Winter, spring, summer, or fall, Porcupine Mountains Rustic Cabins provide a close-up view of the awesome Porkies — the affectionate moniker Yoopers give to this small Michigan range. Depending on the season, you can hike, swim, canoe, or ski in this beautiful area in Michigan. Wildlife enthusiasts like that the vicinity hosts a large black bear population, too! Set up “camp” here and you’ll be right in the heart of some of nature’s best panoramas.

The Rustic Cabins in Porcupine Mountains State Park are truly that: rustic. They’ll allow you a view of the mountain and the gorgeous wooded terrain they speckle. Mirror Lake Bunk is featured here.
