Please ignore the VRBO language about no refunds... their system won't remove the statement however it does not apply to our property - the rental agreement that we both will sign will be in force and it includes our standard cancellation policy.

A word about our Rates.

VRBO's new format of their Rates section makes it impractical for us to input every possible rate combination for 365 days a year. The rates that VRBO automatically provides are often incorrect. Our apologies - we provide exact quotes in our responses.

Holiday Stays are $790 per night and there may be a minimum stay requirement based on the Holiday. Also in the Summer months we rent by the week only. Contact owner about possible shorter stays.

Edgetts Lodge sleeps 30 in its 6 bedrooms.

You won’t see Edgetts Lodge at first. You will see the big sign carved by a local artisan and the drive curving through 38 pristine and private acres of old-growth red pines. It takes a few minutes to get there, but when the lodge comes into view it is well worth the anticipation.

Built from the huge red pines taken right from the property, Edgetts Lodge is 5,100 square feet of hand hewn rustic log luxury and sky scraping windows. It sits high above a riverbank with a breathtaking view of the Pine River; one of Michigan’s most beautiful and unspoiled blue-ribbon trout streams.

Edgetts Lodge property runs on both sides of the river and the Pine is designated as a “Federal Wild and Scenic River” - rated one of the Mid-West’s best for kayaking and canoeing. You will see white tail deer, wild turkeys and even bald eagles in the forest. The lodge property is good for all seasons activities: trout fishing, angling, hiking, cross country skiing and snow shoeing to name a few…

As you enter the lodge, it will feel like you have come home – the perfect combination of indoor comfort and wraparound porches and decks. The lacquered pine walls, the trophies and special details: you are bathed in the golden glow. On the first floor, there is a spacious great room with a field-stone fireplace, a gourmet kitchen, formal dining room and a master suite with private balcony. Downstairs is a fully equipped, ground floor game-room with a cozy, field-stone fireplace and 2 separate “bunkhouse” bedrooms and full bathroom.

The upper floor boasts a second master suite and private balcony, a family room with built-in media room and large screen TV and two additional, multi bunk bedrooms (known affectionately as the Bear Room and the Moose Room).

All in all, Edgetts Lodge sleeps 30 comfortably. There is a game closet, a laundry room, 3 ½ bathrooms and panoramic views of the Pine River and the surrounding woods. Whether you are a family celebrating a milestone birthday or anniversary; a group of friends getting away from it all; or couples on a romantic holiday, the Lodge is the place to call “home” for a week or a weekend.

The lodge and river were fantastic! All 18 of us enjoyed our time. Mark was extremely helpful and timely in making sure our stay was all we hoped it would be. Now if we could just find some more mushrooms! Thanks for renting to us. We will be back again.

Dear Mark, Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed our family reunion at your gorgeous lodge. We had 9 adults and 10 children of all ages with plenty of room and activities for everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked with all our needs to make some great family recipes. The river with the kayaks and tubing was a perfect get away from the big city. We'll be sure to recommend your place to others. It was a memorable vacation spot. Thanks for all you and Doug did to make our vacation perfect.

Guestbook Comment

I am a pastor at a church here in Michigan and we have taken 3 trips up to the cabin for spiritual retreats. The cabin is a perfect setup for groups from the room/bed situation, to having space to gather the whole group, to the large kitchen for meal prep, not even mentioning the peace and "get away from it all" feeling you have when you're there. Mark has also put an esquisite amount of detail into the construction and feel of the cabin. I actually carry around business cards in my wallet for the lodge in case I'm in a conversation with someone looking for a great getaway, that's how much I enjoy it.

Guestbook Comment

It's hard to express in words the feeling when we entered the lodge upon our arrival - it was every bit as magical as we had hoped it would be. Our son-in-law and daughter had arrived before us and they were enjoying Doug's welcome and his wonderful review of the lodge's amenities and history. We rent a home/lodge every year for our family Christmas celebration; this year's will be etched in everyone's mind as the most memorable. We especially appreciated Doug's "hayride" through the woods on Saturday afternoon and with the freshly falling snow, it indeed was something out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Our family holiday celebration was as perfect as we could have hoped; our sincere thanks! We also would like to extend our thanks to Mark for his congeniality and his genuine wishes along with his telephone follow-up to ensure our complete enjoyment during our stay; it is obvious that there are some very special memories and a family legacy with respect to this property; we felt the "spiritual" connection and certainly appreciate and understand his family's love and attachment to this special place. Again, our sincere thanks!

