home away from home
We very much enjoyed our stay at the house. It was nice to come "home" after a day of fly fishing in the area and some site seeing. The kitchen had all the essentials and we ate dinner most nights at the house. Beds were comfortable as was the living room seating. Location was perfect for us to visit local streams and to see the Picture Rocks (boat ride was well worth the cost. Much better than seeing from the platforms above) I would recommend this house to other travelers. Communication with the owners was great - very responsive.

Great stay at DD Lodge
Can’t say enough about this beautiful well appointed vacation rental! The attention to detail in every aspect of the lodge was much appreciated. Communication with the host was great and the check-in check-out was simple. This super clean property sits on an amazing piece of land that is situated to give lots of privacy. Plenty of room to park three trucks and trailers, and accessibility to the snowmobile trails was a huge bonus for us! Having a large tack room to put all of our gear was wonderful and plenty of space for six people to get ready for the day’s adventures! The Lodge is plenty spacious with three full bathrooms and three beautiful well appointed bedrooms. We really enjoyed the large four seasons room, especially after a day of riding to sit by the fireplace and relax. We have stayed at many vacation rentals and this one by far exceeded my expectations. A very well thought out beautiful proprty!

Absolutely perfect
From the booking process to the communication with the owners to the property and lodge itself…. You could not ask for a better experience. DD lodge is a perfect place to spend time with family. The lodge itself is beautiful and much larger than the pictures would suggest. Having spent my whole life up north I still felt like I was instantly on vacation the minute we walked in. Out of all the rentals I’ve utilized over the years for getaways this was by far and away the best experience . Strongly recommend checking this place out, no disappointments.

Great getaway
The house was very spacious and had everything we wanted and needed. It was also secluded which was a plus for us. It was actually bigger than what the pictures said (which never happens!). All of the rooms were very well-decorated and cozy. Despite being in a more remote area, everything was very modern. I would definitely stay there again and would not hesitate to recommend! Thank you!

Second stay at the DD Lodge
This was our second stay at the DD Lodge. We drove up from TN during Christmas break for a winter vacation. Once again it did not disappoint. The home is clean and welcoming. Such a great place to unwind and get away from the stress of everyday life. While here we tried our hand at ice fishing and went skiing at Brule Mountain ( about an hour and a half away ). The rest of the time we spent at the cabin sledding, walks through the snow covered woods, and relaxing around the fireplace. Owners seem to be wonderful people and very responsive. Highly recommend!

Beautiful rustic ranch between Escanaba and Marquette on MI Upper Peninsula
Country architecture but meticulously furnished and spotless and spacious ranch house. 3 large bedrooms , 3 bathrooms, enclosed porch , modern kitchen. Owner was a pleasure to deal with and very responsive and local caretakers were outstanding as we found out when our car did not start one morning. To get to most sites one must drive a bit but central location made it possible to strike out in every direction

This was such a lovely place to stay. It was so well equipped with everything we would need. It is well laid out and very roomy. It is a bit remote but that is what we were hoping for. Good launching point for hiking and biking in the area.

Perfect family vacation accommodations!
DD lodge was perfect for a long awaited extended family vacation. The lodge was spacious - even for 2 families of 4 and Grandpa and Grandma! The bedrooms had plenty of space for pack'n'play sleeping arrangements for our little ones and totes for all of our belongings (avid hikers). The lodge is arranged very well - the sleeping quarters is separate from the kitchen and living room so the younger kids could go to bed while we played with the older kids. They also creatively placed rock around the firepit which acts as a barrier to keep children or others from getting too close! This would be perfect for snowmobile trips - very close to the trail and huge mudroom to hang gear! Overall a great place to stay!

Awesome Lodge!
We loved staying at the DD Lodge! The property was beautiful and everything was like new. The bedrooms were large and comfortable and the bathrooms were amazing. We enjoyed playing board games by the fireplace in the evenings and utilized the fire pit outside on our last night. Gwinn was close enough to pick up groceries and had some restaurants. We made day trips to Marquette and Munising every evening coming back to the lodge to make dinner in the well stocked kitchen. We were never given the code to the lodge prior to our visit or any information. Once we got there we had no signal and no way to contact the property manager to get the code. Maybe unlocking the WiFi at the house so people can contact the property manager or providing the information the day before would be helpful. Overall we had a great time and would definitely go back.

DD Lodge will not disappoint.
Tons of room. Fantastic furnishing, etc. Just a really neat place to stay. But be sure you are ready to be "off the grid" as far as civilization. Cell coverage is very spotty. And you are in the woods and a little drive from a gallon of milk. Which is exactly what we wanted. And Nancy is great. Will take care of anything you need. Overall A+++

Serene Getaway in the UP
This cabin is wonderful. It is new and was very clean—spacious with three large bathrooms. The master bathroom’s shower and heated floors are awesome. The bedrooms are large with large closets. We loved having a washer and dryer and full laundry room, as we went hiking and to the beach multiple days. We used the large fire pit most nights to make s’mores with the kids. The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils and we cooked many meals at the cabin during the week. I loved reading in the four seasons room on the rainy mornings. The location is very quiet and isolated, which is great during a pandemic. We were able to use (rented) ATVs on the snowmobile trails on the property, which the kids loved—a new experience. We drove to Au Train/Munising/Lake Superior three times (about an hour). We also drove to Manistique/Kitch-iti-Kipi and Fayette Park (also about an hour). We stopped at a winery in Escanaba on the way up. We also visited Miners Falls and Laughing Whitefish Falls—beautiful trails and falls. We were able to socially distance everywhere we went on this trip. I highly recommend the cabin and this area for a peaceful escape and for making family memories.
