About this property
Only 1 dollar cleaning fee at Pictured Rocks Basecamp on the Manistique River!
Yes, really.
$1 cleaning fee, no matter how long the stay.
You'll be staying in the longest-standing and largest building in Germfask!
The downstairs is set up as a three bedroom apartment with a living space that has a sofa sleeper. Great for kids!
We are centrally located less than an hour's drive to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore! Centrally located in the Eastern Upper Peninsula.
Germfask is less than an hour from Pictured Rocks, minutes from Seney National Wildlife Refuge, and overlooks the Manistique River! Three bedrooms, two baths, spacious apartment with large kitchen, living and dining. Grill out on the patio, fish for trout, or paddle the Manistique, this is the perfect location for those exploring the eastern half of the Upper Peninsula! You are 90 minutes or less to the Soo Locks, Tahquamenon Falls, Kitchi iti kippi, Escanaba, Marquette, and Mackinaw City!
Owner & live in Manager is Tom Funke, Author of 50 Hikes in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and 50 Hikes on the North Country Trail. Feel free to tap into our knowledge of the area when planning your trip.
The Jolly Inn (Restaurant and Bar) is across the street, and Kersh's Market (groceries and package liquor) is a few blocks North within walking distance.
Germfask is the starting point for Snowmobile Trail #43 linking you to Grand Marais, Tahquamenon, and more. It starts 100 yards from our front door at the blinker light.
We are equally distant from the western & eastern ends of the North Country Trail in Pictured Rocks.
This building was once the train station for Germfask.
We also have a resale shop and many vintage pieces and art that are for sale.
