Brand New Lodge Located 10 min from Lake Michigan, 45 min from Lake Superior

The Hornets Nest Lodge, is a brand new lodge built in 2018 fondly Named in honor of our grandfather Harvey J Potvin, who was a UP woodsman for over 80 years. This beautiful lodge is nestled in the quiet serene woods near the Hiawatha National Forest. If you are looking to get away as a family, a ATV/Snowmobile enthusiast, a group gathered together to get their hunt on, or friends looking to spend some quality time in the peaceful Upper Peninsula, then this lodge is exactly what your looking for.

We are 2 brothers who have been passionate about this land, trying to recreate our childhood camp experiences. We have many memories growing up visiting grandpa, and recently decided it was time to rebuild the old homestead of our past and make it more comfortable, accessible, and to allow others to come into our home to make their own memories.

The Hornets Nest Lodge is centrally located in the Upper Peninsula. Its location puts you only a 10 minute drive to Lake Michigan, or a 45 minute drive to Lake Superior. It is adjacent to tens of thousands of acres of Hiawatha National Forest Land, a hand full of miles from the ATV/snowmobile trail head, and across the highway from one of the best Nordic ski, skate, snowshoe trails in Upper Michigan.

The Lodge is approximately 3000 square feet of living space, decorated with a modern rustic theme. All furniture, cookware, beds/bedding linens are all brand new. Also the lodge features over 2000 sq feet of patio and deck, to sit out side and enjoy the peaceful afternoons watching the wildlife of the area, or sitting out and taking in the "Big Sky" at night.

Features inside the lodge are 2 living areas with a big screen TV's, equipped with satellite TV, cell booster, and WiFi. Poker table, 2 full size refrigerators, fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, gas fire place, and 2 full bathrooms. Outside the lodge there is ample parking for vehicles with trailers with a circle drive, plenty of outdoor furniture and propane gas grill. If your group exceeds the comfort of our 14 person capacity, please inquire about additional camper hook up for a small fee. (Click the fee button for additional guests and notify us how many additional guests will be staying with camper)

If you would like to bring a furry friend for your northern adventure, please read over our pet policy and in your inquiry include that you agree to the terms of our pet policy. Be sure to check the pet button when making your reservation.
