The property was exactly as describe. There was plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy themselves without being on top of one another.There was a total of 28 of us that made it and we had a blast. They have everything you need at the lodge such as plenty of towels, dishes, pots and pans, small appliances, games, movies, and a breath taken view of Lake Superior. I would definitely stay again. I would recommend this property. The only problem I had was that we didn’t get any snow other than that it was a perfect stay. We still got to do some snow tubing at a near by ski resort.
We rented the Pinewood Lodge to host our immediate families for a small wedding. It was the perfect spot to have everyone. The lodge and location are beautiful with gorgeous views overlooking Lake Superior. There was plenty of space to fit our crew of 22 people. The location was perfect, right between Marquette and Munising. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue!
Perfect place for our family to gather. Beautiful, peaceful, private, and clean. The Lodge had everything we needed. 5 stars!
Property was super clean and well kept up. Amazing views at all times of the day. Everyone loved our stay, only wish the AC worked a little better as it did get quite warm inside during the day (but let’s face it who wants to be inside when there’s that beach!)
Wow!!! House was amazing. Room for everyone Sites we visited were spectacular!! Beach with paddle boards and kayaks was wonderful!! Great trip Thanks hope to be back!!!
The entire resort is beautiful! The house is clean, well designed to accommodate large groups with ease, lots of amenities. The deck offers generous outdoor seating, all with great views of the lake. You get both sunrises and sunsets! The beach is sandy, no rocks and you can walk for miles. We loved our stay!
Location not ideal for snowmobiling . Everything else fantastic
Beautiful location, nicely furnished - as advertised!
Great property, our third year using the house. Clean, plenty of beds, and close to the trails. We would definitely come back.
We love the Pinewood Lodge! Truly a one-of-a-kind cabin stay on the lake. We love it more and more every year. Thank you!
We rented this property for our daughters wedding. There were 30 people, 1/2 family 1/2 their friends. The home was perfect as the two separate spaces kept the friends group 21+ quietly away from the parents and young kids. The grounds were beautiful and beach peaceful and relaxing. We could not have asked for a better wedding venue! Thank you
Spacious, clean and private beach; nailed it!
we couldn't have chose a etter location for our intimate elopement. with the helpful and responsive owners as well as just the over all beauty of the home. This place was amazing!
This property is beautiful. There were enough rooms and beds for all 23 of us, with some to spare. The owners were very easy to get ahold of. We used the kayaks and paddle boards and alot of us swam in the lake. I loved all the quiet areas you could sneak off to if you needed some peace and quiet to read or think . Short drive to pictured rocks and waterfalls . Made lots of great memories!
Wonderful view, weather was absolutely great. Cabin was super clean and supplies were well stocked. We used kayaks and paddle boards everyday! Matt and Holly communicated everything in advance if our stay. Highly recommended for a base destination whether going to Munisin, Grand Marais, and or Marquette.
Holly and Matt are such wonderful responsive hosts and their property lived up to the very high expectations established by the beautiful pictures. Very well appointed kitchens, comfortable beds (my kids want to trade in their home mattresses!), and plenty of towels. We loved all the eating and hangout rooms. Staying here was relaxing and rejuvenating. We look forward to returning!
It is a beautiful beach and location. We had 4 generations if family there. The teens and younger loved the kayaks.
