MichiganScapes Photography Weekend Workshop
The Hodge Lodge was the perfect place to lay our heads after long days and nights exploring northern Michigan to photograph the landscape and night skies. We met Wayne and Teri upon arriving, and they were always quick to respond to questions or needs. They thought of everything we could want or need for our stay including homemade cherry salsa from their garden and s‘mores kits for the fire. The decor in Hodge Lodge was meticulously curated and fun to look at. We enjoyed editing photos by the indoor fire. The beds were very comfortable. We will be back!

Extremely clean and welcoming cabin. The property is beautiful. Great bonfire setup with string lights that adds a great touch. Beds are very comfortable. The upstairs bedroom was perfect for our daughter and her best friend. Pictures do not do the cabin justice. We really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect cottage in the woods
Our stay was absolutely fantastic, we had a great time with our four year old and it was a peaceful jumping off spot for all of our up north adventures. We would definitely stay again and share the listing with friends looking for a low key up north adventure.

Relaxing and Fun
Spent a couple of days with the family visiting some parks and playing some disc golf nearby also took the short drive to Traverse City.. It was the perfect location for us. The property was very well kept and had everything we needed. Loved the feel of the place, being tucked into the trees. It's a quite and peaceful paradise. It was the escape I was looking for. Would definetely recommend and would stay again when visiting the area. Thanks for letting us stay at the Hodge Lodge Wayne.

Slightly Hidden Gem, Awesome Stay with a great decor
We were in area for a softball tournament and wanted a place that was not in a cramp hotel for me, my wife and our 4 children. This place is beautifully decorated and very inviting. The location is away from the road giving a great quiet place to relax after a long day at the ball field. The beds were comfortable, and everything is provided right down to the smores for the fire. Our kids loved it. The owners were great, and we will defiantly look at staying here in the future if it is available. Enjoy your stay!

Perfect northern MI lodge!
We love the Hodge Lodge! Such a cool place with friendly hosts. It is a renovated barn/garage and is perfect for a family getaway. Very clean and awesome for pets and people of all ages. We loved the property and enjoyed the firepit and the porch swing! Awesome location outside Traverse City and the local lakes.
