Private Riverfront Lodge · Sleeps 21 · Kayaks

Your River. Your Peninsula. Your People.

Tucked onto 2.3 wooded acres wrapped by the Thunder Bay River, this 5,100 sq ft riverfront lodge is a rare find: a true peninsula that gives your whole group the run of the water and total privacy. With 6 bedrooms plus a massive bunk room, 6.5 baths, and comfortable sleeping for 21, it's built for the reunion, the retreat, the wedding weekend, or the fishing trip everyone talks about for years.

Room to spread out and room to come together
Three separate living rooms and two dining areas mean no one's ever on top of each other. Gather around the gas fireplace, settle in for a movie and video games, or drift out to the large deck overlooking the river. Below it, a shaded patio; off the kitchen, a side patio with the grill fired up and ready.

Sleeping arrangements (comfortable for 21):

4 King bedrooms each with its own private ensuite & TV
1 King bedroom with a private half-bath & TV
1 Queen bedroom with TV
Huge bunk room — 3 Queen beds + twin bunks - These are adult bunk beds
Plus 2 full shared baths for everyone else
550 feet of River Frontage on Thunder Bay River
Horse Pit
Tetherball
Three living rooms plus a bonus sitting room
Large deck and patios and firepit

The Thunder Bay River is slow moving and glassy perfect for lazy paddles and genuinely excellent fishing for bass, pike, and panfish. We provide 8 kayaks, so the whole crew can hit the water at once. Back on shore, gather around the firepit as the sun goes down, or keep the friendly competition going with tetherball and a horseshoe pit.

The essentials, handled

Fully stocked kitchen for group cooking
Gas grill on the side patio
Gas fireplace + three living areas
Video games for downtime
Fast WiFi throughout
Large deck, lower patio & side patio
Welcome to Atlanta, Michigan the Elk Capital
You're in the heart of Northern Michigan's elk country, where herds roam wild and the nights are dark enough to see the stars. Paddle, fish, hike, or simply do nothing at all this is the kind of place where the whole family finally unplugs.

Whether it's a multi-generational reunion, a corporate retreat, or a bucket-list fishing weekend, this riverfront peninsula was made for gatherings that matter.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 6.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 7 bedrooms. The vacation home also includes a washing machine.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property was beautiful both inside and outside. Rooms were clean and very well-appointed. Kayaks were a pleasant bonus. The check-in instructions were detailed and helpful. We also used the firepit which was nice. The location is ideal, close to Upper Peninsula, Sleeping Bear dunes and Mackinac Island. I would recommend this cabin to friends and family and stay here again.
