Return Guests

Returned two years after our first stay with an even larger group (15 adults, 11 kids ages 0-7) and still had plenty of space! The kids loved running around the yard, biking and playing in the stream! We took a nice day trip to Pentwater one day which had a very nice beach! The host and property manager/caretaker were both super helpful and responsive!

Back to Nature!

What a fantastic place to just hang out with family in a natural setting. Such a cool thing to see so many deer! If you are looking to unplug, play games, and enjoy time on the front porch, this is the place.

Spacious lodge, private setting for extended family gathering

This comfortable, clean lodge provided everything we needed for a relaxing 4 days with our children, their spouses and the grandchildren. The setting is both secluded and unique. We were able to make short drives to Lake Michigan beaches and to local rivers for kayaking; but most enjoyed coming "home" to this unique and secluded setting.

Amazing Northwoods Lodge

We had a large 5 family reunion at the lodge and it was fantastic. Between Kelly for property rental and Dave for his onsite help we were totally set up for a successful visit. We can’t say enough about the house amenities – the kitchen, dinning areas, sleeping areas, downstairs recreation room and grilling on the back deck – everything was comfortable and spacious. Easy house access for grandparents to go with the first-floor master suites. The wildlife viewing from the front porch alone kept us entertained for hours. Also, plenty of nearby entertainment for the active set with trips to Silver Lake State Park, Ludington and canoeing/kayaking/rafting on the Pere Marquette river. 100% recommend!

Absolutely beautiful!

We loved our stay. We brought our adult children and our grandchildren. Loved the placed. Really appreciated that our adult children had ensuite bathrooms so that we did not have to share. The children loved the bunk rooms. Such a serene place to be. Everything about this place was beautiful and extremely well kept. We even discussed another vacation here in a few years.

We stayed at Allen Creek Lodge in the past and fell in love with the lodge and property. We look forward to our family creating many memories here. In the off-season we love to have families enjoy our lodge and we offer deer hunts from September to December.