Exactly what we were looking for!

We had a recent bachelor party at Edgetts Lodge and the group was looking for lodge that gave us privacy with a view. This lodge DOES NOT disappoint! The pictures absolutely do not do this place justice. Beautiful river views with amazing customer wood-work throughout. Basement offered a poker table/mini game room for our group. Fishing right out back and enough privacy to get you away from the city hustle. I would definitely recommend this lodge, as I know I'll be going back! Thanks again to Mark and his staff!

Edgetts Lodge on the Pine River

There was 22 members of our family that stayed at the Lodge. We all loved it here. The Lodge is beautiful and well maintained. The group went fishing, kayaking, and golfed at nearby courses. I walked every morning and seen deer every time. The deer even came in at night and watched us around the fire pit. It is a great place to stay, also very quiet and serene. A good place to chill out.

Awesome place, amazing views, great service and care.

Edgetts Lodge is an awesome place. First starts with Mark and care and attention to detail he puts on your stay. He took great care to make sure everything was spelled out and straight forward. Also you can tell Mark wants you to love your stay as much as he loves being up north. Then you have Doug, he is the care taker. Really nice guy and knows everything about the area. The lodge is massive, plenty of room for 14-20 people. Everything from the kitchen to all the rooms had everything we needed to feel at home. But the real magic is outside. A beautiful view of the mighty Pine River. So much space in the back, we played bags and frisbee cup for hours. Please do yourself a favor and take your family and friends. It is the most relaxing time! Thanks Mark and Doug for the amazing stay!

Magnificent views from a well built luxury home!

As a four time returnee to Edgett’s Lodge, I can not say enough wonderful things about this place! The layout of Lodge is lovely. One walks into a gorgeous entry that flows right into a magnificent great room with floor to ceiling windows, overlooking the Pine River. The wide open kitchen allows many people in to work at once. The dining area is also designed for a large group. The bedrooms are spacious and there are plenty of bathrooms. We vacation at Edgett’s Lodge yearly with a group of other professionals and our tween age kids from Ann Arbor, MI. It has become a tradition for us now. We take advantage of Caberfae Peaks during the day, make dinner together in the wide open kitchen in the evenings and then sit by the fire or put together puzzles in the great room. The kids love to play ping pong and cards in the finished basement. This year we even ventured out at dark and made a fire by the riverside fire pit and roasted s’mores. Mark has been a very kind owner and allowed us to arrival a day early and leave late this year. He is very responsive to our communicate with him and we felt cared for during our stay. We will be renting again next year!

Never Disappoints!

This is our fifth time at Edgetts Lodge, and each time the experience exceeds our expectations. From the great staff, wonderful pre-trip communication to the beauty of the winter-scape - this is a northern Michigan paradise! Plenty to do in the area for recreation, or for those who go in the winter - plenty to do if you just want to stay cozied up indoors. The best compliment I can give it is - it will make you feel as though you are at home. Thanks Mark, Doug and Julie - we will see you again!

Another perfect stay

I am running out of things to say and words to describe this Lodge and the atmosphere of peace, beauty and wonder. I had a smaller group this year of high school teens but still the place was perfect! Laughter filled flowed from the loft as the teens laughed and played games. The fire roared all weekend filling the place with warmth. Mark is an amazing owner and Doug, the caretaker is only a phone call away. I recommend Edgetts Lodge to anyone looking for a place a getaway with family and friends. It's large enough to sleep and accommodate many people, spacious enough for everyone to have their own space yet somehow cozy enough to feel quiet and intimate. It was a great weekend and already I am looking forward to next year's visit. Thank you Mark!!

Beautiful place!

Our family had a great time at the lodge. Very comfortable sitting areas for the family to spread out and relax. Wonderful view of the Pine River. The toy/game closet was a big hit with both kids and adults. The only issue was that family members over 6 foot didn't fit on the full-side beds.

