Fabulous time at Gitche Gumee Lodge!

We stayed with our adult children and it was perfect for us. We had plenty of space to relax and gather for games and meals in the evening. It was centrally located for all the activities we had planned in the UP. A beautiful view of the lake and we saw ships every day. Dale was available for any questions we had and made sure we had a comfortable stay.

Dale was great! Home was very accommodating for our family trip. Conveniently located to many sites for day trips exploring the upper peninsula. Beautiful sunrises in the morning and the highlight for me was watching a lake otter play in the water.
