Relaxing lodge on Cheboygan river - Only 20 Minutes to Mackinaw!!


Location, Location, Location!!!
• 200 feet of private riverfront • 1 new 60ft dock that can accommodate kayaks to pleasure size watercraft (.3 miles from The Forks DNR launch) • Quality restaurant on the river accessible by private road within the property offering lunch, dinner and cocktails • 1 mile to gas stations, grocery and liquor stores • Sand beach swimming within 20 minutes by boat or 10 minutes by car to Mullett Lake • Fishing out your front door, either from the docks or by boat • More than 50 golf courses and 4 casinos within a 1 hour drive • Mackinaw City and voyages to historic Mackinac Island within a 20 minute drive • 1.5 hours to Tahquamenon Falls and the Soo Locks • Public hiking and recreational trails access within walking distance of the property • Mullett Lake is a 20 minute river ride, the lodge is 10 minutes by water from Black River (a full-speed river perfect for skiing, tubing and jet skis) and 20 minutes from the locks to Lake Huron • You are not just watching waterfowl from afar, you’re in the flocks and this is one of the best boating, kayaking and canoeing experiences found anywhere •
Allow yourself to escape to this modern tri-level lodge (interior wood cottage décor) on the beautiful Inland Waterway of Michigan with room to play both indoors and out. Wildlife is so abundant on the river and the grounds, we guarantee at all times during day light hours you will see wildlife while enjoying the outside or through one of the large windows when inside the lodge. The lodge features a tri-level visual experience of the river.
Estate Description
The property has 1.5 irrigated acres of land, 200-feet of river frontage, one private dock with enough space to moor several watercraft, an outdoor fire pit, several picnic tables and many lounging chairs on the extensive decks.
The modern air conditioned lodge includes a game room with a bar and pool table, two large screen TV with cable, WiFi, fireplace, 2 refrigerators, 80lb per day commercial ice maker, washer and dryer, a fully stocked kitchen and enough sleeping for up to 12. The 4 bedroom, 3 full bath lodge, has an open floor plan containing a kitchen/dining/living room combination with a 24-foot cathedral ceiling. The lodge also has a large 2nd story wrap around deck featuring a propane grill, a lower river level patio and is perfect for your group, large or small.
Other Fun Stuff
• Bring your camera; whether on the water or relaxing from the deck, docks or patio, this is a photographer’s pleasure trip. Take in inspiring sunrises, sunsets and river views right from the lodge.
• Boating: The lodge is situated on the Inland Waterway, which is a 38 mile system that begins at the mouth of Lake Huron and continues down the Cheboygan River into Mullett Lake. At the south end of Mullett Lake, the Waterway then flows into the Indian River and on into Burt Lake and continues into the Crooked River before coming to an end at Crooked and Pickeral Lakes. If you choose to take the entire Inland Waterway roundtrip, it takes over 10 hours from the lodge by boat.
• Nature lovers and bird watching: The river provides a more intimate, up-close view of wildlife than a lake. The Cheboygan River Watershed is known for large migrations of birds and providing a natural habitat for their spring and fall migrations, nesting and natural activities throughout the summer. Deer, raccoon, mink, swans, Canadian geese, mallards, mergansers, gulls, wood ducks, herons, golden eyes, osprey, cormorants, golden and bald eagles and many other beautiful wildlife species call the waterway home.
The Cheboygan River Watershed is known for its large, deep, high quality, kettle lakes which support an array of fish and wildlife and serve as a core tourist attraction. Expansive wetland systems have formed where the large rivers filter into these lakes. These large marshes, such as the Indian River and Pigeon River Spreads provide critical spawning habitat for fish and nesting, foraging, and migration habitat for a wide range of birds.
• Fall colors: As the nights become cool in September and October, the spectacular color show begins. Check out the Pure Michigan website for recommended fall color tours.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Mullett Lake Marina. Enjoy features like laundry facilities and an arcade/games room. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the holiday home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washer/dryer and 3 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • 11 minutes by car from Lake Huron and 6 minutes from Mullett Lake Marina

The lodge was very clean and well stocked when we arrived. We cooked every day and never felt like there was something missing. The location is awesome. The commercial ice machine was a game changer, never had to run to the store to stock ice for coolers on the lake. Ray and Carrie are excellent hosts who were very quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely be back to "The Lodge".

Amazing property

The Lodge is awesome - everything you need! We had 6 adults, three tens, and two under 5. It accommodated our family great with plenty of space. We also had a 20 ft surf boat and 23 ft tritoon we parked at the dock, which was no problem at all. Thanks again!

Excellent for Multi Generation Families

We had three generations stay at The Lodge....my husband and I, our three grown children and their spouses, and our two 7 month old grandbabies.We had a marvelous time at the Lodge. It was just perfect for our group...right down to the gliders to rock and feed the babies. The view of the river was so beautiful and relaxing. The new deck was not only attractive, but offered plenty of space and seats for reading outside, or just sipping morning coffee while enjoying the the view. Our son-in-law enjoyed fishing off the dock, and even brought his waders along and fished in the water, too!We enjoyed a bonfire each night in the fire pit. S'mores were made and devoured as we reflected on our activities of the day.The beds were all comfy, and each couple had plenty of privacy. The bathrooms were well stocked also.The kitchen was really the heart of the home, and everything we needed as far as appliances, pots and pans, utensils, and dishes were supplied. The nice large table served us well for meals to game playing. Our communication with the owners was easy peasy. Ray responded to us quickly when we had a question. They made check in super easy, too. Great owners to work with! We loved our stay, and would pick this property again in a heartbeat next time we come up North with our whole family.

Mackinaw Island Getaway

Our large family group of 10 people booked this cabin on the lake. It was a nice and quiet area with water access. High ceilings and 3 floors gave us more than enough room for our whole party! There was plenty of potential things to do inside the house alone including pool table, games, tvs etc. o ly about 20 ish mins to the island ferry and shopping gave us a lovely home away from home.the owner was very attentive and actually helped out with a minor entrance question after hours. Would definitely rent this place again!

Great summer stay

Awesome location for boating North to Lake Huron and South to Indian River, etc. Dock very good for leaving pontoon. House had a lot of space. Firepit was a great addition complete with firewood to use. Kitchen had a good amount of pots & pans, etc. Extra fridge and ice maker in basement was awesome! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Spent a week with my family. Ages 20 to 83. We had a great time biking, and hiking. Loved the river view from the decks on the house. Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island are close by. Enjoyed a glass bottomed boat ride on the Cheboygan river out onto Lake Huron. Very comfortable home. Great trip! Kay Letourneau

Cheboygan River Lodge

Our stay at this property was amazing. The lodge is beautiful and clean. There are quality furnishings throughout the house. The deck, patio, fire-pit and docks were outstanding features that we all gravitated around. If you love nature, this place is your go-to! The views from both inside and outside are top notch. We played pool many nights and loved the bar in the basement level. I fished off both docks and caught a smallmouth and pike. Kayaks were also provided and they were fun to use and fish with. The outside chairs were amazing on all our old backs too. We even had to shelter in place one day due to a huge paper mill fire in town. None of us were even bothered by it due to how amazing the lodge is!
