Welcome to Edgetts Lodge! We are located at the former site of historic Edgetts Michigan, which was a 19th century logging town that burned down over 90 years ago. Even though Edgetts was never rebuilt, the remains of the foundations can still be seen on the property. The Lodge is a magnificent 5100 sq. ft. hand hewn rustic log home, built from huge red pines taken right from the property. The Lodge sits high on a riverbank with a fantastic view overlooking the Pine River, which is one of Michigan's premier, blue-ribbon trout streams. The Pine River is both a designated "Michigan Natural River" and a "Federal Wild and Scenic River". It is also rated as one of the Mid-West's best for kayaking and canoeing. We provide 5 kayaks for your use, with additional kayaks and canoes available for local rental. Please scroll down to the link for our web site and click on the Pine River Map for take out points and travel times on the river.

The Lodge is surrounded by 38 pristine and private wooded acres, and we own both sides of the river for 1/8th mile. This incredible home has 3 and ½ baths, a first floor master suite with a private deck, an upstairs bedroom with a river view balcony, 2 other large upstairs bedrooms, and a fifth bedroom in the walkout basement. The 5 bedrooms will comfortably sleep 21 people, not counting additional couches, cots, and inflatable beds. There is also a large wrap around guest deck, and both of the decks, as well as the great-room, offer a beautiful 180 degree view of the winding river. The Lodge also has a spacious fully stocked gourmet kitchen, huge commercial gas grill, large loft/ TV area with satellite TV, DVD and VHS library, WI FI Internet, 2 beautiful fieldstone fireplaces, huge great room, ping pong table, video games, board games, and much more.

  • We celebrated my parent's 50th wedding anniversary at the lodge. We are already talking about making a return visit to this wonderful place. We created some precious family memories in this beautiful home. Breathtaking really is the perfect description, not to mention spacious, immaculate and cozy. We enjoyed having bonfires, watching the "Dogman" legend, playing ping pong and just sitting by the fire in the beautiful living room overlooking the Pine River. It really exceeded our expectations. Doug was wonderful showing us the lodge and bringing us firewood. Mark, I really appreciate your quick response for recommended places to eat and phoning us over the weekend to make sure our stay was going well. Thanks for sharing this magnificent place with us. We had an amazing time.

  • As professionally and beautifully as this Lodge is presented on the website, the pictures do not do this "mecca" proper justice. The experience was wonderful. You have yourself a real gem here! The amenities were top-notch, it felt like we were guests at a highly rated hotel. However, the authenticity of the cabin as well as the surrounding nature made us feel as if we were a million miles from our day-to-day lives. Everyone who walked through the front doors did so with their mouths open in amazement. Mark was a complete professional, accomodating, he even called during the weekend to make sure the cabin was up to our standards. Doug was always available, and a nicer man you won't find. I told Mark before the weekend that if all goes well, he will have some repeat business. Now I say this with full confidence. Mark, you will have repeat business! Thank you!

  • I am a youth minister from Ann Arbor, MI. Our youth ministry had a long tradition of going to a large event in Gatlinburg, TN each year. My students absolutely loved this event. This year, due to the cost of traveling that far, we were not going to be able to go. I decided to look for a "cabin" that I could take my students to in MI. I only found one that slept more than 20. It was Edgetts Lodge. I decided to take a chance and book a date there. I was afraid that my students would be disappointed. Surely Edgetts Lodge could not match up to all the great experiences that my students had in Gatlinburg, TN. When we arrived at the Lodge, the students' and adult leaders' jaws dropped to the floor in amazement! They could not believe how nice it was! Also, the students were amazed by how "cool" the place is. After the trip was over, I asked my students if they missed Gatlinburg. All of them said they would have rather come to Edgetts Lodge! If you need to do a retreat, consider using this location. It was an awesome experience for our group. (If you have more questions about our experience, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to tell you more about our awesome trip.)

  • Anyone looking for a log cabin (or"Up-North") experience with all the amenities will not be disappointed. The "feel" is magical! Our family has spent 2 Christmases here. It has room to accomodate (we fit 18 comfortably!) A well stocked kitchen, and activities galore. You can curl up with a book in front of the fire place or be adventurous and go sledding, cross country skiing, or take in some nearby downhill slopes. The owner and the caretaker go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. They are available at any time to answer questions or address any needs. I've recommended the place to several friends and family members...and would love to come back in the summer to give kayaking and canoeing a try! Thanks Mark for sharing this beautiful place!

  • It has been said that “you can’t go back”, but our second annual family Christmas at Edgett’s Lodge proved that such is not the case, as this year’s celebration was every bit as special, spiritual, and magical as the first. Cross-country skiing, sledding, and playing in the snow at the river’s edge with our children and grandchildren along with brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews and their children and grandchildren, is the “essence of life”! The atmosphere and pristine setting of Edgett’s Lodge certainly expresses the beauty of the northern Michigan experience. The owner, Mark Slavsky, has not missed a thing in supplying all the necessary amenities, from a kitchen equipped for gourmet cooking, to games for small children and adults. Furthermore, Mark takes a special personal interest to ensure his guest’s enjoyment, from the booking of the reservation to a telephone call to make sure that all the guests are comfortable and everything needed is available. Thanks Mark for another wonderful family celebration which will fill the scrapbooks of the mind as well as those captured in photograph and video.

  • My adventure group and I absolutely loved the lodge! The interior was stunning yet cozy. The exterior was a beautiful secluded winter wonderland! We're already discussing coming back in the summer. I can't count how many times my friends said "Charity, how did you find this place? It's great!"

  • I am a pastor at a church here in Michigan and we have taken 3 trips up to the cabin for spiritual retreats. The cabin is a perfect setup for groups from the room/bed situation, to having space to gather the whole group, to the large kitchen for meal prep, not even mentioning the peace and "get away from it all" feeling you have when you're there. Mark has also put an esquisite amount of detail into the construction and feel of the cabin. I actually carry around business cards in my wallet for the lodge in case I'm in a conversation with someone looking for a great getaway, that's how much I enjoy it.

  • Thank you so much for the wonderful vacation that we had at your lodge. Your home is really beautiful and a true compliment to the natural beauty that surrounds it. Our group of 25 had plenty of space and had a lot of fun fishing and kayaking. What a great place to relax and unwind! Thanks again!
