Within 10 miles, explore top attractions such as the Whitefish Point Lighthouse, Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, Whitefish Bird Observatory, and the majestic Tahquamenon Falls. A bit farther afield, discover Oswald’s Bear Ranch, the Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie, or the scenic destinations of Mackinac Island, Mackinaw City, and St. Ignace — all within an easy hour’s drive.
    Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to snowmobile trails just down the road, offering endless winter fun. Whether you’re seeking tranquility, adventure, or a front-row seat to passing freighters and spectacular sunrises, this Lake Superior haven delivers an unforgettable Upper Peninsula experience.

We very much enjoyed our stay! Gitchie Gumee Lodge is very conveniently located very close to Paradise and a short drive from The Shipwreck Museum in one direction and Tahquamenon Falls in the other. The house is lovely and has everything we needed including great views of the bay. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the waves. Kitchen was well-stocked and very nice, as well!

This property was absolutely beautiful! It was everything my family and I wanted. We wanted a place where we could enjoy being right on Lake Superior and the outdoor space was AMAZING! It had some beach space which it looked like other properties around did not. We used the firepit almost every night and the host even provided the wood to burn. Multiple Adirondack chairs to use to either enjoy the fire, look out over the lake or sit on the deck. Having a washer and a dryer available to use was a godsend with a family of 6. The beds were super comfortable. Checking in was extremely simple as well.

The Gitchie Gumie was truly amazing an did not disappoint in anyway. Waking w/ the sunrise and enjoying magic beans in the large mugs provided, enjoying breakfast in the well appointed kitchen, taking in the views in the Adirondack chairs ... all inspired me to paint a watercolor on the porch ... music and a glass of vino! Perfect. Had surf and turf on the grill, enjoyed the fireplace ... everyday dialing into relaxation ... comfortable beds, lovely well appointed bathrooms. Truly lovely. Only one small suggestion, please consider supplying martini glasses. With that ... I would rate 5 stars and will come back!Best,Lisa

This home is an architectural masterpiece!  We loved the way it is integrated with the beautiful natural environment surrounding it.  With all the wonderful windows and skylights, you get the feeling of being in a luxuriously appointed tree house.  It is so tastefully decorated and provides   guests with every imaginable convenience—we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great place to stay

Dale was great! Home was very accommodating for our family trip. Conveniently located to many sites for day trips exploring the upper peninsula. Beautiful sunrises in the morning and the highlight for me was watching a lake otter play in the water.

Fabulous time at Gitche Gumee Lodge!

We stayed with our adult children and it was perfect for us. We had plenty of space to relax and gather for games and meals in the evening. It was centrally located for all the activities we had planned in the UP. A beautiful view of the lake and we saw ships every day. Dale was available for any questions we had and made sure we had a comfortable stay.

Beautiful property! This home was perfect for our “up north” family vacation. We enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen, relaxing on the back patio with the beautiful view of the lake, and waking up to the colorful sunsets over the water.Dale does a wonderful job making this a welcoming space - kitchen is fully stocked with anything you need for cooking, baking, etc. Bedrooms are comfy/cozy with plenty of blankets and extra pillows.We took day trips out to Oswald’s bear ranch (45 minute drive), the falls (15-20 min drive depending on road work), and Whitefish Point (12 minute drive)
