Reminder: Payment is by credit or debit card only.
The Lodge is open year-round, focused on cabin guests. We have multiple activities and operations going on at the Lodge, with our hours updated based upon the time of the season and special events. Changes to any of the hours will be updated on this page and/or the pages associated with the area of our operations (e.g. outdoor activities, dining, etc.). We are different than your normal resort, so please pay attention to our hours of operations as they are setup to provide a quiet and peaceful experience.
The Lodge is only available to Cabin Guests at this time.

Staff Holidays
The Lodge is a year-round resort. However, we do close for staff holidays November 16 – December 14 and the month of April (except during the days of the annual Upper Peninsula Dark Sky Festival).
In April, we open during the annual Upper Peninsula Dark Sky Festival, with the dates of the festival changing each year in alignment with International Dark Sky Week (which is in alignment with the new moon in April). However, the rest of the April is closed for staff holiday.
These holiday periods give staff the ability to take a holiday and relax in between busy seasons at the top of the Keweenaw.
