from my kids, using it in the previous renter which we got blamed for. The owner didnât even check to see how clean the place was from the last renter and a check if that beanbag was ripped from the previous owner which she blamed us for. Where this is located, it is about a half hour from Munising. We were hoping this would be a good central hub for us, but if youâre looking for a cabin to be in the middle of nowhere.
We couldn't be happier with our stay. We wanted to be off the beaten path, and we definitely got that. The cabin and property are beautiful and clean. The property owner is nice and attentive.
The cabin was beautiful as pictured. Great location to explore the Pictured Rocks area. After a day of kayaking and hiking it was awesome to come home to such a beautiful spot. Sitting on the dock at night was amazing. The stars were phenomenal. The home owner checked in a couple times but was not needed. Everything was in order.
If I have any suggestions - itâs probably time to upgrade the mattresses
We wanted to experience the log cabin getaway and decided on this central U.P. location. I'm glad we did, the host provided everything we needed for an enjoyable stay and sent a PDF with very detailed information including directions to find this remote cabin on cranberry lake. Our family of 4 had plenty of room and privacy for the girls. Very happy with the host and our stay.
Super clean cottage!!!! We had 5 people and it was more than enough room! Lisa was very communicative, check in/out was easy and the price was reasonable! Great time!
