"We loved staying at the lodge — it was so cozy, yet still had plenty of space and felt like another home! Would definitely stay again. Gerard and Jan were incredibly communicative and helpful for anything that we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a cozy getaway in Northern MI. Peter and Maddie " and

"This was easily a 5-star stay. My wife wanted a rustic weekend getaway as a birthday celebration and wanted a place that could easily accommodate our family of four plus our two God-children (all 4 kids range from 13 to 16). This place was the right choice! Gerard and Jan exceeded our hopes and expectations! The home was very neat and clean, with kitchens and bathrooms very well stocked. There was plenty to do for our teenagers (board games, basketball, firepit, and their beautiful gardens). To make it even better, they have a vegetable garden open to guests!!! They thought of everything in preparing this place. We made the right choice and were privileged to tell them while we were there, and enjoyed meeting them. They deserve the Super host rating. We have already started planning our return to the property. Thanks again Jan and Gerard! Terrence Quinn. Other things to note:
New Moon Lodge and Bakery Lane Cottage are located in the Bear Lake area. Due to the woodsy location there is sometimes poor cell phone service depending on your carrier. WIFI is new instal of High Speed Fiber Optics with 300+mb and wifi enabled calling.
The Lodge is literally at the doorstep of miles of State Land with undeveloped two-track roads that are great for contemplative walking, biking, birding, hiking, mushrooming or skiing adventures. We rely on mindful and slow drivers on our road and thank you for driving safely. The forest that surrounds the cottage are populated with 100 year old Maples, Ash, Beech, Basswood and Ironwood to name a few of the tree species. Spring flowers are spectacular as well as seasonal mushrooming. We are in the heart of Nature but only one mile off US 31 and nine miles to Lake Michigan. I’m
