Beautiful Log Home on Lake Michigan - Only 15 minutes from Escanaba

The “Great Lake Lodge” is a custom built LOG CABIN! This handcrafted log home sits on the shore of Lake Michigan, just a 15 minute drive to Escanaba. Huge red and white pine logs make up the structure of the home, making the lodge warm, strong, unique and timeless. The lodge lets you experience that rustic camp feeling without sacrificing modern amenities. The large yard gives your family ample room for outdoor play, and relaxation. A large outdoor living space (Deck) for having your morning coffee watching the sun rise directly in front of you, and a firepit for evening campfire and smore making. For our ATV guests, we are just 400 feet from the trail system.

The Lodge is very clean and well kept, with all new linens and furniture throughout. We pay very close attention to every detail when cleaning and sanitizing our home in preparation for our guests.

The Lodge is equipped with Wi-Fi, and a Smart T.V. with Hulu Live and movies. Washer and dryer, dishwasher and gas grill are provided for your convenience. Kayaks are available for rent, please send your inquiry for pricing and availability.

Pets are considered, please inquire first. We will send you our pet policy and if you are able to meet the requirements of our pet policy we will allow 1 pet at our home. A small pet fee is required by our cleaning service if you are bringing a pet.

We know this will be a special place for your family as it has been for ours. The "Great Lake Lodge" has created many memories for our family, and we hope it will for yours as well.

Beautiful family friendly property

My family was visiting for a wedding and we found this property beautiful, welcoming and well appointed. The pre check in information was exactly what we needed to make sure we brought the necessary things (but didn’t over pack). We loved the outdoor space and our children loved the bunk beds and loft bedroom so much they didn’t want to come home. Will absolutely request to stay again.

Family Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin for the second time. This is a nice place to getaway with our family of 5 from the busyness of everyday life. We stayed 3 nights, only left the cabin once for gift shopping.

Beautiful view and beautiful house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The kids loved the ping pong in the basement and the adults loved having a glass of wine on the deck and viewing the lake. The beach and fire pit were super nice as well. One minor complaint was that the neighbors were kind of loud. Other than that, it is a home run!

Spring break getaway

The lodge was warm and cozy while the snow and rain blew off the lake. We loved playing ping pong and arcade games. It was easy to hook up Spotify to the Roku so we could listen to music while playing games. The kids didn’t want to leave.

Beautiful log cabin on the lake

We spent a long weekend at this beautiful log cabin. It was exceptionally clean, well-equipped and decorated. The view was stunning, and the owner was very responsive. We highly recommend staying here for a U.P. Retreat.

Absolutely amazing

House and location are absolutely amazing. We had an amazing time and being able to buy firewood right on site was awsome. Very quite area. Be aware that this house is close to time zone chamge so your phone will sometimes change back an hour. Also there is a shower in the upstairs bath making it so there are 2 showers which is amazing when having 2 couples getting ready at the same time for a day of fun u.p. adventure. The only thing we didn’t like is that we had to leave and come back home to work.

Long weekend on north Green Bay

The cabin is fantastic with more amenities than expected (like extra batteries and flashlights). It's all new, on the water, and it's a quiet spot. There is good hiking within minutes and the water is easy to access especially for the dog. The host answered all questions immediately. We loved the place!

Great Weekend Get-Away

We had an amazing stay at the lodge! Absolutely as described. The best supplied kitchen of all our previous rentals. The setting is relaxing and peaceful. Close enough to town that you can run and pick up whatever you needed. Owner was very responsive. The paddle boat was unexpected, but so fun! Perfect weekend!

Clean Cabin with Some Nice Extras

The property was in great shape, obviously not very old, and was very clean. We enjoyed the back porch, firepit, and bench swing -- all overlooking the lake. Owner was very responsive by both text and email the two times I contacted him to ask a question.

Wonderful view of Lake Michigan

Our family had a great time at the cabin. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes, cups, and mugs for our party. There was plastic cups & plates/bowls for the kids. The pans and bakeware were great too. Internet via Satellite was less than desirable but likely only option, so we completely understand. AT&T cell service in this area was SOS. We made multiple trips to Escanaba to check voicemail/text/etc due to the lack of service (I was on call-- so if you are "on call" don't be on call while here--- use this time to decompress.) Recommendations to AT&T mobile customers: Print off check in instructions prior to arrival so that you will have the check in information & lock code.

Great Getaway

This family of 4 had a great time at this very well-maintained home. The property is newer, which obviously helps, but you can tell that there is a focus on cleanliness and organization. I say this having rented 3-4 properties per year for the last 7-8 years across multiple states. The view of Lake Michigan is remarkable. The surroundings quiet and peaceful. 15 min. away from major grocery chain and whatever else you need. If you like to cook then I suggest waiting to see what is already on-hand as there was an array of spices, flour, sugar, pots, pans, baking dishes, etc. already available. We made the 1.5 hour trek north to catch the Pictured Rocks boat cruise in Grand Marais. There is a fantastic disc golf course 30 min. away, if that's your thing. Lots of options for outdoor enjoyment. Or, you could simply spend days relaxing around the property soaking up the lake. Finally, Dave was super responsive to any and all needs. I have not typically engaged much with a property owner in the past, but I had a somewhat comical set of various personal issues arise that Dave graciously assisted with during my stay. We hope to return in the near future.

Good views

Beautiful location and views. Felt very private and quiet. Brought our two dogs with permission from host who also had a blast. The only downside was charging extra for firewood and kayaking when the price of the house is already expensive. Would come again however.
