Home was spotless and well appointed. Great communication from the owners and the stay couldn’t have been easier. Especially love the place was dog friendly, check out instructions were easy (no need to strip beds, start laundry, etc!) and the view couldn’t be beat.

Amazing Stay

Riverland Lodge was so clean and on a beautiful property. We sat with a cup of coffee and took in everything this place had to offer. We saw deer, turkeys, rabbits. And two bald eagles visited a tree next to the river each day. If you want some piece of mind and time to relax this is an amazing place to stay.

Great Stay

We became comfortable with the place rather quickly, nice open floor plan and clean. Ford River out back was clean and entertained us with fish. The ORV trail is about 30 yards from the driveway to trail and is in good shape. Definitely recommend staying here, hosts are great to communicate with

Riverland Lodge was wonderful!

We were very impressed with Riverland Lodge. it had a wonderful river view with a wrap around deck that you could relax and have coffee in the morning or grilling out at night. It was perfect for the relaxing vacation we wanted. It was also close to many of the sites we wanted to see. The house was very clean and well kept and had everything we needed. And the hosts were very easy to communicate with. And our dog loved it as much as we did! Definitely would recommend staying here.

Heading home feeling like a brand new woman. From check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly. Pictures posted for this listing do not do the entire property justice! The home is amazing and beautifully decorated. My family and I all felt at home the days/nights spent here. We talked about hosting several more birthday's & celebrations at Riverland Lodge.

Week in the UP

We were looking for a private property on some water to just sit back and relax. We found that and more at Riverland Lodge. The house was clean and inviting and included everything you could possibly need for the stay and plenty of room for the four of us. We spent 85% of the trip outside on the deck or around the fire pit enjoying nature at its finest. The location was perfect for running to town for groceries or quick jaunt over to the casino for a few hours. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming.

Riverland Lodge is the perfect up north get away. It's comfortable, very clean and well stocked. This was our second visit and it certainly won't be our last. We fished right outside and caught several bass. I would highly recommend this house - Audra and Steve are wonderful hosts.
