Hi! We're Justin & Brittany. We are your hosts. Welcome!
So who are we? Just simple people striving to support our family in this crazy world. We are a family of 4 with the coolest dog (Pippin) and 2 cats (Bagheera "the Lodge Panther" & Buttercup the kitten). We came to the U.P. in 2014 ultimately wanting something different from the everyday 9 to 5 grind. We found the lodge for sale online, made the drive all the way from lower Western Michigan for a showing and decided... why not?! We found the Lodge to be very unique and had incredible potential. We went home with a vision and had our bags packed to head north on a U.P. adventure in a matter of weeks. And, an adventure it truly has been! This place has been our labor of love ever since.
For over 10 years, we've immersed ourselves in our community and made it our mission to essentially live like tourists (when we can between hosting, housekeeping, & reno's) so that we can pass along our experiences to our guests. Our area is a recreation hot spot in all seasons and personally, we dabble in a bit of everything! From motorized sports to non-motorized sports, we have tons of recommendations and personal experience that you won't get at any ordinary accommodation. Currently, our "tween-age" kids have us deep into Hockey & skiing/snowboarding in the winter, and off-roading and hiking in the summer. We'll send you to only the best places and if we are ever unsure then we most likely have a community contact who can help. Guests contribute to our knowledge base as well. We enjoy getting to know you and hearing about your daily adventures.
We look forward to hosting you soon!
