Heritage Lodge in October from the air: the log lodge among gold, red and green trees on the bank of its blue pond, with Lake Superior on the skyline — The lodge on its pond, in October.

A log lodge on its own pond, by Lake Superior.

Sleeps 10 in 5 bedrooms, with a sauna, a fire pit and 2 trails from the door, in the pines about 14 minutes east of Marquette, Michigan.

Lake Superior's shore from the air in October: the blue curve of the lake, the beach and the shore road, and the pines around the lodge's pond — Heritage Lodge from the air, a short walk across the road to Lake Superior.

Hand-hewn logs, and one big room for everyone.

Massive logs and timber beams over a great room of deep sofas and windows onto the pines. The breakfast bar is one live-edge slab of wood, and the primary suite has a sitting room and a writing nook of its own, with 4 more bedrooms beyond it.

Every room

The great room at Heritage Lodge: log walls and beams, a red and turquoise rug, leather sofas and lamps, the painted turquoise floor and windows onto the trees — The great room, under the beams.

The kitchen: a live-edge wooden slab breakfast bar on log legs with 2 iron stools, the fridge and open shelves behind, log beams overhead — The live-edge breakfast bar.

The primary suite's reading nook: a blue wing chair and a knitted footstool by a tall bookcase and 2 windows — The primary suite’s reading nook.

The sauna, then the fire pit.

Come back from the trail to the sauna inside the lodge, then out to the fire pit on the bank of the pond, all 10 of you around it. In the morning, the coffee goes out onto the deck.

Bringing a group of 10

Friends in wooden chairs around the stone fire pit, mugs in hand, yellow aspens and the pond behind them — The fire pit, by the pond.

The sauna’s log door standing open onto a small log room, with a wooden bench inside and a turquoise-painted floor — Private sauna!

Smooth stones heaped in the sauna heater’s metal tray — Sauna hot stones, ready for you!

The deck in the sun: a wooden picnic table by the rail, the arched door to the lodge and tall pines against a blue sky — The deck, for morning coffee, grilling, and more!

Every season starts at the door.

A page for each season, because the lodge is a different place in each. The Iron Ore Heritage Trail and the North Country Trail both cross the lodge’s land: walk, bike, ski or snowshoe straight out, and in winter ride the snowmobile trails from the lodge.

The trails from the door

Marquette from the air in the fall: the great iron ore dock running out into the blue harbor, the town and its autumn trees behind — Marquette’s harbor and its ore dock.

Marquette, about 14 minutes away.

West along the shore are the town’s breweries, restaurants and harbor, with Presque Isle Park about 25 minutes from the lodge. East, Munising and the cliffs of Pictured Rocks are about 34 minutes by car.
