This was such a beautiful property and made our family vacation that much better! We loved spending time on the spacious back porch and spending the early mornings on the bench swing overlooking the lake. My daughter loved the sandbox and all of the room outside to runaround on. It was the perfect place for our family.

Always a great stay at the Larks Lake Lodge

This was our second year gathering at the Larks Lake Lodge and yet again it did not disappoint. Winter or summer, It’s a perfect fit for large groups or families. The kids love the paddle boat and room to play both outside and in.

Ski weekend with four families

Great location for skiing at Nubs. Very spacious for adults and kids to spread out. The lake would have been fun if it had been cold enough for safe ice. Looking forward to another stay in the future.

Larks Lake Lodge was clean, well stocked with amenities, and we especially enjoyed the game room area. Beautiful setting overlooking the lake and easy access with vehicles, being able to pull in to the driveway from the lake side of the lot and exit on the side behind the house, with plenty of parking in between. Comfortable beds. Strong WiFi. A quiet get-away, yet a short drive to down hill skiing, restaurants, and in the winter, able to access the snowmobile trail system across the road. Recommend highly.

Great place with friends

This place was perfect for 4 couples and visiting northern Michigan in July. The house was clean and the layout was ideal for our group. We also enjoyed playing shuffleboard in the evenings. Mouse Jaw Junction was a short walk through the woods and the food was great. Great time overall!

Great place for a family!

This was great for our family of 6! Lots of space to spread out if we wanted, but cozy enough to be all together too. It had everything we needed for all the cooking we wanted to do. The swing by lake was a favorite spot of ours. Response time from the owners when we had a small issue was timely.

Adorable peaceful cabin

We had the best time at the cabin, it was warm, cozy, and beautiful. The views outside the window were stunning. Check-in was smooth, and we were able to check in sooner than the designated check-in time. Being that we were traveling with 3 kiddos, and had a 7 hour drive, it was SUPER convenient so get in the house an hour earlier instead of spending another hour in the car. Will definitely return!
