About Mckeever Cabin
McKeever Cabin is located in the Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, approximately 14 mi south of Munising, Michigan. The Cabin was constructed in 1991 and overlooks the 132-acre McKeever Lake.
While the facility offers little in the way of modern amenities, convenient access to a number of recreational activities, including hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, swimming and cross-country skiing, make this cabin a desirable destination for the outdoors enthusiast.
During warmer months, visitors may park their vehicle and access the cabin by foot via a 1 ft. trail. When snow is present, the cabin may be accessed by snowshoe or cross-country skis via a 1-mile trail.

What an amazing little cabin. It is a little off the beaten path, so I would recommend arriving in the daylight if possible. We arrived in the dark and had a fun time figuring out where to go. It was however, an amazing wake up when we realized we were just steps away from a small lake. I wish we could've stayed longer. The cabin had all the amenities we needed - firewood, bathroom facilities, toilet paper, kleenex, cards & books. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet, rugged little getaway.
We brought along our own sleeping mats and sleeping bags as there were four bare bunk beds. We will definitely be back.

We loved this cabin! It was perfect for a little winter get away. The wood stove gets HOT. You can cook and boil water on it no problem. We wish we would have kept our camp stove at home! We will be back asap :)

Truly a winter wonderland. I do not know if I have ever experienced the type of silence I did in the snow covered McKeever Hills. Pack light in winter. It is a bit of a trek in two feet of snow from the road.
