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.

wonderful cabin in the middle of the woods for those who love a more primitive setting, no electricity or running water, just a wood burning stove, out house and hand pump water well (well may not work in freezing weather). As primitive, patrons are consistent in leaving in good condition for next visitors to enjoy; cleaned and plenty of wood brought in

The cabin was in great shape, and the surrounding areas are beautiful.

I am curious what the stacks of wood with layers of plastic tarp material are around the cabin.

This place was great. The hike in was a little long since we weren’t planning on it, but it was all worth it. Extremely remote and surrounded by nature.

Nice cabin. Great location for both outdoorsy stuff and touristy stuff. Minor mouse problem. Would have been nice if a canoe or row boat could be left on site for better lake access. Description should make it clear that high-clearance vehicles are more appropriate for access road. Helps to pack in using a wagon.

Great cabin, perfect for a rustic getaway while still having a comfortable bed and heat. Please, don't be like us, and pack light if you plan on skiing in. The trail is harder than you think if you're pulling a sled full of heavy things. They supply wood, so don't worry about that. I was told the water pump sometimes freezes, but it was not frozen for us. Drink water, regardless. We got a little dehydrated after the ski in, and a hot a fire going.
