Freestanding fireplace gives a relaxing glow while watching the beautiful sunsets. One mile to ORV, snowmobile and equestrian trails. Close to the TART biking and hiking trails, 18 hole disk golf course, lakes, casinos, wineries and shopping. Pets are welcome for a small additional fee.

Lovely and Unique home. Very very clean, and well stocked kitchen with beautiful dishes, silver, etc. The hosts Wayne (Teri was out of town) was most gracious. He visited with us, brought us tomatoes, pickles and lavender from his gardens. We will go back.

We had a quiet girls weekend to celebrate our friend who will be married next month and our stay couldn’t have been lovelier. The property was extremely well kept, and the inside of the cabin is even more cozy and inviting than the listing pictures make it out to be. This was a 10/10 stay for all of us!

A hidden gem in the Pines

Very clean, neat, peaceful, had everything we needed. Stocked coffee pods and fixins! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the outdoor shower looking up at the sky and the pines was incredible. The hosts were great, very friendly. Fun family games to choose from and shuffle board! Will stay here again and also recommend to friends and family! Five stars!

We had our girls trip and the place was absolutely beautiful, exactly what we was looking for. The host was very accommodating and was blowing off the seats by the fire pit for us when we arrived. He was a very courteous host and they had a lot of extra amenities available.

Excellent stay

Perfect for the family of six we had. Close to everything traverse City and wine country including the sand dunes. Very clean and updated, we only had one night for a bonfire. Wish we had more time at the cabin but we were busy with a wedding. I would recommend for anyone!

Weekend Stay for a Softball Tournament

Our stay was amazing. Wayne and Teri made the entire process simple. They answered all questions super quickly, check-in was as simple as going to the cabin and opening the door (with the keypad). The cabin was cute and clean and had everything we could have possibly needed and way more. My daughter loved the smores' and the fire pit was perfect and all set to use. We would 100% stay here again. We had a great time. The only negative is we were gone for softball a lot and would have enjoyed having more time to hangout in the cabin. Thanks for the great stay.

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!
