About this property

Spirit Lodge- Log Cabin with Large front porch

Spirit Lodge is located 10 minutes from downtown Madeline Island, and is just over a minute drive from the beautiful Big Bay Town Park. We have one full bedroom with a queen bed and tv, one bathroom, and a loft with a queen bed. Our main level has a kitchen, eating area, couch, dining table, and a wood stove fireplace. The basement is just partially finished, but available for you to use. While you are here at Spirit Lodge, we hope you are able to spend plenty of time enjoying our large from porch that over looks the front yard. The front yard is yours to enjoy, it is the perfect place to gather and enjoy a fire. Our year round home is located about 70 feet from Spirit Lodge.

We love our log cabin and are very happy to have others enjoy the space! Please reach out with any questions.

5 star stay!

I stayed at Spirit Lodge with my husband and 9yo kiddo. We had an awesome mini-vacation staying at Spirit Lodge. Olivia and Evan are so friendly; sparse and present in the perfect balance. This location is quiet and close to both the town and state park beaches and hikes. It was everything we were looking for. Thanks, also, for having so many board games to choose from for our nighttime entertainment :)

Great stay

The cabin is fairly removed from the downtown area of Madeline island, which is a plus if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, it’s about a 10 minute drive from town so you’re not far away either. Overall the cabin was clean and had all the amenities you would need. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again next time I’m in the area.

Hidden Gem on the Rock

This property is the most amazing place.. /Virbo we've ever rented! So warm and inviting and Evan and Olivia are by far the best hosts we've ever came across hands down! We stayed 4 nights and still couldn't fit in all of the activities Madeline Island had to offer which means we will definitely be returning! Thank you Evan and Olivia for being awesome!

Spacious, Quiet, Cozy Gem

This was our first visit ever to Madeline Island and the experience was elevated by our accommodations at Spirit Lodge! From the time I booked this trip in April all the way through check out today, I was grateful for the clear and helpful communication over the VRBO app with our host Olivia. She provided a list of recommended restaurants, activities, and overall logistics traveling to/from/around the island. Her husband Evan is a nice man who kindly offered to borrow us his 4 wheeler to use if we wanted. The property itself is very impressive. The large front porch was our favorite spot to read and drink coffee and their electric grill helped me grill up some ribeye steaks for dinner. The yard is great to throw the football around or relax with a nighttime campfire. The kitchen is FULLY stocked with the supplies and utensils you need to cook up your meals. The lofted bedroom was perfect for our daughter while the downstairs bedroom/bathroom combination worked great for us parents. At the end of our long days, we played games at the kitchen table and read either on the large couch (which also looks to be a pull-out) or venture out to the porch. The property is very close to Big Bay Town Park and a short drive to the main town area of LaPointe with restaurants, shopping options, and the ferry landing. Thank you very much to Olivia and Evan for hosting us at their wonderful property! We will be back!

Peaceful

We brought her two teenage grandchildren with us. They entertain themselves on the upper lot when we would get home from our days adventures. We enjoyed having the bonfire cooking food out there. So relaxing to sit out on the desk and truly enjoyed all of God's beauty.

Oasis on Madeline island

This is Thee place to stay on Madeline island. Far enough from town to have some privacy but close enough to run in for dinner or exploring. The Ralph’s have supplied literally anything you could need or wants your trip. They have an amazing porch and huge yard that our kids enjoyed playing soccer and frisbee and other activities. If we travel back to Madeline again we will def be staying here.

Cozy Cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at the Spirit Lodge while visiting Madeline Island! The cabin was very comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. It’s in a more secluded area on the island but still a short drive from the downtown area which was the perfect location for us. It’s surrounded by forest which made it feel very private and relaxing! The owners were very friendly and helpful with giving us some information about the island during our stay. Our boat tour that we booked ended up getting canceled, so we spent that afternoon exploring the nearby town park, which was beautiful, and then spent some time relaxing at the cabin with a fire in the fire pit and some s’mores. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Who knew?

Cozy little cabin with huge charm factor. When packing, I did bring alot only to find that every little detail has already been provided at Spirit Lodge. From fire wood to "Poo-Pouri" we were in need of absolutely nothing and had a very relaxing stay. Looking forward to next summer, when we hope to visit again and possibly bring some friends. Thank you!

Relaxing

We had such a nice relaxing stay. This property is close to big bay town park and the state park. It was very peaceful and just what we needed. We took advantage of the porch to sip on our morning coffee and the bonfire ring at night just listening to nature. The beds were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay without having to bring a lot of extras including board games. The hosts were really friendly and made this stay that much more enjoyable.
