Highly recommend staying at the Hodge Lodge! It is very clean, comfortable and pet friendly. The grounds are beautiful and the owners have thought of everything. My kids loved the complimentary hot chocolate and smores! Our dog was in heaven running on the grounds. The owners couldn’t have been more friendly and inviting.

Our stay was relaxing and peaceful. The cozy and tasteful decor in the cabin combine so nicely with the beautiful outdoor property, including the towering pine trees, relaxing front porch, and fire pit with comfy camp chairs. Day trips to quaint places such as Traverse City, Frankfort and Sutton’s Bay offer so much, with the ability to wind down at day’s end back at this fabulous property!
