Mountain View Lodges

This was our third visit to Mountain View Lodges and we've loved every trip. I waited too late this time to be able to reserve a Beach Front cottage so we stayed in 111 which is the farthest from the Lake. But it was a great cottage to stay in. Secluded and quiet. It was just a short walk to the beach and we were able to sit on the beach and take in a beautiful sunset on Lake Superior and have a campfire. Will definitely visit again.

The cabin was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Kitchen well equipped for simple meals. The check-in & check-out process was efficient. The only reason for the 4 star versus 5 stars is not providing amenities such as shower soap or shampoo & conditioner. It’s a small thing but it’s not convenient to have to purchase these items to be used for only 1 of the properties my friend & I were staying at during our visit to Michigan. In fairness to the proprietor, we were warned about this in advance of our stay and were prepared but would have preferred to pay a little bit more not to have the hassle. Otherwise my friend & I can recommend this place for a quiet & comfort setting. Make sure you request a lake side view as not all of the cabins have it.

It is the only place to stay for the best views. So convenient and comfy. The wooden swing and fire ring were such a treat. It was clean and had everything we needed. We plan to be back every year!!

Beware. Although on trip advisor it indicate they are pet friendly, they are not. We brought our family (some flew in from different continents to be here) here and our service dog. We communicated that we have a service dog. We were only there for 2 days. We vacuumed the place before we left and they charged us a surprise cleaning fee. It would be a different story if they were upfront but they were not. We did not appreciate their poor communication on this matter and their fake pet friendliness. Will be taking my business elsewhere.

We stayed with Mountain view lodges in Oct of 2022. First the cabins are beautifully decorated in a mountain cabin motif. Cabins are clean and comfortable. The location is about as close to the Porcupine Mountains State Park as one can get. Located directly on the Lake Superior shoreline. We enjoyed beach bonfires, and sunsets. Hiking in the Porkies is fantastic. Lake in the clouds is a must see, and the Summit peak was an awesome hike to the top. Save some time for chasing waterfalls too. Back to the cabin, do note this is a place to "unplug" cell phone receptions is spotty to non-existent. The cabins do have WIFI if you must connect to the outside world. We found the kitchen well appointed with all the necessary items to prepare meals. Even a crock pot for set it and forget it meals. Their is a small gas station / party store if you forget some essentials. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend to any travelers.

My husband and I have been here several times over the years. Have always loved staying here. The cabins are spotless and the owners are great people. This year I came with a son and his family. They fell in love with it. The view is outstanding.From a campfire on the beach to magnificent sunsets and dipping your toes into Lake Superior it is definitly a place to come back to again and again.
