Our family stayed here and we loved it. Close to Traverse City and Fife Lake is very quaint. Very clean and quiet and hosts were communicative and pleasant. We hope to be able to stay here again! Highly recommend!
Absolutely gorgeous little get away! We were able to prep a good meal for our ball players nightly and always had the best hospitality when it came to checking to make sure the AC was working and even asked how the ball team was doing! Highly recommend a stay here, and will look into it again!
My family stayed here for the weekend because we had a soccer tournament to go to. We loved the location, Wayne was so nice and the place is adorable. We would love to come back!
We had a wonderful time! We came up for a family getaway. The home and property are beautiful and so peaceful! Wayne and Teri were very kind and great hosts! The kids played in the yard and loved the loft, the pup had plenty to explore and s'more's to end the night! We all wish we could have stayed longer!
We had the best stay at the Hodge Lodge - it's even more impressive than the pictures. From its serene setting to the thoughtful touches that made our stay so enjoyable, Wayne and his wife have one of the best vacation rentals out there! Highly recommend, and we will be back!
We really liked this place! Was very clean and really loved the set up. The owner was so nice and gave us tips on places to see. Highly recommend this place and will stay here again.
The Hodge Lodge was perfect, my husband and I enjoyed everything about. The cabin was very well maintained, bed was comfortable, very clean and just a great place to stay. One of the best rentals we have stayed at. Our dogs enjoyed themselves as well.
We LOVED everything about this place! It was so cozy and clean. We had so much fun here for our first family vacation with our little one. We will definitely be back!

Our stay was absolutely fantastic, we had a great time with our four year old and it was a peaceful jumping off spot for all of our up north adventures. We would definitely stay again and share the listing with friends looking for a low key up north adventure.
My family, my dogs and I were delighted with the cabin, everything very clean, very cozy and with all the comforts.. thank you very much for everything!! A highly recommended place to spend a vacation!!
My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at The Hodge Lodge. The hosts were fantastic and very attentive. House has everything you need and then some. We cannot wait to saty again!
This was an amazing place to stay and the Hosts were very communicative and respectful! Great family history at this location that added to the charm of the property. We are even thinking about booking again in the winter!
The cabin had everything we needed. Immaculately clean, decor was super cute! We loved that it was a little out of the hustle and bustle but still close enough. Owners were very responsive when we had questions. Would most definitely stay again! Very highly recommend!
Lovely visit - cabin was comfortable, cozy and and ideal for unwinding in front of the gas stove inside, porch swing or outdoor fire pit. Wildlife was special and the location get remote although it is close to Traverse City.
This cabin is so cute. Super clean with comfy beds. The host thought of so many little extras to make it feel like home. This was a perfect place for a family vacation.
