Salmon, trout and steelhead are just a cast away, and we would be more than happy to connect you with some of the top fly fishing guides in the country! The main living space in the Lodge offers a beautiful, two story open concept great room tastefully decorated to make you feel cozy and comfortable. The massive brick fireplace adds the perfect atmosphere on a cool fall evening or during the winter. Central air conditioning is an added bonus during Michigan's hot summer days.

We stock dozens of board games, numerous puzzles and our own private library to enjoy during your stay. Free cable TV and free WiFi keep you connected during your stay. The Lodge has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and can sleep up to 12 guests. The "Buck Bedroom" on the main floor has a queen size bed, dresser and large closet. The first floor full bathroom is located adjacent to the bedroom and is accessible off the main hallway. Both the "Steelhead Bedroom" and the "Trout Bedroom" are located on the second floor. Their large floor plans allow for each room to house a queen log bunk bed (queen mattress on top bunk and queen mattress on bottom bunk) a twin bed, a large dresser and a large closet. The second floor full bathroom is located between the bedrooms and offers a full size shower/tub, double vanities and a large closet. Two twin beds nested in the great room on each side of the fireplace add additional sleeping options. The huge back deck with a beautiful view of the woods and a small creek is sure to be a popular gathering place. The deck is large enough for some of your group to be unwinding and relaxing, while others are grilling on the Weber charcoal grill or on the watch for an eagle or deer. Relax at sunset by the fire pit where we supply the wood and chairs and you bring the stories, marshmallows and a cool refreshment. Just as inside the Lodge is stocked with board games, puzzles, DVDs and books, the outside shed is stocked with plenty of activities and games. As a guest you can challenge each other in our horseshoe pit, set up the net to play badminton or volleyball, play large yard Yahtzee, bocce ball, bag toss or lawn darts. There are footballs and frisbees to toss and plastic golf balls and soccer balls to play with. Basically, there's enough options to keep everyone, of all ages, busy and making more fun memories.
