Lodging

We have sixteen motel-style rooms with double beds, private baths, tying tables, DirecTV, WiFi, and are just steps from the river.  The Brown Trout Suite has two bedrooms, each with two single beds, a stone fireplace and central living area, which makes it ideal for three to four anglers. We are pet-friendly. Our rooms are not air-conditioned, but stay cool by the river on all but the hottest days just by keeping the windows open at night.  We consider ourselves tastefully-outdated.  

Our lodge has been family-owned and operated since 1970. All our comfortable rooms overlook one of the most prolific stretches of the Au Sable River – great fly-fishing is right out your back door. 

Many of our guests return year after year, some since the very beginning years of the lodge. We’re just large enough to accommodate every need, yet small enough that we get to know most of our guests by name. Come experience a truly relaxing and comfortable stay at the very heart of Michigan’s fly-fishing nirvana.

We have two seasons.  Our busy season is from April 15 to November 1.  We are, however, open to a lesser extent in the winter and welcome winter guests who want a nice quiet place to stay along the river.  We have connections and coupons for local Cross-Country Ski trails, and we often host free fly tying classes on the weekends.   

Though we make every effort to honor requests for a particular room,  we are unable to guarantee individual rooms (except for those booking the suite).  We have very few vacancies spring thru fall and maintenance requirements may necessitate shifting rooms.
