The Riverland Lodge was the perfect weekend getaway! We were able to relax and enjoy the scenery. The property was very clean and pet friendly, our dog had the best time!
Beautiful property - we saw bald eagles and a flock of turkeys just across the river. Quiet, close enough drive to excellent hiking and sight-seeing, and great for a remote work week.
We had a wonderful time over the Christmas period. Great property, hosts and location. It gave us a chance to make some amazing memories with family. We'll be back!
We visited early spring and the place was very nice. Clean and comfortable and right on the river! It seems like a really great place to be, especially in warmer weather - we came the week of snow and ice so outdoor activities were limited but still enjoyed the getaway.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
We had a great experience. Nice and comfortable, peaceful, and located close to everything we wanted to do. All in all excellent.
Clean, comfortable, well-maintained and well-appointed, in a pleasant location along the water. Only possible improvement might be a bigger master bed. Overall, a really great place!
The cottage was in a beautiful area of Escanaba. However, the entire upper peninsula of Michigan is beautiful. Escanaba has everything you need for a vacation. The upper peninsula has many points of interest. We really enjoyed the Pictured Rocks cruise.
Home was spotless and well appointed. Great communication from the owners and the stay couldn’t have been easier. Especially love the place was dog friendly, check out instructions were easy (no need to strip beds, start laundry, etc!) and the view couldn’t be beat.
This was definitely one of our favorite vacation rentals. Absolutely beautiful! Very peaceful, yet close proximity to town and restaurants, bars, and a casino. We really enjoyed ourselves, and our dog had the time of her life. We highly recommend! We would definitely come back, but we don't vacation in the same area twice. Thanks for providing a true description of your property and amenities. What you see in the photos is what you get...or actually, even better than the photos.
This was our third trip to the Riverland Lodge and as always it was a perfect place! This time we had our 75 year old parents with us and they could not say enough good things about the house and amenities.
Awesome scenic riverside property with Comfortable & cozy home
Riverland lodge is a wonderful vacation getaway. We really enjoyed the picturesque riverfront views from the comfortable & cozy home.
Audra is a very responsive and accommodating host!
Will look forward to staying again!!
Steve and I were born and raised in Escanaba. Riverland Lodge is our dream cabin on the Ford River, we hope you love and enjoy it as much as we do.
