Amongst the woods and pasture at the end of a road awaits your humble and cozy cabin. Hiking, snowshoeing, Lake Superior beaches, lighthouses, private sunset, dark skies...or simply resting. Come here to get away from it all. Off the beaten path while also being a launch pad for your Keweenaw Peninsula explorations! The cabin is at White Sky Woods Homestead, 240 acres we steward in historic Jacobsville. Our family remodeled this home which is built around the original settler's hand-hewn cabin.

The space
Excellent for solo travelers, couples, friends or a small family! If it’s nature and quiet you want to immerse yourself in, come and stay. Take a .75 mile walk to a beautiful secluded spot on Lake Superior or a 5 mile drive to a public sandy swimming beach, boat launch, and lighthouse. Get your dose of Vitamin N (Nature) - Guests have access to our growing 3+ mile trail system exploring woods, pastures, ponds and wetlands. A map is provided in the Welcome Binder. Trails are available year-round and groomed in winter for snowshoeing (as weather allows). Pick a pond on our private property for a picnic and enjoy hearing only the sounds of nature. Picnic basket and blanket available to borrow. Observe the wildlife through sight and sound. It is not unusual to see deer, beaver, porcupine, sandhill cranes, eagles, song birds, and many more depending on the season.

The cabin is situated on 240 acres - this is White Sky Woods Homestead, where your hosts settled in 2017 and are living their dream. Guests can add to their visit by taking a tour of the homestead, choose a paid experience and/or purchase freshly made homemade rustic bread, jelly, produce and eggs which will be delivered fresh to the cabin for your stay (some items only available seasonally). Details will be sent about a week prior to your stay.

We are dog friendly! To keep our cabin dog friendly we rely on our guests to be responsible pet owners during their stay. If you are bringing your dog, please read the house rules to understand expectations. Dogs are family and we recognize the value of being able to travel with your pet, but we count on responsible pet owners to be able to offer a pet-friendly stay.
