About the Properties

Both of these properties are very secluded and located directly on Upper Holmes Lake. This is a non public lake and there are also 200 private acres of land for your recreational use. The Cabin and the Lodge each have their own private dock, with a fishing boat and canoe provided. If you do like to fish, the lake is home to panfish, bass, pike & walleye. If you enjoy watching and listening for birds, you will likely see and hear loons swimming on the lake. Bald eagles nest in the trees around the lake. And songbirds are plentiful — the whippoorwills especially like to make their presence known! You may hear wolves and coyotes howling at night, or see some deer, bear, or maybe even moose! Also, if it is a clear night and the conditions are right, you may be able to view the Northern Lights! Feel free to swim in the lake, if that is an activity you enjoy! There is a railroad track that crosses the north end of the lake, which is quite a sight when a train crosses! You are welcome to bring your own kayak for use on the lake, and a paddle boat is on the premises for you to enjoy as well. If you have a bigger boat, the Michigamme Reservoir is only five minutes away, where you will find a great boat launch and plentiful fishing. While they are not permitted on the property itself, there are also great trails nearby for ATVs, ORVs and snow machines. These properties are centrally located in the western UP, just 5 miles from the historic small town of Crystal Falls. They are perfectly situated for any number of day trips, including, but not limited to — both Lake Superior & Lake Michigan, the Porcupine Mountains, Pictured Rocks, Copper Harbor, several waterfalls and rapids, museums, historical sites, casinos — the list goes on and on! If you are looking for a secluded, private getaway, you have found it at the Cabin and the Lodge! Disconnect from the outside world for a bit, reconnect with each other, come enjoy the unspoiled beauty in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and make your own wonderful lifetime memories! We look forward to meeting you and having you as our guests! • Towels and bedding are provided. We ask that you bring all your own food, beverages, toiletries and personal gear (life jackets, etc.).
