About this space
Come an enjoy the outdoors and relax at our family’s camp. It’s a peaceful retreat. We want to share our experiences with others. We still use it at time. Lots of wildlife in the area and to hear at night when your sitting by the fire. Boat ramp is 1/2 mile away to fish for walleye, bass, pike. Atv trails near by too. There’s 2 restaurants/bars and country stores within 3 miles. A trail that leads down to the water. It’s more of a rustic experience and for an outdoorsy person.
The space
Our camp is located on Raber Bay/ St Marys River system. One bedroom with queen and double bed, with futon in main room. It’s next to state land that’s a huge cedar swamp forest with all the wildlife u.p has to offer. Our property has a trail, that goes down to the water 1/4 mile walk to water. You can hear the freighters engines when it’s quiet or sitting outside having a bonfire. Has a sauna house with a wood stove, and shower inside with an outdoor tankless water heater for showering. Has a shallow well with jet pump and filters. I do have step by step instructions at camp to get the water and heater going it’s pretty easy to do, also I’ll most likely have the water turned on before you get there. NO RUNNING DRINKING WATER THERE , so I encourage you bring a little, I have bottle water there and a jug of water under the kitchen sink with battery powered pump if you prefer to use that not the well water. Does have indoor toilet. It has a kitchen with electric griddle,gas 2 burner stove, mini fridge, microwave, crockpot, coffee pot and all of the cookware and utensils and also a blackstone. One plus is you don’t see anyone else’s house from camp, the people around raber area are very friendly. I have towels and wash clothes for showers, extra sheets and blankets if you stay for awhile. I do have old towels there too, we use for drying our dog off. I do have a fish cleaning table on the side of the sauna house.
Other things to note
I do have a 14 foot boat with an 6 horse 4 stroke motor. That I will rent for 150 dollars for every two days. 400 hundred deposit required and will have rental agreement, boat is for two adults only. You’ll have to stay in raber bay with it. Also if your there to fish I can give you some pointers. Bring rubber boots if you want to walk up the shoreline. You can walk about a mile to the north, I’ve have seen beavers, otters, mink, coyotes, wolves, deer, numerous bird species, bears on camera and bobcat tracks on and around our property.
