Lots of room. Very nice amenities inside and out.

The Hornets Nest Lodge was incredible; I took my dad, brother, and three boys for a golf trip. The lodge was perfect, very clean, and had plenty of space! Everyone loved the place and planning to come back next year! Mike was an excellent host; definitely a 5-star lodge!!

Great property for families. Lots of space and things to do. This lodge was perfect for our out of town family to stay after our wedding reception. The owner was flexible to accommodate our needs. Beautiful lodge, comfortable beds. Highly recommend!

we were there to snowmobile ride. This place was great for everything except we had to trailer our sleds to the trails. plenty of space for what we needed. beautiful place. Loved the spacious parking. only thing needed was an outside hot tub. Would highly recommend this property to anyone.

We enjoyed our stay at the lodge. Very spacious, clean and cozy. Outdoor fireplace is great!

The guys definitely put a lot of love and care into this place! It had everything we needed and some things we didn't even think we needed (s'mores stuff, bug spray, football, laundry detergent, and more!). The "extras" in the woods was a fun surprise and the kids absolutely loved it! It was the perfect middle ground for all the amazing sights! We will definitely be back!

Very nice place. Fit our needs well.

Great low stress experience

We enjoyed our stay at Hornet's Nest! Plenty of room for our entire family and very clean. Favorite parts were the main shower, fire pit area and wrap around deck. Would definitely return!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this wonderful place. We enjoyed fires in the great fire pit area telling family stories and creating new ones. We loved going on walks on the trails to find the creatures hidden in the woods and playing cards at the game table. We found two creeks very close to the house that were perfect for the kids. We also enjoyed ice cream twice at the Dairy Flo in Rapid River. There are lots of things to do within an hour or so like the Pictured Rocks Boat Tours.

Had a wonderful time at the Hornets Nest. Plenty of room for my extended family and all the kids. The rain shower was a nice touch as well as the activities in the house and outside. Thanks!!

This home had everything we needed and more. The little touches like s’mores supplies were great. The location was perfect. Our kids loved finding Bigfoot and other creatures in the trees. We had a wonderful stay. Looking forward to coming back next year.

The cabin is amazing. Plenty of deck space to entertain, plenty of property to have fun. There is plenty of space to park and a nice circle drive which is helpful for those with trailers if you have one. There is also a trail to ride just across the road! Plenty of access to all of the U.P. trails if that's what you're looking for. I wish my SxS wasn't out of commission for the trip. The owner stayed in contact with me consistently through our stay. No major problems during our stay, but we did have the power go out for a few minutes, but my guess is it was something with the power company. Still, the owner messaged me back right away when I asked him about it. The only warning I have is mind the mosquitos. The cabin has 4 or 5 bug zapper type devices, but the mosquitos are still bad, but I believe that to be a U.P. staple in general. The location is pretty central to all the U.P. has to offer, which is awesome and convenient. Very nice cabin, definitely recommended. If I stay up in the U.P. again, I will look it up again to see if it's booked out or not.

This was an amazing place. There really is a topnotch cross country skiing and snowshoeing system literally across the road; well laid out lodge, with a really nice shower, hang out area upstairs, kitchen/ dining room/ etc downstairs. In terms of cleanliness, was immaculate when we showed up with a freshly plowed driveway/ parking area. We'll definitely be returning.

Excellent time

Excellent time

The house wasn’t too far from town. It’s not in the best location for snowmobilers, but has a TON of room for large trailers if you don’t mind transporting them. Our group had two full sized trucks and a 36’ enclosed trailer with plenty of parking/maneuvering to spare! The owner was quick to respond and very friendly. The property is in a beautiful and secluded setting. We didn’t use the fire pit but it was shoveled out for us. The drive was also plowed prior to our arrival. The inclined walkway to the porch is really slippery— the concrete is glossy smooth, not combed with texture. Unfortunately we had some problems during our stay. We encountered gas/water leaks that needed addressed —the owner promptly communicated with us and stopped by to attempt to fix them (they were not fixed). We were a bit frustrated to learn suspicions of a gas leak were known prior to our arrival. The stove was leaking gas. The faucet on the tub leaked water on the floor of the bathroom and the washing machine also leaked a considerable amount of water even after using “small” load settings as directed by the owner. The house was not clean. I did request the owner not spray chemicals (like fragrances, Febreeze, wall plug -ins) prior to our arrival due to allergy issues but we didn’t expect the floors to be so dirty (we wiped up a lot of water due to leaks—paper towels and mops were black with grime), there were piles of dead flies in the window sills in the kitchen and upstairs, also heavy dust and cobwebs throughout. We were under the impression the house was a new build but it may have been partially renovated. Drywall on the ceiling in one bedroom had significant paint peeling and cracks around an entire sheet of drywall. It appeared to be leaking at some point although the ceiling wasn’t an active leak while we were there (but no rain either!). Several kitchen drawers were filthy with rusty/broken kitchen utensils and debris, my friend cleaned them and reorganized them. IMO Pots and pans need to be replaced. If using the kitchen is important to you, bring your own cookware.

We had a amazing stay. Close to the Hiawatha Forest. We able to spend lots time grouse hunting within a short distance of the lodge. Rapid River restaurants are only a few short miles away. We will be back next year.

A beautiful property to enjoy!

Spacious, cleanliness, and comfort was great!

My family (me, my husband, our two boys ages 3 and 6, mother and father in law, and 13 year old nephew) stayed here for 4 nights and it was a blast!!! The property is just beautiful! All the little characteristics such as the hornest nests, the sculptures, and the hornet you turn on made for a very unique stay! The shower is quite amazing and the kitchen comes fully stocked. We loved every second being at this house and hope to make another trip back in the future. Thank you so much!

Everything was great. Location was perfect for seeing Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Clean space with privacy and tons of seating. The poker table upstairs provided lots of entertainment.

Its a beautiful place for a large group. We all enjoyed our stay

Property is all you would expect! Nicely furnished. Will stay here again. don't forget to ask Alexa to turn on the Hornet! Also, watch out for sasquach, lol

All the ladies on our annual girls trip had an amazing time. The house was spacious enough for all of us and PLENTY of room outside for all sorts of yard games. We enjoyed the volleyball court and the fire pit. We usually spend all our time eating at the house and this year I forgot my knives so I was VERY thankful that the knives were amazing. I’m the chef of the group and made my weekend much better. 😊 Sometimes it’s the little things. Loves the grills outside, the side burner came in handy! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The lodge was great. Good size for groups, close to trails, and intimate woodsy setting.

We had a great time at the Hornets lodge. Perfectly located. The pictures don’t do It justice. Traveled with my elderly mother, sister and kids-2 young adult, three kids and a baby. Perfect fit for all of us.

All in the group enjoyed the stay again this year
