Perfect for a family vacation. There was plenty of room for each “family” to have their own living quarters. The top level looks newly remodeled/ more modern. The bottom floors are more old style cabin feel. Lots of firewood. My dog enjoyed all the outdoor exploring. Located in between Marquette and Munising Recommend 10/10.

Getaway up North.

We had a very nice stay away from the heat of Ky. We rented a boat to go to Pictured Rocks which was stunning. Also went to various falls and went kayaking. We built some nice fires and really enjoyed the area. The lodge was extremely well stocked. If you enjoy the outdoors there is plenty of hikes and activities. Lake Superior is very close with plenty of roadside turnoffs so you can get to the beach.

Trip for graduation

The perfect place for nature lovers, for those that enjoy the outdoors, and for those that prefer to stay away from the crowds. Plenty of space for large groups, with plenty of full bathrooms. Lovely and peaceful surroundings, accented by the beautiful Laughing Whitefish river. The rainy/cold weather did not stop us, and we even enjoyed a time around a bonfire. You may enjoy Munising and Marquette, and anything in between by staying at Whitefish Lodge. We absolutely loved our stay in this place.

Wonderful property and location!

We stayed here for a family vacation, and the layout was great for 5 siblings, our parents, our children, and our doggos! We chose this property for its size to accommodate us all, and we all agreed it was a great choice, and the location and beauty of the property was a wonderful added bonus! The river on the property was beautiful; the firepit & huge supply of firewood was a big hit, and we thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space! The interior was very clean, and everything was extremely well stocked, cookware, linens, etc. Washer & dryer was great to have too! Enclosed porch by the river was lovely too, one teenager camped out in there :) Location was nicely central to our visits to beaches, Pictured Rocks, rock hunting, waterfall chasing, and close enough to civilization to get groceries, etc. We are already talking about when we can return!

Perfect family get together

We got together for our son’s wedding in Marquette. The upstairs was the perfect meeting area with large kitchen and living room. The upstairs has two bedrooms with two queen beds each and plenty of room for our family members. The downstairs has two units with two separate bedrooms in each units, each with queen beds. Plenty of showers, hot water to get everyone ready for the wedding. All communication with Nikki was perfect. No issues at all and would highly recommend this VRBO. It worked out great for us. Thanks Nikki.

House was excellent

Our stay was wonderful, we had a bear cross the yard on our first morning!The house is perfect for large groups who want to travel together but still want a little separation! They provided so many extras that normally do not come with rentals, which was much appreciated!Nikki provided prompt and easy communication with questions we had and with the check-in/check-out process. We would definitely stay here again.

The house and property were wonderful. Plenty of room for everyone and the fire pit was a definite plus. We would recommend this as a great option for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the great outdoors without sacrificing comfort and all the modern conveniences of home.

Amazing place

This is the perfect place for family to get together. We loved that there was a large common area that could fit everyone at once but there was also places for people to go for privacy. Place was super nice and clean and extremely well stocked! We are already talking about coming back again. Would highly highly recommend this spot to anyone!
