Overview
This lakefront property and a dock across the lake is a beach launch a boat!
Pet friendly !! This beautiful cabin is on lake and dock bring your boat sleeps 7 and a nice bathroom with a shower . History about this cabin now called Iron Skillet Back in the 1850s the men would travel Up North Michigan to work in the forest logging and worked long hours then go back to eat and sleep at the cabin . There was no bathroom just a out house on the property and the house was called a skid home that could be moved it needed depending where the next logging job was. Since then there is a bathroom and two bedrooms and some updates but, the original part of the skid home is the kitchen and living room. I decide to name this place the Iron Skillet to bring back history with some Antiques along with it . Its nicely decorated with oil lamps ,wooden bowls that where made in a factory in Musing Mi. near the cabin that close down many years ago. The bathroom is decorated in the out house theme . My Guest that stay here use Iron Skillets and I believe the food taste better!!! Welcome my Guest to the Iron Skillet cabin on the Lake looking forward to your stay !!! The Iron Skillet is located in Wetmore Mi. and its in the Hiawatha Forest and is on lake front property with a private dock to launch a boat just across the beach and dock it at the cabin Great fishing and connected to 5 lakes .Picture Rock and Miners Beach is 30 min away from the cabin. The cabin has all dishes and Iron Skillets to cook with and lines . Guest just bring a beach towel . Casino and Indian River are 30 min away . Spend a few days taking pictures of beautiful water falls like Horse Shoe Falls they are amazing . Enjoy yourself and relax in a hammock and look at the beautiful water and birds. At night enjoy a campfire and begin the next day enjoying the U.P. Wake up enjoy a cup coffee in enclosed porch or seating on a cedar picnic table or cedar swing . I LOVE GOING TO THE CABIN BUT THE HARD PART IS LEAVING THE BEAUITFUL SCENERY !!! ENJOY MY GUESTS AND RELAX !!! Rent a canoe or kayak within 10 min away from the cabin. There is so much more too see a lot of info at the cabin .

WE HAD A LOVELY TIME AT THE CABIN
Beautiful place to stay, thank you
great lake property!
My family and I had a very nice time at the Iron Skillet Cabin this past weekend. We arrived Thursday and left Sunday. My only complaint, I wish we had more time! The cabin is small, but who needs a lot of space when you have the beautiful lakefront yard. The neighbors were very friendly. Overall the lake was pretty quiet and peaceful, even on Saturday and Sunday. Being on the end of the chain of lakes, there is not much boat traffic. Cell phone service is very limited, which we were fine with because it forced us to become unplugged for the majority of the weekend. Our services were US cellular, with very spotty service, and Sprint got no service. The owner did forewarn us about this, so we were prepared.
The cabin is about 30 minutes from Munising, which is a very nice small town. I would recommend doing the Pictured Rocks Tour, but dress warmly! There is a grocery store right in town that you can get anything you need.
We loved our stay, and look forward to coming again in the future!
It is a very nice cabin right on the lake inside Hiawatha forest
We were a family of 4. Did go to Marquette, pictured rocks & shipwreck at Munising, Soo locks, Taquamenon falls, Oswald bear ranch and just driving in the unpaved roads. Cabin has everything to cook, nice sitting area to eat breakfast, two bedrooms and a living area where we used to play poker after dinner. If you are used to live in big house then bedrooms will look small. We used the living room sofa beds. It has a nice campfire pit. Violet was nice to bring us coal, papers and starter fluid. There are two grocery stores 1 and 5 miles distance. Bring mosquito and insect repellents. If you have small kids bring emergency kit and regular medicine for fever, bandaids etc. Fishing from thr dock is quite fun here. Will be good if internet service via satellite is provided. Phones won't work in the cabin. Had to visit grocery store for wifi each day.
A very beautiful relaxing location
My husband and I stayed at The Iron Skillet Cabin for our 25th anniversary. It was a really nice cabin on a beautiful lake. We really enjoyed our time there. The only bummer is that we had to leave a day early because of a family emergency. The bed was very comfortable too, which was nice. While there we took the Pictured Rock cruise, went to marquette to ride the bike trails there and did a bit of hiking to the nearby water falls. No complaints about this cabin!
The cabin was even better then we expected, the lake was better than we expected.
The Iron Skillet was such a nice cozy cabin. Everything you need is there. Lake was bigger than we expected and very pretty.
Clean, updated, and very well decorated. Sitting by the campfire looking out over the lake.....awesome.
Nice small cabin in the wilderness.
We enjoyed the place mostly. It's quiet and beautify by the lake Surrounded with forests.
There is no wifi or cell phone signal which makes it more restful for the vocation for people who came from Chicago.
The only thing that I would mention is that it's a two bedrooms and one bath small little house, which is not listed accurately on home away. If most of the guests are kids, it would work. It is kind of tight for four adaults.
