✨🌌Peaceful riverside cabin in the UP near public beach🌊, 🥾trails & the Porkies!🌲

Welcome to your UP adventure headquarters: *Floodwood River Oar’asis*! Our tranquil little artfully curated getaway is the perfect home base for anyone visiting the UP! It is best described as a blend of outdoorsy inspired northwoods cabin nostalgia balanced with some comforts you’d find at home (picture cozy linens, comfy beds, a rainfall style shower head, the crackle of a campfire under the stars, and a warm cup of coffee/tea). Hosting is so much more to us than just renting out our cabin. We strive to help create a memorable experience for our guests! A bit about our location: perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, we are situated along the banks of the Floodwood River, and we are a few miles from the public beach for Lake Superior access. During peak snow season, bring your sleds and ride (safely) along the shoulder of the highway to the trailhead (3mi)! If conditions are just right, you may even fall asleep to the sound of the waves of the big lake, or stay up late and catch a glimpse of the breathtaking dance of the northern lights! The cabin sits on serene 32 acres of private wooded property so you are welcome to explore, snowshoe (provided for guests in winter) and relax to your hearts content. We are located just a few miles from town, where you’ll find a selection of shops, groceries, gas as well as options for dining out (we reccommend The Squeeze!). We are also approx 20 miles away from Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park including Lake of the Clouds, all levels of hiking trails, waterfalls, beaches, cc and downhill skiing and more! There are plenty of nearby snowmobile, atv and hiking trails/UP adventure hotspots (Bond Falls, Agate Falls, etc. or take the ferry to Isle Royale) within an hour or so radius of the cabin; the possibilities are endless no matter what season you visit! Interior cabin amenities include: the main floor is wheelchair accessible, has a covered porch with spacious entryway, full bath with tile shower, petite yet well equipped kitchen and wet bar as well as a dining and living area. There are two queen beds, one on the main floor and one up in the loft, sleeping a total of 4 people. Upstairs, opposite the sleeping area, you’ll find a desk for creatives and a cozy reading nook. We have internet service for you to work remotely, but also encourage you to disconnect and take time to enjoy a hobby of yours or explore the outdoors! Speaking of outdoor space: Please be respectful our occasional animal visitors, including deer, hummingbirds, river beavers, and more! We have a firepit with chairs as well as a trail down to the river. We also offer a very large and level gravel area with plenty of room for parking and unloading trailers for those of you who are visiting us to snowmobile or ATV/side by side on the local trails! If youre looking to rent, Hamilton’s North Coast rents sleds and atvs. We cannot wait for you to join us @floodwoodriveroarasis on your next trip to Upper Michigan!
**We fully respect your privacy during your stay, but we do stop by occasionally to water the outdoor plants, plow snow and take the garbage out for collection. Thank you for understanding!**

Great host, cabin and location

Our Spring Break trip was great. Heidi was great at communicating, had Swedish crepes in the fridge when we arrived and alerted us of a good night to see the Northern Lights. We hiked the Porkies on three of our days and did road trips to Houghton and Calumet the other two days.

Cute cabin get away

Very cute & well appointed cabin. Close to many activities and services, but far enough out for some serious quiet. Heidi was extremely prompt with communication and even provided welcome treats for our arrival. Meticulously clean throughout with well stocked kitchen and bath. Excellent facilities for a couple or two (or family) to spend time away together. Snowmobile trail access is just a short ride down the roadside. Will certainly be staying here again should we find ourselves vacationing in the area.

Pefect getaway

This place was exactly what we needed for our snowmobile trip. Place has everything you need. Communication was excellent right from the start. You have to appreciate all the little details that the owners put into the property to make you feel at home and relaxed. We will definitely be booking with them again for a weekend on the harleys! By far the best vrbo experience we have had.Tha ks for everything!

Heidi went above and beyond to make out stay feel warm and inviting. She even made us a little treat. The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of 3. She has literally thought of everything you could possibly need! We were not far from the snowmobile trail, from the front doordoor.

