Bear Tree Homestead is nestled among the cliffs and ravines which drains the south face of Hogback Mountain located in Marquette Township Michigan. Hogback Mountain is one of the larger rock formations in the Huron Range, a surprisingly rugged, and diverse region of low mountains carved by glaciers. Each cabin is hand-built of log and stone using traditional Scandinavian building tools and techniques. Our buildings, gardens, and pastures are integrated into the forested landscape and are not your typical homestead. One of the most wonderful things we have to offer is the accessibility to thousands of protected acres surrounding us and the trails that bisect them. We are located 8 miles from downtown Marquette in Michigan's Upper Peninsula where there are many great restaurants, shops, and brewpubs. However, once you drive into Bear Tree Homestead and settle in you will not want to leave.

The Pond Cabin
Best Kept Secret in the UP
This was a GORGEOUS cabin complete with everything you need for an amazing trip! Jill was super kind and had everything we needed. The amenities made the stay a breeze and we were able to cook, make coffee, stay warm, and sit by the fire with ease! I’d give it the same rating as the number of stars we saw in the sky!

Orchard Cabin
Scenic Homestead Adventure!
Jill and Nic are outstanding hosts who make you feel right at home with their warm hospitality and engaging conversations. Their homestead is absolutely stunning! We stayed in the Orchard cabin for two nights and found ourselves wishing we could have stayed longer. The cabin was perfectly designed for our group of four, featuring thoughtful touches throughout—from the delicious welcome cookies to the incredibly cozy bedding and spacious layout that truly felt like a home away from home. Plus, with easy access to trailheads right off the property, we were able to dive into nature in no time. A highlight was interacting with the animals—dogs, yaks, a ram, ducks, and chickens—which made our stay feel even more special. We even braved a quick November dip in their pond! I can’t recommend this place highly enough—if you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate! It’s an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to come back.

The Pond Cabin
Homesteading at its finest.
Jill and Nick were simply the best host. They've created an incredible experience down to every detail and we are so thankful that they choose to share it with us. The cabin was wonderful, with all the essentials you may need. Our two dogs were so sad to leave, as were we. We will surely be back and can't wait until next time. Thank you both!
