Spirit Lodge is located 10 minutes from downtown Madeline Island, and is just over a minute drive from the beautiful Big Bay Town Park. We have one full bedroom with a queen bed and tv, one bathroom, and a loft with a queen bed. Our main level has a kitchen, eating area, couch, dining table, and a wood stove fireplace. The basement is just partially finished, but available for you to use.

The front yard is yours to enjoy, it is the perfect place to gather and enjoy a fire. Our year round home is located about 100 feet from Spirit Lodge.

Quiet Woodsy Retreat

Spirit Lodge was a secluded and natural retreat in the woods within driving minutes to the beautiful Town Park adjacent to Big Bay State Park. The deck and fire area are fantastic spots to relax and enjoy the quiet and nature. The kitxhen had everything we needed to cook meals, abundant games and a nkce TV for movie watching. The loft was cozy, but keep your head low. Olivia responds to all messahes and it was easy to checkin and out.

Very peaceful and comfortable getaway. Accommodations exceeded expectations. Appreciated the actual driving directions since cell coverage is sketchy on the island! Beautiful location. Host is close by in case anything come up.

Great place to 'Refresh Your Spirit!'

I recently stayed at the Spirit Lodge with three of my children (18,15,13) and we all had a fantastic time. The location was perfect as we were able to bike to the Town Park for beach time and canoeing. We were also able to explore the State Park as it was just a short drive away. The lodge was exceptionally clean and had all the necessary amenities. We will definitely be back in the future!

5 star stay!

I stayed at Spirit Lodge with my husband and 9yo kiddo. We had an awesome mini-vacation staying at Spirit Lodge. Olivia and Evan are so friendly; sparse and present in the perfect balance. This location is quiet and close to both the town and state park beaches and hikes. It was everything we were looking for. Thanks, also, for having so many board games to choose from for our nighttime entertainment :)

Oasis on Madeline island

This is Thee place to stay on Madeline island. Far enough from town to have some privacy but close enough to run in for dinner or exploring. The Ralph’s have supplied literally anything you could need or wants your trip. They have an amazing porch and huge yard that our kids enjoyed playing soccer and frisbee and other activities. If we travel back to Madeline again we will def be staying here.

Rural getaway

We really enjoyed the rural location, ease of getting to the shoreline and cleanliness of the cabin. The pictures of the loft are deceiving as the headroom is only 4 ft. There’s not even enough room to put the bedside lamp on a table. It would be fine for children but not for adults. The host was very cordial and personally greeted us as they live on the property.

Lovely Spot

We had a wonderful time at the Spirit Lodge. With family camping at the Town Park, this location was great for us to stay with the baby. Olivia and Evan maintained privacy, but were kind and reaponsive when a small issue came up that needed their attention. Highly recommend!

A Great Way to Enjoy the Island

Spirit Lodge is a great place to stay on Madeline Island! The cabin is clean, comfortable, and really lovely. It's just outside of town, a quiet and peaceful spot. Very close to the beach for plenty of opportunities to enjoy the lake. We loved our stay!

Great unique cabin in the woods

We really enjoyed our stay at Spirit Lodge. The location was perfect, just down the road from Big Bay Town Park beach. Spent our mornings drinking coffee on the porch and watching the hummingbirds feed. Beautiful log cabin, highly recommend.

Anual Trip to the Island

It's hard to find the right words to describe our stay at the spirit lodge. It truly became our home away from home, and the host was so welcoming. It's very well kept and the beds are super comfy. It was the perfect size for myself my 15-year-old her friend and my two year old. Beautiful yard with a lot of space. Definitely hope to come back and stay there again.