Very Clean and Plenty of Amenities

Very nice cottage with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The decor makes you feel like you are out in the middle of the country. Must post a disclaimer for snowmobilers: The nearest trail is 3.5 miles away. Only way to get there is by ditch riding (which is legal). However, being unfamiliar with the area, having to cross multiple driveways and a couple bridges, we did not want to chance it with rental sleds. Plus, our rental place was only 10 miles away. Would not stop us from staying there again, just wanted to advise for those wondering in the future.

The host Heidi was wonderful. She went above and beyond to get things back on track.

There was a few hiccups with missing information from the Vrbo company. But after contacting Heidi (Host), she sincerely apologized and very quickly got things back on track. The place was as pictures showed. Very warm and inviting. We were graciously greeted with delicious muffins and sweets. We very much enjoyed our stay, but unfortunately, due to unpredictable weather/storm coming in we had to leave a day early. We definitely will be back again. Next time perhaps when it is warmer and we can totally check all out more. We did go to Agate Beach and did some rock hounding, along with stopping at a quaint restaurant and rock shop. The young man we talk to was very interesting and we learned a lot from him. We definitely look forward to our next return. Thank you Heidi for all your kindness. ❤️ See you again soon! Dorene

Amazing Cabin and Hosts!

My boyfriend, sister, brother-in-law, and I stayed at the Oar'Asis the first weekend of October - the communication with the hosts and the cabin were amazing! Anytime that we had any questions the hosts were very prompt with their responses and were super helpful. The hosts even made us delicious muffins and dog treats for my mom's and aunt's poodles (both homemade)! The cabin felt just like home and made our hikes even better knowing that we could come back to such an amazing place to stay :) Our group had so much fun playing with the dart board in the entryway! The cabin was super well furnished and had everything you could want - the hosts provided extra bathroom items in case anybody forgot anything, which is very thoughtful! I was super grateful that they had a desk in the bedroom so that I could get some studying done during the trip too. The property even had a great outdoor fireplace and the hosts provided some firewood too! The cabin and our hosts made the stay so wonderful and we hope to be back next year!

Lots of attention to detail with amenities. We were out all day every day but a sweet place to come back to. Cooking a bit of a challenge in tiny kitchen but as long as you keep up with the dishes the dearth of counter space merely quaint! Really comfortable bed.

Wonderful Stay and Great Location

Although a small cabin, four adults were very comfortable. The cabin was very clean and stocked well. Heidi went out of her way to provide every amenity you could think of for both the kitchen and toiletries. Some suggestions were made for additional window screens and a picnic table which was accepted with enthusiasm so I anticipate this will happen. The location was great. We enjoyed the local Green Beach and restaurants.in town. Porcupine Mountains, waterfalls and other beaches for rock hunting all within a short to hour long drive. I forgot my pillow and Heidi immediately mailed it back to me. Highly recommend this stay.

Floodwood was our oasis!

Heidi and Gary couldn't do any better than they've done to set up and share this adorable cabin! This really has been the best stay we've ever had as a family. Our son loved his own bedroom and we loved the upstairs oasis for ours. Every little detail has been put into both decorating and stocking this perfect vacation home! We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the hummingbirds in the morning and having dinner around the firepit at night. The access to the public beach (2mi away) and the Porkies (10 min away) were perfect as well!

Relaxing vacation

We had a great stay at Heidi and Gary’s cottage! The bed was very comfortable and the shower is awesome! Heidi has amenities around the house such as coffee, different creamers, extra toiletries if needed, beach towels etc…. They also have hummingbird feeders that attract at least 6 hummingbirds and it’s pretty cool! We drank coffee in the morning and watched them flit around. We used the fire pit at night and managed to catch the Northern Lights 2 nights in a row!! The house is close to town and not too far from the Porkies!! Perfect location and we already booked again for next year!!

Great place to stay

This cabin was perfect for our family! It was cute, private, clean and had so many wonderful little touches. The fire pit was perfect in the evenings, the yard was spacious for my children to run around in, and was fun to explore. It’s perfectly located to explore much of the area. We were close to the porcupine mountains, Bond and Agate falls, and Copper Harbor was only a 2 hour drive from here. We felt were easily able to access all that we wanted to explore! Heidi is nice and fantastic with communication. You can tell she loves this cabin and wants you to have a relaxing and wonderful stay.
