Site 3 Mountain View Cabin

My boyfriend and I had an absolute blast at Shawn's Rustic camp and will be returning this winter! The cabin is cozy, private, and had more to offer than we anticipated. Water was provided, the cabin had lights, a cooking stove and a TV that ran of propane. The Outhouse was clean and only 20 feet from the cabin, and a sauna that we plan to utilize next time. Shawn himself was awesome! He shared some of the history of his 100 year old family camp, played us a nice tune on his guitar, and brought us donuts the following morning. Not only did we find our new little getaway, but we found a new friend. Couldn't recommend the location enough!

Site 2 Garden

Everything was pure bliss and perfection at the campsite! Shawn had already had piles of firewood for us - and there is tons more around the site when you run out. He also provided a tripod grate for over the fire to cook anything you need. Shawn went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed to, as well as provided all the recommendations for best Lake Superior beaches and even smaller bodies of water near the campsite. There is a little outhouse to use for the bathroom and he even had scrabble and bean bag toss for us to play! We were able to check in earlier than the time stated and Shawn was nothing short of hospitable and the friendliest host I’ve ever encountered. Would without a doubt book this campsite every time I need accommodations in the Marquette area!

Site 3 Mountain View Cabin

Property was gorgeous! Host is very welcoming and present. Helped find us when we were lost. More amenities than what are listed: examples propane powered features and a tv. Loved the area! Upstairs would be great for kids, and the cabin has a lot of personal touches!

Shawn was extremely friendly. Highly recommend this spot. Great place to stay to visit students at Northern- far away from any road noise or lights. Very peaceful.
