Annual Canoe Trip

This was our third year in canoeing group staying at Two Lake Lodge. It's always a great time and the lodge provides plenty of space for our group to be comfortable. You can't beat the setting overlooking the lake. For a large group, Two Lakes Lodge can't be beat!

Great Cabin Experience

Our group loved our time at Twin Lakes Lodge. The Lodge had a good layout for our group inside and the large outside deck gave us additional gathering space. We enjoyed being located next to the lake. We look forward to coming back for another trip!

Family Vacation

We had a group of 14 ranging from 3 to 70! Everyone had plenty of room and things to do. The place was easy to find and had everything we needed in the kitchen cook with feed our huge family. The kids loved to play all day outside and our teens loved to explore the woods during the day. Definitely a place to come to unwind and unplug from the everyday life. We hope to come back!

Plus and minus review

Campfire on the lakeshore very memorable; pleased to find so many beds at a reasonable cost; 20 people in the house; pedal boat and kayaks were put to good use by all; one member fell going up the high deck steps; screen door needs fixing; had trouble locking up with code at checkout

Nice place, but it was pretty hot

We loved the beach (especially the little ones loved it) and boats and the lakes. Deck was nice, too, as was the surrounding property. We caught a good amount of bass on Sand Lake. It was warm inside, though. Pretty much always above 75 degrees, including at night, with the windows open and all the fans going all the time. Quite often it was at least 80 inside. The upstairs bedrooms didn't cool off much at night. Now, to be fair, it was hot outside too (highs during the day of 90 - 95 every day, lows in the mid-60s).

Family vacation in Irons

We had a wonderful time staying at Two Lakes Lodge in Irons, MI. We were a group of 23, 9 adults and 14 children. Before arriving we were a bit concerned that although there were enough beds to sleep in, we might be very cramped because the lodge itself is only 2500 sq Ft. But the layout is well designed and quite efficient so we never felt crowded. The description of the lodge was accurate. The kitchen had every kind of tool or pot or pan we could have needed for a week stay. Having a washer and dryer available was great with so many people. We loved the deck and spent most evenings around the fire pit. The kids spent hours swimming, fishing and rowing around on the kayaks, paddle boat and row boats. The weather wasn’t the best the last couple of days of our stay but we still had fun playing games and fellowshipping with each other. We would definitely return to this VRBO.

Finally found a place we love.

My family has been looking for a place to spend a week every year up north, on a lake. It’s hard to agree on one place and have everyone be happy. This was the first place we’ve stayed at where everyone was happy. It was big enough, had all of the amenities, and the location was almost perfect. Let me just mention some of the things that surprised me, good and bad. -Sand lake is a little small. -But the fishing is awesome. Bass all day. We also caught Crappie, blue gill, and sunfish. -the canal does not connect the 2 lakes and you have to paddle through the narrow canal and through some very shallow areas to get to midget lake. -once you get to midget lake, you can use the trolling motor that is provided. Great fishing. Basically the same as Sand Lake. -the kitchen is currently a little rustic. The drawers, counters , and cabinets are a little rough. -but you can see the homeowners are slowly making improvements. Huge stainless steel sink, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, fancy coffee pot. -the neighborhood was SO peaceful. Most of the week, it felt like we had the lake to ourselves. On the weekend it got a little busier. -it was very clean. No cobwebs, no dust. My last words. Unfortunately, the price has gone up for next year, so we won’t be able to afford to come back. It was already at the top end of our budget. BUT, rightfully so. This house is great. The longer I stayed, the more I loved it. If you can afford it,book it.

We've stayed at Two Lakes Lodge 5 years and love the place and setting. It's well- equipped and our 1o adults and 11 kids fit well. It would be great to have another bathroom and, occasionally, a/c. but overall, it's a great place to gather and spend the week

Annual Old College Buds Weekend

Perfect location, house and property. Will be back. One of the cleanest VRBOs I have rented for its size. Kitchen has more utensils, pots and pans then a Homegoods store. If visiting in the winter heed the instructions and park at top, if you do not have 4 wheel drive and snow tires you may not make it back up the hill.

Annual Family Holiday

The setting is beautiful and very peaceful. The home is spacious and offers many amenities to make it feel relaxing and homey. The lake was crystal clear, fun fishing was had by all and the beach was perfect for sand toys and sun bathing. Alex always responded quickly whenever we had a question which was appreciated. A very enjoyable vacation was had by all!
