Winter is a great time for a vacation. Explore the great outdoors or stay cozy by the fire.

One of the most peaceful places in the beautiful Upper Peninsula!

01/16/2026

We just hosted a group of friends for a week that really took advantage of all the beautiful snow we have! They snowmobiled right from the property and went all day. They also enjoyed snowshoeing on our non-motorized trails.

Want to do something fun this winter? Come check out all the fun winter options at the UP Family Lodge! Don’t enjoy being in the snow? Then enjoy our cozy lodge, sit by the fireplace and enjoy the beautiful winter scenes from the comfort of the lodge.

There are still some beautiful fall colors at the Lodge right now! We had a cancellation that opened up a few days. 🍁

The U.P. Family Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy the fall colors. We are on 7 acres, nestled back in the Hiawatha National Forest, giving you hours and hours of trails to hike or ride. We are also centrally located for quick day trips anywhere in the Upper Peninsula. Or, just sit on our front porch and enjoy the views right from the lodge! The picture below is from the front porch at sunset last September. We still have a few openings for peak colors! 🍁
