This lodge is the perfect base for your Up North vacation
The Lodge is attached to a small country chiropractic office. Therefore the parking lot will be shared with a chiropractor and patient, but it is certainly large enough for all. 3 parking spaces are available for guests use. The front and back yards are for you, our lodge guests. Only guests listed in the reservation are allowed on our property (a counting of guests will occur, so please be honest, or an additional $100 per guest/per day will be added and you may be asked to leave).
