The home is amazing! It was a perfect place for a sisters trip. It was super comfortable, in a beautiful location and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. It served as a peaceful place to relax, as well as a perfect home base for exploring nearby lighthouses, waterfalls, and a day trip to Mackinac Island.I would love to visit again! Highly recommend!

We very much enjoyed our stay! Gitchie Gumee Lodge is very conveniently located very close to Paradise and a short drive from The Shipwreck Museum in one direction and Tahquamenon Falls in the other. The house is lovely and has everything we needed including great views of the bay. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the waves. Kitchen was well-stocked and very nice, as well!

The house is beautiful! Great location in the trees by the lake. Note that you cannot easily access the lake from the property due to a cliff of boulders, which was the only downside. We really enjoyed the house, including the beautiful primary bedroom upstairs. Everything is well-stocked for your stay.We visited in summer and the power went out multiple times. We contacted the owner and he got back to us fairly quickly with instructions to turn on the gas generator in the garage, which powers a portion of the house.

This property was absolutely beautiful! It was everything my family and I wanted. We wanted a place where we could enjoy being right on Lake Superior and the outdoor space was AMAZING! It had some beach space which it looked like other properties around did not. We used the firepit almost every night and the host even provided the wood to burn. Multiple Adirondack chairs to use to either enjoy the fire, look out over the lake or sit on the deck. Having a washer and a dryer available to use was a godsend with a family of 6. The beds were super comfortable. Checking in was extremely simple as well.

The Gitchie Gumie was truly amazing an did not disappoint in anyway. Waking w/ the sunrise and enjoying magic beans in the large mugs provided, enjoying breakfast in the well appointed kitchen, taking in the views in the Adirondack chairs ... all inspired me to paint a watercolor on the porch ... music and a glass of vino! Perfect. Had surf and turf on the grill, enjoyed the fireplace ... everyday dialing into relaxation ... comfortable beds, lovely well appointed bathrooms. Truly lovely. Only one small suggestion, please consider supplying martini glasses. With that ... I would rate 5 stars and will come back!Best,Lisa

This home is an architectural masterpiece!  We loved the way it is integrated with the beautiful natural environment surrounding it.  With all the wonderful windows and skylights, you get the feeling of being in a luxuriously appointed tree house.  It is so tastefully decorated and provides   guests with every imaginable convenience—we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great place to stay

Dale was great! Home was very accommodating for our family trip. Conveniently located to many sites for day trips exploring the upper peninsula. Beautiful sunrises in the morning and the highlight for me was watching a lake otter play in the water.

Fabulous time at Gitche Gumee Lodge!

We stayed with our adult children and it was perfect for us. We had plenty of space to relax and gather for games and meals in the evening. It was centrally located for all the activities we had planned in the UP. A beautiful view of the lake and we saw ships every day. Dale was available for any questions we had and made sure we had a comfortable stay.
