About Us
Fresh Coast Cabins is an adventure brand based in the Keweenaw Peninsula with 10 cabins and a pretty sweet suite peering on the edge of Lake Superior. We love to hike, bike, and be outside as much as possible but tent camping is for the birds. We bring the cozy cabin vibes and value lots of time to explore the nooks and crannies of the vast Lake Superior shore or tuck into that book you’ve been meaning to read. It is our mission to provide an incredible getaway experience with clean, cozy, and curated cabin spaces.
