Top Spot for Families & Groups
Known as a top destination for getaways and holidays, the lodge is designed for every kind of stay—perfectly positioned with easy access to the best of the Upper Peninsula, from Pictured Rocks and Lake Michigan beaches to casino nights and championship golf. Families find space to slow down and reconnect. Friends arrive for celebratory weekends, golf trips, and stories that last well into the night. Couples settle into riverside mornings, hot tub sunsets, and starlit skies. For anglers, world-class trout water begins just beyond the door.
• Sleeps 12 • 4 bedrooms • 3.5 baths • 3 kings • 1 queen • 3 singles + 1 single rollout
• Expansive deck & patio • 2 fire pits • 7-person hot tub
• Fully equipped kitchen • media lounge • bar & shuffleboard
• Mountain bikes for adults & kids • trails & country roads nearby
• High-speed internet • A/C • trailer & RV parking
Every detail inside and out is designed for comfort, ease, and enjoyment. Airy rooms open to sweeping river views, while the well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and great room flow together so no one is ever left out—whether you’re cooking, playing a game, or curled up on the sofa. Downstairs, the mood shifts to play: a full bar, 9-foot shuffleboard, 75" Roku TV, and Xbox create the ultimate lounge.
With 2,000 sqft of furnished outdoor living, the property invites both relaxation and play. Porch swings and lounge chairs on the deck set the scene with the scent of pine and the steady rush of water. Binoculars in hand, you might spot deer or fox along the riverbank, eagles circling overhead, or otters slipping through the current. Pedal one of the bikes down a quiet country road to Rose Falls, then return to fire up the grill for a casual cookout. As night settles in, fire pits glow, the hot tub steams, and the sky opens wide — the Milky Way arching overhead, with meteors or even the northern lights on the horizon.

Remote pristine beauty in the U.P.!
Honestly, I've stayed at VRBO's for years, and this house was far and away the nicest home yet. From the peaceful setting overlooking the fast flowing Escanaba River; to the gorgeous and "Feng shui" furnishings and art objects everywhere, to the exquisite beds, you will not go wrong with this place, which feels more like a Four Seasons Resort than some poor schlub's home lol!! Did I mention the hot tub?
