About this property

Vacation home sleeps 20, Close to Lake Superior & Very private.

The Sugar Maple Lodge is located on 20 wooded acres with trails throughout the property. The lodge is located nine miles north east of Munising at the edge of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Open year round, The Sugar Maple Lodge will easily accommodate up to 20 guests in the three bedrooms on the main level along with one full bathroom and one half bathroom upstairs. Also for the larger groups there is an extra bathroom with a shower in the laundry area. There is also a bunk house style sleeping area on the lower level with two log bunk beds, a futon, and a queen sized log bed. The lower level sleeping area also has an electric fireplace along with a flat screen TV with Satellite TV. The living room has Netflix TV and a DVD player with many dvd's to choose from, comfortable furnishings and patio doors that open to a wrap around deck and table for your enjoyment. The full kitchen includes microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishwasher, oven, fridge, dishes, utensils and pots/pans. The lower level also has a laundry room with a washer and coin operated dryer. The lodge has a very large, but very private yard with a fire pit and a picnic table to kick back and relax. Lake Superior is just minutes away from The Sugar Maple Lodge, so book your vacation today! There are additional charges for groups larger than ten guests. There also is no longer a hot tub, for some reason i am unable to completely remove all hot tub info from listing

Snowmobile rendezvous

Our family and friends enjoyed a very relaxing and scenic stay at the Lodge. Tim is a very attentive host and his property is very well equipped for a large group! There was ample parking, a heated attached garage, and plenty of beds/bedding for our group.

Beautiful Cabin!

Tim is an amazing host!! His beautiful cabin sits on such beautiful, well kept property. This house was more than big enough to sleep 4 families (moms and kids) with room to spare. Tim went above and beyond to be accommodating and keeps his property extremely clean. We will definitely be returning for future trips.

UP is Beautiful!

Our trip was so good that we are already talking about how to come again next year. The house was clean and well kept. The yard is like a park with plenty of room for the kids to run around. The location is great being so close to Pictured Rocks, Munising, and even only an hour from Marquette. It was initially a surprise that the owner Tim stays on the property as well, but he was very helpful in suggesting hikes (which were amazing) and it was actually helpful when the neighbors shot off some fireworks late at night. I would absolutely recommend this home for a large group like ours - so many great memories from this trip!

Five Stars - Great Property to Stay!

Sugar Maple Lodge is a great place for our first Family Trip to UP Michigan. Its location is remote / private, but yet still very close to Pictured Rock National Lakeshore. There is plenty of parking space. Sugar Maple Lodge is very spacious for our large group, and variety of bedding options available which fits our need. Property was very clean and very well maintained. Tim is a great host and made sure our stay there is very comfortable. Despite the historic Elliot Winter Storm / Blizzard passed through the area, he did a great job plowing the snow from driveways. Downstairs Bedroom was with additional sleeping capacity was very useful. We will definitely stay here again (for our next UP Michigan Tour)

Family Vacation

Beautiful property. The house was spotless! Great kitchen with all kinds of pots, pans and dishes! Bob fire pit with chairs. You can buy firewood right there for $5 a bundle. Corn hole boards my family enjoyed! Large yard! Great covered porch. Could use more chairs. Three rooms upstairs, two of which had a double bed and a bunk bed, the other had two bunk beds. Downstairs had a large room with a double bed, a futon and two bunk beds. Our only complaints were the mattresses were hard and not the most comfortable, I’d recommend to bring your own pillows they were flat. Also it was advertised that there was a hot tub and there was not. I messaged host and he said they hadn’t had it in 15 yrs. Site should be updated. It would make a great place for hunters, snowmobilers and Atvers. Our family did enjoy their time there.

Not 2 bathrooms

The home is situated on a very pretty lot in the woods, quiet and private. There were several things about the house that were disappointing to me, however. The listing is very misleading relative to the bathrooms. The listing states that there are two bathrooms- but there are really only 1.5. There is one with toilet, sink, shower/tub. The other is accessible only through one of the bedrooms on the main floor and only has toilet and sink and an unlockable door that does not fully cover the opening to the bathroom. Then there is also a free standing shower in the basement with no lighting above the shower or heat or place to hang your towel- you can't see to shower in this room. It is open the rest of the basement. Which is were the laundry is. The listing states washer and dryer. The dryer is quarter operated and the owner told me the washer soon would be too. The fact that the laundry is coin operated was not disclosed in the listing and I did not come prepared with rolls of quarters to do laundry. The dryer is older and can not support drying a truly full load of laundry in one run either. The furnishings are nice, but we all noticed the couches in the living room smell of dog. The house was very clean upon arrival. The listing states that the house can sleep 20. This is true, but the only table to eat at in the house seats 4, expandable to about 6 with folding chairs the owner provides. My personal opinion is that this house could not support more than 6 people realistically- as all have to share the one shower. The view is pretty, and the hot tub is very nice, cared for, and clean. The house is well kept, but the listing is not accurate. Given the inaccuracies in the listing, primarily the bathroom situation and the inability to have a meal with more than 6 people at a time comfortably while advertising "sleeps 20", I am giving a "Fair" rating. Further, for what this house is, $240 / night is overpriced in my opinion when I compare it the many other VRBO homes I have stayed in.

Wonderful Home

This is a fantastic place for a snowmobile trip. Plenty of parking for the snowmobile trailers and the trails were close by. The house was very spacious for the 10 of us and there was plenty of room for more people. Also, the house was well stocked with all the necessities. Very nice home and will be staying there again next year!

Fabulous!

The property is beautiful! Tim does a great job with flowers and maintaining a gorgeous lawn. It was far nicer than the pictures. The location is good. You are close to hikes and not far from Munising. We had a family reunion in the house. There was plenty of room for 10 people to sleep. I highly recommend this property. Tim is an amazing host! He also sells maple syrup that you won’t want to miss!
