Paul Bunyan's Log Cabin

Description from the owner

If an escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life is what you’re looking for, we have the perfect vacation spot for you.

Nestled in the gentle hills of Oscoda, Michigan, Paul Bunyan’s Log Cabin Retreat welcomes visitors with old-world charm of a rustic architectural style and hospitality that only a man 63 axe handles tall can offer. Here you can relax and reunite with your inner naturalist, basking in the warm sun, taking in the cool evening breeze and feeling the earth under your feet.

At this quaint cabin of unusual proportions, you will be welcomed through rough-hewn doorways to a guest home furnished with handcrafted..., outsized furniture, huge fireplace and several fully stocked pantries full of venison and homegrown fruits and vegetables. For the vacationer looking to get away from it all and finally pen that grand novel you’ve always known you have deep inside, there is nothing more pure or simple than enjoying the good life in the glow of a cozy fire with a quill pen in your hand.

For guests wishing to stay in touch with the age of modernity, the cabin features an axe and lumber for exercise, on-site laundry facilities located in the crystal clear stream flowing across the bottom of the path and communication via horseback-carried parchment scroll.

Activities at Paul Bunyan’s retreat feature forestry classes, fishing, blue cattle ranching and socializing around a table well provisioned with many varieties of Bunyan’s homebrew ales. For the fashion aficionado, seminars on exotic flannel styles are offered regularly. Take in the world-renown lumberjack contests and test your mettle against the greatest who ever felled a forest with one mighty swing. If you can hew a canoe with the ease of tying a shoe or if you’ve ever built national landmarks with your bare hands, then you just might have what it takes to stand tall among the giants of the sport.

So head out to the wilderness and get away from it all! Visit Paul Bunyan’s Log Cabin Retreat and find larger than life hospitality.Read more

  Nice, but a bit too tranquil for my tastes

  Good ol' Paul's place is a nice spot to put yer feet up and rest a spell. Good food and some a them lumberjackin' contests can be a real hoot. Wish there was a little more excitement sometimes, could use a few tornadoes to tame once in a while, but all in all it's a fine place to relax. I'll drop in again when I'm passin' through.

  Great return to the wild frontier

  When I tire of politics, I know my friend Paul always has just the thing I need at his guest lodge. The hunting is always superb and nothing clears the head like a lungful of clean air. Fantastic food and room service for when I would rather not skin and gut the kill myself. Will return again next congressional recess.
