Our group of three couples recently stayed at DD Lodge, and it was one of the best vacation rentals we've experienced.The home itself is beautiful and full of interesting history. We chose it because of its location near the trails for our side-by-sides, and it proved to be the perfect base for our trip.One of our favorite features was the enclosed porch, where we spent a lot of time relaxing and visiting together. The craftsmanship throughout the lodge is evident and adds to its beauty and charm. Every space felt thoughtfully designed with guests in mind. Having three full bathrooms gave each couple their own privacy, while the finished garage and expansive mudroom provided ample space for the gear and supplies we brought along. Unlike many rentals that feel crowded with the owner's belongings, DD Lodge offered plenty of room for us to unpack, organize our things, and truly settle in. Keeping our equipment out of the living areas made a remarkable difference, creating a comfortable, uncluttered environment that genuinely felt like a home away from home rather than a place where we were simply borrowing someone else's space.We usually travel to a different area every year to explore new trails, but DD Lodge has set a very high standard. I'm afraid future rentals will be compared to this one and probably come up short. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend DD Lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient place to stay.

We have taken several vacations to Michigan over the years and this was our second time to the UP. This home was by far the best we've stayed at. The listing really doesn't do it justice. The home was very clean, beds were comfortable, plenty of space, the kitchen was overstocked, the furniture and decor were nice and not beat up at all like you get with some places. It is out in the middle of nowhere, but that's what we wanted. Easy enough day trips to anywhere in the UP. Pictures Rocks, Soo Locks, Keweenaw, Michigan shore, Superior shore, plenty of waterfalls and a great home to come back and relax at. Thank you for such a great vacation. Highly recommend checking this home out to anyone.

One of the nicest places we have stayed at in the over 20 years of snowmobiling in the upper peninsula. Trail access is right down the road along with fuel less than a half a mile away. The accommodations could not have been better, this is a hidden gem, will absolutely come back next season.

We loved staying at the DD Lodge! The property was beautiful and everything was like new. The bedrooms were large and comfortable and the bathrooms were amazing. We enjoyed playing board games by the fireplace in the evenings and utilized the fire pit outside on our last night. Gwinn was close enough to pick up groceries and had some restaurants. We made day trips to Marquette and Munising every evening coming back to the lodge to make dinner in the well stocked kitchen. We were never given the code to the lodge prior to our visit or any information. Once we got there we had no signal and no way to contact the property manager to get the code. Maybe unlocking the WiFi at the house so people can contact the property manager or providing the information the day before would be helpful.Overall we had a great time and would definitely go back.
