Upper Peninsula family vacation
We really enjoyed our stay at DD Lodge. My family, ages ranging from 94 years to three years, and I booked this property for a family vacation and it was perfect! The Lodge is amazing, very spacious and beautiful! The property is very clean and very well maintained, with all the amenities we were looking for and more. We enjoyed our morning coffee and stargazing in the four-season room, grilling, and nighttime campfires roasting s’mores with the kids. The location of the lodge made it an easy drive to must see attractions and the Wells Township Park for a childhood/friends reunion. Our host Nancy was very nice, responsive and promptly communicated with us, making it a smooth process before, during and after our stay. Very much appreciated the “welcome information”that was sent about DD Lodge, directions, things to do, etc. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend DD Lodge when visiting the U.P.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods
The DD Lodge is very spacious and quiet in the woods. Very well stocked kitchen for cooking. We used it as a base for a golf trip. We did not access the trails but I can only image they are wonderful and direct access from the property. The main road to the cabin is totally paved which is great. We had a snafu on cleaning, but the owner was extremely responsive and handled It immediately. Would highly recommend staying at The DD!

Beautiful Updated Lodge
The DD Lodge was even better than advertised. It is spacious, yet cozy and comfortable. We had just two of us and it felt welcoming and not too large, but it would accommodate large groups easily, too. DD Lodge has the feel of a traditional hunting camp, but is fully updated with absolutely beautiful finishes and conveniences. It was spotlessly clean. The host’s communication was everything I could have hoped for, making check-in and check-out easy. The property offers many activities on-site or nearby. We even saw the Northern Lights from the front yard. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Home
We had a great time at this property. The house was HUGE, which gave us a lot of room to spread out. There were lots of items to use for cooking; pots, pans, dishes, serving platters, crock pot, etc. They had it all. It was also a very clean and well maintained property. There's also a nice fire pit on site and a two car garage to park your vehicles in. I would highly recommend this place to stay if you want to get away. We loved it!

This property was more impressive than the pictures show! There is so much more space than is shown in the photos. The land around the home has fun trails and a beautiful fire pit for lots of fun memories. The hosts are quick to respond to questions. Would definitely come here again.

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

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!
