Pond Island Lodge, Orv/ Snowmobile Trail Access from Driveway

It was an excellent place to use as home base for our family of 2 adults, 2 teens, and a bonus teen exchange student! One spacious king size master and one queen size bedroom upstairs with ac units and a full bath upstairs. Downstairs was another bedroom with two twin beds and another full bathroom. Also downstairs included kitchen with full appliances (including coffee maker and microwave), spacious dining area for eating and for board games, cozy living room with couch, armchair, and tv (and small coffee table that can be moved out of the way if you need to get a morning Pilates workout in!), and a laundry room with washer and dryer. Outside areas included front patio chairs, upper balcony lookout, and a backyard firepit - and a trail we didn’t end up getting to since we already did so much hiking this trip to waterfalls in the area! Adequate dishes (could use a few more tupperwares for leftovers), plenty of spare linens and towels, good toilet paper - and they even left a couple of frozen pizzas for our first night there so we didn’t have to scrounge for dinner after a long drive! No ac downstairs but the windows and cool tile actually kept downstairs pretty cool most of the time—we only needed the upstairs on a couple days where it got to 78. Not far from Munising, where we did our grocery shopping and some of our activities (like the sunset Pictured Rocks cruise) started off. This gets a 10 out of 10 from me and I would definitely stay here again!

Snowmobile Paradise Booked the property and Dennis and Diane messaged me shortly after introducing themselves. This was the first weekend after the warm spell in the UP 2024/2025. We were nervous about snow totals and trail conditions but Dennis assured us everything will be okay and gave us updates by the day which was really nice reassurance for our trip. Access to the trail was amazing and the property was in the absolute perfect spot to ride on that side of the UP. Plenty of places to park trucks and trailers and plenty of room to turn around a pickup truck and a 25 ft trailer. The house was very clean, cozy, and spacious. They even provided pizzas and a case of water for us which is very thoughtful. We had 6 guys in our group and there was still plenty of room for more if you bring an air matress or two. We will be coming here every single time we ride this way in the UP. Thank you for providing such an amazing spot for any kind of UP activities!

The perfect weekend getaway 10 out of 10. Communication throughout our booking was exceptional. The cabin was immaculate and charming. It’s perfectly located for all our adventuring. We cant wait to return!!!
