Fantastic experience.

I called ahead because I would be checking in late. I was given Josh’s phone number and reached out to him to set up a check in time, he was very responsive and kind and was there to show me around at almost 11pm. The room was great, very comfortable bed, big bathroom, and breakfast was great as well.

Quiet paradise

It was historic and unique, walking distance to a local tavern. The staff made us a bonfire and joined my grandson and me for an unwinding evening. We were awakened by the sound of the breakfast bell!!! ( our alarm didn’t go off)! There was a fly fishing shop and I want to go back and renew my skills!

This is our second time staying at the North Branch Outing Club once in 2023 and again in 2025. Our first visit was solid largely in part to the young male housekeeper who greeted us upon arrival, gave us a tour of the house and historical elements, and chatted to us about fishing during the few days we stayed there. All in all it made for a worthwhile trip making us return customers. That brings us to this stay during July 2025. The staff is a mixed bag ranging from very open and helpful to down right cold and rude. We were in the area visiting family and thus did not spend a considerable amount of time on site. Our time on site was intended to participate in the social opportunities staying at a b&b offers - namely breakfast. Its worth mentioning that between my wife, toddler, and myself we probably weigh about 300lbs and really don't eat a lot of food especially in the morning also that I have two dogs in the room upstairs one of them needed to take some pills in the morning. I had very openly taken a small amount of eggs up to my room to use the eggs as a pocket to feed my dog a pill. On the third morning of our four day stay the lady (owner/cook/enforcer) decided it would be a good idea to confront me on my 'brazen' actions. She did so by verbally repremanding me in front of my family and guests on a day that happened to be my birthday - it was embarrassing or both of us. We packed up immediately and left and will not return - mend your manners and keep your eggs lady.

Disliked: Amenities
I truly appreciate the staff’s dedication to preserving the historical character of the facility—it’s clear that a great deal of care has gone into maintaining its authenticity. However, some aspects of the stay were quite unusual and challenging for today’s travelers. The room was very small and lacked modern essentials such as a door lock, microwave, and refrigerator, which are especially important during the summer months. The fan in the open window was not sufficient to maintain a comfortable temperature or humidity level, making it difficult to sleep both at night and during the day. The air-conditioning was non an option. The twin beds were small and not particularly comfortable, which further impacted the quality of rest. The shared bathrooms had non-secured doors, which did not provide peace of mind. Additionally, the breakfast offering was limited to a basic continental selection—an English breakfast was not available during our stay, despite being expected. Given these conditions, we chose not to return the next day and instead made the decision to drive home overnight. That said, we are grateful for the warm and welcoming attitude of the staff, which we truly appreciated. Thank you.

We enjoyed 2 days at this lovely, vintage, lodge. If you like history, antiques, and God's beautiful creation, LOOK no more - THIS is where you want to be. There are 2 very lovely porches to enjoy your book or simply listen to the Au Sable & birds and a few steps down to the river for fishing. Great dining opportunities are close or up to 20 minutes away. We plan to stay here again!!
