My friends and I used the lodge as a place to stay for our golf weekend for my brothers bachelor party. We are all outdoor fans and hunters as well as golfers and the spot was perfect. Will definitely stay again and would recommend the place to anyone.

We had a group of 16 friends up for a golf trip and Paul’s property provided us with everything we needed and more. The house was exceptional and provided us with a great spot to relax after our days on the course. He was very helpful and made sure that we had everything we needed. We will definitely look to rent with Paul again in the future.

Even Better Than Expected
I cannot say enough great things about this property. Twelve guys spent a weekend for a bachelor party and had more than enough space. Each guy had their own queen sized bed. We had guys ask Paul the brand of mattresses/pillows - that's how comfortable they were. The lodge was fully stocked with everything we could have needed. There are 2 full size refrigerators and a beer fridge right in the living space. It was spotless. The pictures don't do it justice. Right outside the lodge is a large pond where the deer hung out in the evenings, and a huge firepit with plenty of wood. There is a huge flat field for yard games/activities. We saw plenty of wildlife - deer, turkey, turtles, etc. and hiked the trails. We will definitely be back.

The Best of The Best…
I can’t say enough about this one of a kind property. If you are looking for a place that can not only accommodate 16 guys comfortably for a weekend, but is also the most amazing piece of Michigan property you will ever witness….this is it! Comfortable beds, giant beer cooler, amazing fire pit with wood to burn. On top of all that, take a quick hike and see some of the most amazing Whitetail Deer on this massive piece of property, gated like you are entering Jurassic Park. Paul is a great host and communicated with us from start to finish. Can’t wait to return.
