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.

I hauled 3 bundles of firewood, just to discover there is a stocked wood shed. Lol.

During the winter its about a mile long un groomed ski or snowshoe in and out. (If your not familiar with the area: Directions from the allocated parking lot are not clear, no map, just 2 small signs- one at the highway, one further in that point to "cabin")

We had a enjoyable weekend there. Glad to have a place we could ski/stay with our dog. Of course we were there during the coldest weekend ever -18 to 10 degrees during our trip...it was a cold trip to the outhouse! Thankfully we stayed cozy inside with the woodstove (there was plenty of wood), enjoyed the wild birds, went on all 3 ski trails and skied out on McKeever Lake.

We love the cabin so much. A great annual family trip. Other than a flush toilet, I cant think of anything I'd change haha. The peace, quiet, and nature are all so beautiful. We love this little gem! Cant wait to come back next year.

McKeever cabin was great. you can hear loons on the lake. the only negative was the bunks were Very hard to sleep on.maybe an air mattress on it would be more comfortable. the top bunk as you enter had a very bad smell .otherwise I would go again in a heartbeat.

This is a terrific place to stay. Very isolated. We never saw any other people near the cabin other than fishermen on McKeever Lake. The walk from the parking lot to the cabin is pretty brutal (at least if you're hauling all the gear for your family of four, as I was), but that's my only complaint. We hope to come back next year.
