Aurora Basecamp at Pictured Rocks Sleeps 10

Description

One of the best places in the Lower 48 to catch the Northern Lights — and your basecamp for Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Kayak the cliffs, chase waterfalls at peak flow, and unwind under UP skies. Cedar cabin with 4 bedrooms, sleeps 10, indoor fireplace, central A/C, oversized deck, and firepit. Minutes from Grand Marais harbor. Kids' amenities included. The space Spring and summer hit different in the Upper Peninsula. Wildflowers line the hiking trails, waterfalls run at full force, kayak season opens on the cliffs of Pictured Rocks, and on clear nights the Northern Lights paint the sky in ways most people only see in photos. This cedar cabin puts you at the center of all of it — minutes from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Lake Superior beaches, and Grand Marais harbor — then welcomes you back with a crackling fireplace, oversized deck, and a firepit made for staying out under the stars. 4 bedrooms, sleeps 10.
