SLEEPS: 8
BEDROOMS: 2
BATHROOMS: 1
LAKEFRONT ON UPPER HOLMES NO WAKE LAKE
SWIMMING ON PROPERTY: YES
Welcome to your cozy escape in Michigan's breathtaking Upper Peninsula, nestled along the tranquil shores of Upper Holmes Lake. Tucked away in the woods and perched right on the water, this private lakeside lodge offers the perfect setting for peaceful retreats and cherished memories. The lodge comfortably sleeps up to eight guests and invites you to slow down and savor the simple joys of nature. Whether you're paddling across the calm, no-wake waters in one of the two rowboats, the canoe, or the paddleboat, or enjoying a refreshing swim just steps from the door, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Mornings are best spent with a warm mug on the deck, watching the mist rise off the lake, while evenings bring campfires, laughter, and starry skies. Far from the noise, yet filled with warmth and charm, this hidden gem is where family, friends, and quiet moments come together in perfect harmony.
