Gather Here: 3,000 Sq Ft Lodge in Michigan's U.P. – Pond, Fire, Sleeps 14

The Alderwood Lodge at Alderwood Crossing
The Alderwood Lodge is a modern 3,000+ sq ft retreat on 40 acres in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Sleeps 14 with queen rooms and bunk beds, full kitchen, dining area, and theatre-style lounge with 75" TV. Outside, enjoy a patio with seating, firepit, lighted trails, and a peaceful pond. Peaceful yet close to Island Resort & Casino, Lake Michigan, and Escanaba — the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

The Space
Welcome to The Alderwood Lodge at Alderwood Crossing — a spacious modern retreat tucked away on 40 acres in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Designed for comfort and connection, the lodge sleeps up to 14 guests and is the perfect setting for family getaways, friends' retreats, or a quiet escape surrounded by nature.

Inside, you'll find more than 3,000 sq ft of living space including:
A fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for meals together. Comfortable bedrooms with queen rooms and queen bunk beds to accommodate groups. A large open dining and living area for gathering. A cozy theatre-style lounge with a 75" smart TV. High-speed internet throughout.

Step outside to enjoy the beauty of Alderwood Crossing:
A patio with seating, a grill, and perfect for unwinding. A firepit area for evening conversations and s'mores. A horseshoe-shaped pond — a peaceful spot to relax and unwind. Lighted walking trail through peaceful wooded areas. Wide open spaces for outdoor games, picnics, and enjoying the fresh UP air.

Located in Wilson, MI, Alderwood Crossing feels private and quiet while still being just minutes from Island Resort & Casino, golf courses, restaurants, and the Lake Michigan shoreline. Escanaba is a short 15-mile drive, offering even more to explore.

Please Note: The Alderwood Lodge is part of Alderwood Crossing, where weddings and events are hosted separately. This listing is for lodge stays only and has a maximum overnight occupancy of 14 guests. Event bookings are available exclusively through our website. No pets allowed.

Guest Access
When you stay at The Alderwood Lodge, you'll have full access to the entire lodge. The Lodge is part of our 6,000 sq ft barndominium, which we've thoughtfully designed into two completely separate spaces — one for our family and one for you. There is no shared entrance and no access between the two, so your stay is fully private.

You'll enjoy every corner of The Alderwood Lodge — from the theatre-style lounge with a 75" TV to the fully stocked kitchen, spacious dining area, and comfortable bedrooms that sleep up to 14 guests.

Step outside and take in the beauty of Alderwood Crossing. Wander the lighted walking trails, gather around the firepit, relax on the patio, or spend time by the horseshoe-shaped pond. Alderwood Crossing is home to a small number of glamping sites, but those guests have their own private fenced area — so the grounds around the lodge are yours to enjoy freely.

Other Things to Note
The Alderwood Lodge is designed to host up to 14 overnight guests comfortably. If your group is larger, please reach out — we'd be glad to talk through options and help however we can.

Paul and Sandy call Alderwood Crossing home and are always nearby if you need anything — close enough to help, but you'll hardly know they're there.

We also love celebrating life's big moments here at Alderwood Crossing. If you're interested in hosting a wedding or special event, please note that all events must be booked separately through our official website.
During your stay at this lodge, you'll be close to Island Resort & Casino. You'll find features such as laundry facilities.

What a great place to stay in the UP. The host Adam was very helpful and seemed to be available at any time. It was 7 guys that stayed here for the weekend there were no issues with Bathrooms or beds which made this place ideal. The entertainment setup for viewing the game was perfect with the large living area and the kitchen/bar proximity. We are planning to come back next year for our annual gathering.
