The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge Closes November 16 – December 14, and Reopens for Winter December 15

Every year the staff of the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge take a vacation. This year the Lodge will be closed from November 16 through December 14, 2026.

What this means for you

  • No lodging, no front desk, and no phone service during the closure. Leave a message and we will call back after we return.
  • Cabin reservations are not available for stays during these dates.
  • The grounds are closed to visitors for the closure.

Why we close

The people who care for the Lodge need time to rest. Closing for a few weeks at the quietest point of the year lets everyone return ready for winter.

What happens on December 15

December 15 begins the winter season at the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge:

  • Winter trails open for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, weather permitting, through March 31.
  • Winter lodging guests receive a complimentary breakfast burrito and drip coffee each day. From December 15 through March 31, they also receive a complimentary dine-in lunch (12-2 pm) and take-out dinner (pickup at 5 pm), Monday through Saturday, by advance order.
  • Only the cabins on the golf-course side (cabins 1-14) are open in winter. Dog-friendly winter cabins are 3, 7, and 8.
  • Reservations require a two-night minimum and must be made at least 14 days ahead.

Moon timing matters in winter. New moons are best for stargazing and the northern lights. Full moons are best for night snowshoe hikes. Book around the moon, not just the calendar.

We will see you December 15.
