Nice place right on the river!

We visited early spring and the place was very nice. Clean and comfortable and right on the river! It seems like a really great place to be, especially in warmer weather - we came the week of snow and ice so outdoor activities were limited but still enjoyed the getaway.

Amazing Stay

Riverland Lodge was so clean and on a beautiful property. We sat with a cup of coffee and took in everything this place had to offer. We saw deer, turkeys, rabbits. And two bald eagles visited a tree next to the river each day. If you want some piece of mind and time to relax this is an amazing place to stay.

Riverland Lodge was wonderful!

We were very impressed with Riverland Lodge. it had a wonderful river view with a wrap around deck that you could relax and have coffee in the morning or grilling out at night. It was perfect for the relaxing vacation we wanted. It was also close to many of the sites we wanted to see. The house was very clean and well kept and had everything we needed. And the hosts were very easy to communicate with. And our dog loved it as much as we did! Definitely would recommend staying here.

Kayaking on the Ford River

The house was wonderful and had everything that you would needed to cook. We usually ate breakfast and dinner at the house. There are pots and pans, plates and even spices that are there for your use. The house was very comfortable and inviting. We brought our own kayaks, but if you don’t have any, there are 4 on the property to use. We grilled out a few times and we spent a lot of time on the deck watching the river and the deer that would be across the river. It was so peaceful and Steve and Audra were very nice.

Week in the UP

We were looking for a private property on some water to just sit back and relax. We found that and more at Riverland Lodge. The house was clean and inviting and included everything you could possibly need for the stay and plenty of room for the four of us. We spent 85% of the trip outside on the deck or around the fire pit enjoying nature at its finest. The location was perfect for running to town for groceries or quick jaunt over to the casino for a few hours. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming.

Peaceful and relaxing getaway.

The property and home are pristine. My city dogs were afraid of new sounds and smells, but once settled in loved going in the river and exploring the beautiful yard. Enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the deer, wild turkeys, hummingbirds, frogs, snakes and even a bear on nearby trail. Close to Escanaba if you want to eat out or buy burgers for the grill. was a great mini vacation for us!! 100% recommend to you.

Pleasant stay

We stayed here over the Thanksgiving break. Very calm and quiet place. Very clean and had all the supplies we needed in plenty. The RV tracks were livery to walk our dog and for some deer spotting. Also the occasional hunters. The only downside is the place does not have a dishwasher and so the utensils were a bit crusty as this entirely depends on the previous occupants. Would be great to have the housekeeping ensure the previous tenants did a good job. All in all we had a wonderful stay.

The Perfect Escape!

This was honestly the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever had. Arrived very late and the hosts had kindly welcomed us with the lights and fireplace on. This house is absolutely stunning, and incredibly clean. Entire home is perfectly organized, and all dishes/silverware, cupboards and drawers spotless. Generous supplies provided. The cathedral ceilings add such an impressive, dramatic touch. High quality towels, linens and beds. New washer/dryer was so nice to have for our 9-day stay. The 5 acre property is gorgeous, quiet and secluded. To hear only the birds and the river was truly heaven for us. There are plenty of things to see & do in the area; however, we chose to spend all of our time at the house, enjoying the nature, tranquility, and comforts of the house with our dog. WiFi is excellent, should you need it. We’ll definitely be back, hopefully this fall. Thank you Audra and Steve for all your hospitality, and for sharing your lovely place with us! -Nancy, Linda & Lexi
