Amazing time.
Property was amazing! We could of stayed at the property the entire week and I would of been fine (dogs were in heaven with that much space). Having 8+ bedrooms was fantastic for everyone to have their own space. The large kitchen was a plus. Can’t say anything bad about this lodge. Even Tamara was great and on top of answering any questions I had. 10 out of 10

Wonderful place for a large group with kids
Timberdoodle has the feel of a hunting lodge, but it worked well for our group ranging in age from 1-65. The kids loved the fields to run in, the apple trees, the raspberry bushes, and the pavilion with picnic tables was perfect for outdoor dining. There were plenty of beds for everyone and the kitchen was spacious with lots of fridge space.

Family Togetherness
The house was fantastic for our annual family gathering of 16! There was ample bathroom facilities, and bedrooms. We especially liked the 3rd floor boys and girls dormitories for the eight teen cousins! Living area, large dining/game tables, places for teen boys to do their daily runs, lovely views of large acrage, billiards table, huge commercial kitchen, bar area and coolers, and especially the fry griddle a son-in-law has now decided he must have. We took day excursions to many waterfalls, hiking, and beaches on Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Centrally located to almost all U.P. fun destinations. A wonderful “home” to return to at the end of the day, make dinner and enjoy a variety of evening activities. Everyone was very pleased with Timberdoodle!. Thank you!

Great Get-away!
Our extended family of 32 of all ages had a great time. The kitchen was set up for large group cooking and dining. There was enough room to eat and play games. The grass area was large enough for the kids to run around and have some great wiffle ball games. A nice surprise were the state of the art 3 washer and dryers! Tamara was a dream to work with. She answered all of our questions! It was a great vacation for all!
