We recently enjoyed a wonderful family winter getaway to this beautiful property! We had a group of 22 people ranging in age from young to old. The drive back to the cabin was so pretty! The cabin and other smaller cabin fit our whole group perfectly and was very cozy inside with the warm fire going and beautiful view of the lake! The kitchen was well stocked and spacious which was very helpful when cooking inside for 22 people:) It was great having two refrigerators! The beds were very comfortable and everything was nice and clean. We enjoyed campfires outside and used our snowmobiles and 4- wheeler on the property and the lake, We had several tip ups in and had some luck catching and releasing some nice perch. The sauna was also a nice option to have and was used each day. We enjoyed this place so much we already have it booked for next year! Thank you Nikki & Mike for the great communication! We look forward to making more memories at this property in the future!

This was a great property for our family reunion. We had 14 adults and 5 kids. The lake was great. We had a fire in the outdoor fire pit every night. Lots of room for the kids to run and play. Kitchen was well stocked with lots of pans/utensils to use. We could all fit around the big table for meals.

Check in and enjoy.

Just bring some food and friends and enjoy a scenic drive to the lodge. Once you arrive everything you need is there ready for you to enjoy the private lake in the scenic northern Michigan forest with your friends. Note: If you go in the Winter, you may want 4-wheel drive. Some the hills can be hard to get up if its snowy.

Extended family gathers each year for Thanksgiving celebration with crafts, wreath making, puzzles, outdoor activities and good food. Your lodge had plenty of space to set up and leave up all the activities we had planned. A real Thanksgiving snow added to the excitement and the deer feeding outside the windows was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you for helping us along the way.

Perfect lodge

Great connecting spot for our group- 13 guys all had tons of room and beds as well as plenty of bathrooms. Was a great spot for the different ORV trails we rode in the area. Good Restaurants are about an hours drive so I would consider cooking in or planning to spend at least 2 hrs round trip for some of the great choices or food in the area, from Iron city to Marquette. Overall great place with an awesome lodge and the sauna was icing on the cake for me. Would stay again.

Serene lakeside retreat

We had an amazing stay at this property! The place was excellent with plenty of space both inside and out. The entire property was quiet and very clean, making it a perfect retreat. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive to all our questions, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The amenities were fantastic, with plenty of row boats, canoes, and kayaks available, plus a floating platform that added to the fun. The lake itself was very clean and teeming with wildlife, including crawfish, bluegill, perch, and even trout. It was a delight to explore and fish. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway!

Amazing Place

Dear Mike & Nikki, Our family can't thank you enough for the incredible hospitality you extended to us at your serene retreat. It was the perfect setting for our large family to reconnect and make lasting memories. The tranquility of the surroundings, the pet-friendly environment, and the absence of other renters allowed us to truly unwind and enjoy each other's company. The amenities were outstanding. From the cozy cabin to the spacious lodge, every detail was thoughtfully considered. We loved gathering around the huge fire pit, roasting marshmallows, and sharing stories under the starlit sky. The sauna provided a luxurious touch, and the multiple gas grills made meal preparation a breeze. The highlight, of course, was the breathtaking 30-acre lake. It was a joy to fish, swim, and explore in the rowboats and canoes you generously provided. The knowledge that we had this pristine oasis all to ourselves made the experience even more special. The surrounding 160-acre property, with its scenic trails and abundant wildlife, offered endless opportunities for adventure. We appreciated your commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the area, including the measures you've taken to protect the lake's ecosystem. We will cherish the memories we made at your wonderful retreat for years to come. Thank you again for sharing your piece of paradise with us. With deepest gratitude, The Entire Marsh Family

Secluded lake property

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The bedrooms are spacious and the additional cabin is a very nice bonus for us grandparents to get our own peace and quiet. Everyone loved the large living and dining areas, the fully equipped kitchens and laundry room. We never had to leave the property as there was plenty to do. Fishing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking and swimming. We loved the supply of wood for the firepit and used it every night Stargazing is amazing too. We definitely have this property on our list to return to

Extended family trip

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. The access to the lake, the beautiful home, the remote location and the amenities available were perfect. Our kids caught many fish, used the canoes and kayaks daily and loved the lodge atmosphere. The owners were extremely accommodating. There was even an instance where a tree fell down after a storm, and the owners immediately removed it, which was above and beyond. We had an amazing time and would highly recommned!

Paradise in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

The 5 mile drive on a bumpy 2-track is well worth it when you reach the lodge and cabin on 160 acres with it's own private lake. We very comfortably slept over 20 men in the ample sleeping quarters. But the real gem is the huge gathering space in the main lodge. Beautiful views of the lake out one side and a kitchen/bar area on the other. A great place to congregate.

While I was a bit surprised by the remote location of the property (getting there seemed like miles and miles of narrow, winding road) the property met our needs very well. Having the lake to ourselves was definitely a plus. All in all a great place!
