We enjoyed our stay at Farmer Lake Lodge. It had plenty of room and beds for our big family, a well stocked large kitchen, games and toys to enjoy, and beautiful views of the lake. It was in a great location for exploring the upper peninsula. Make sure to bring chairs for sitting by the fire if you have more than four in your group and life jackets for enjoying the watercraft on the lake.

We enjoyed our stay at the house, well stock kitchen was very nice. I have really have no complaints, had an issue with one of the toilets, and they responded quickly. Comfortable seating in the living room. Outside seating was nice, we had chilly nights.. and enjoyed campfires almost every night. The only suggestion I would change, in the master bedroom the mattress is very hard, somewhat old.. we had a hard time sleeping on it. I went out a bought a foam topper then it was better. Otherwise, beautiful stay. I would stay again. Thank you

Memorial Day Farmer Lake Lodge

Cabin was cozy and cute. View was incredible at sunset but so were the mosquitoes. Kitchen was well stocked for large crew of 11. However we did run out of paper towels and toilet paper. Another sitting area screened-in or another area to gather and visit would make this cabin UP perfect! Thank you for sharing it with us.