Everybody wants to come back

What started as a quick getaway for the guys turned into a family vacation as it became apparent the house could sleep so many. There were no pictures of the bedrooms, so I was unsure that it could actually sleep 25. When we got to Edgetts Lodge, everyone was wowed by the house and the surroundings. It very comfortably slept 20 of us with no one sleeping on a couch or floor, and there were beds to spare. What is normally a cold time of year ended up being between 70° and 75° F, allowing us to go fishing and hiking with everyone. The little boys loved the house and the property. Just their enjoyment alone made the trip wonderful. Thank you, Mark for building such an incredible home and allowing us to use it!

Amazing Place!

Our family was totally impressed by the comfort and spaciousness of this lodge. It had all the conveniences we hoped for and was the perfect choice for our group of 14. There was room to spare. We enjoyed the big kitchen, impressive great room, and the privacy of the 5 bedrooms. It provided more that we could have imagined. Plus, the view was spectacular. Amazing!

This place was excellent!!!! Just beautiful.

We do a girls weekend every year in Sept of about 20 to 24 women (GW Nipsters). We travel to different homes within Michigan. We decided to stay at Edgetts lodge this year and it was an excellent choice. The lodge is very spacious and clean. Kitchen stocked with anything you need to cook. The caretaker Doug is really nice. Checked on us every now and then. Actually got to meet Mark the owner. Super nice person to talk with. Told us a few great story's about the lodge which we all loved. Couldn't ask for a better get away. The only challenge we had was the stairs to the river. 44 stairs shouldn't be a big deal but we are all getting older. Thank you again Mark and Doug for making our stay so fantastic!!!

A perfect place to stay with a beautiful setting.

We just completed our 12th men's retreat at G. B. C. and couldn't have asked the Lord to bless us any greater than he did. The beautiful log cabin and the property on which it is located is ideal for a time to get away from it all and enjoy the blessings of the Lord. Mark, the owner is very hospitable and has a personality as such to make his guests feel welcome and comfortable. Mark and his ground keeper are available 24/7 in case there's anything you need. We had 16 men stay in the cabin and it was very comfortable for all of them to enjoy their stay. This was the second year that we stayed at the cabin and we have already booked it for next year. The men said they feel at home and comfortable with staying at EDGETTS lodge. The sacrifice that it takes to stay at this cabin is well worth it. Thank you again Mark for making your cabin available for others to enjoy such a beautiful place. Pastor Bob

Beautiful home with a beautiful view!

We rented this beautiful house with a family group of 20 people. There was plenty of space for everyone to sleep. It was really neat to see everyone's faces as they came through the doorway! They all had the same reaction..."OH MY GOD, THIS IS JUST BEAUTIFUL." The home owner, Mark and the caretaker Doug take very good care of their guests! They checked in with us on a regular basis to see if we needed anything and to answer any questions we might have. The place was extremely clean and well maintained. Very relaxing and cozy, spent a lot of time around the outdoor fire pit. As far as the trout fishing...not sure if it was the wrong time of the season for trout (Aug 25-28), but zero fish caught. But then again, it could have been the fisherman?? LOL

Great time at the Cabin!

We had the whole extended family up for the week and the cabin lodge was absolutely perfect. It was clean & comfortable with plenty of room and felt like home right away. In all the fun chaos it was easy to cook meals in the kitchen and outside grill area. The views are magnificent and there is nothing more peaceful than waking up and having your first coffee and tea on the outdoor patio watching & listening to the river and wildlife. When we came back from kayaking on the beautiful Pine River there was plenty of room on the expansive patios to hang gear to dry and hit the river for fun the next day. There was also plenty of bathrooms and hot water for showers to clean up. One day it rained all day, so all we had to do is throw another log on the fire and play games, talk, drink, eat, and dance and just relax. No problem, because there is so much room in the lodge! We had a great time and plan to come back next year to do it all over again!

Just spent a week at the lodge. Both the lodge and setting are spectacular! Fly fishing and kayaking right out the back door was awesome. A true getaway.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for over 60 years. It also has an old trappers cabin on it that we used before the Lodge was built. Edgetts Lodge was completed in 2006.

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy a trip back in time during your visit to Edgetts Lodge. Modeled after a 19th century Log Mansion common to upstate New York in the 1800's, you will find yourself surrounded by rustic luxury on this 38 acre private estate.
