This is 1 of 2 equally spectacular mountain lodges available to stay on 60 acres of secluded "mountaintop" right in mid-Michigan. Rent one or both properties for your family, friend, corporate or wedding event.

Welcome to the Caribou Ridge Lodge. One of Michigan's most stunning and spectacular vacation homes. Caribou Ridge Lodge, along with it's sister lodge, Elk Ridge Lodge (also available for rent), sits atop 60 private wooded acres of Mio Mountain. Guest's won't even believe they are not in the middle of the Smoky Mountains. Both Lodge's offer incredible, 180 degree panoramic views of the entire Ausable River Valley from throughout the Lodge's, wraparound decks, and outdoor entertaining areas.

Guests are greeted by a giant log archway at the start of the over 1/2 mile long driveway that winds through the 60 wooded acres up to the top of the ridge where the lodge sits.

Caribou Ridge Lodge has over 235 five star reviews with over 10 years of history as a vacation rental. Many guests have came every year since their first visit.

This custom designed cedar log construction lodge features an endless array of custom design elements and unique furnishings. The Lodge can comfortably sleep 28 people, making it perfect for large groups, weddings, reunions, or family gatherings.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire lodge as well as the entire 60 acre property. The large driveway can accommodate a large number of vehicles with plenty of room to maneuver trailers etc. It is common to see bald eagles and hawks soaring along the ridgeline directly in front of the properties.

Many guests snowtube, sled, or even snowboard down the long driveway during the winter. Sleds are typically available for guests to use.

Guests can reach the Au Sable River and the Mio Dam area in 3-4 minutes by car to enjoy all kinds of water activities including swimming, boating, kayaking, canoeing, river tubing, fishing, etc. Several businesses offer canoe, kayak, or tube rentals just a few minutes from the driveway.

The property is also just a few hundred feet from groomed state ATV/UTV/snowmobile trails. The trails are easily accessible from the driveway and trailering is not necessary.

The property features an outdoor steam sauna but new panoramic view barrel saunas for each lodge are pending installation along with either a new swim spa or pool. Check back for updates.

TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION
I would not book using this property manager as he was very hard to get ahold of. I had two phone numbers to get in touch with him after trying several times messaging through VRBO. The first phone number was disconnected and after leaving a voicemail on the second number and not hearing anything, I finally texted the number and was communicating with someone else who works for the property manager. She was the only one helping me for awhile until about a week prior to our stay. When we arrived the property was just as the pictures portrayed however we did not have any hot water at first and our tv was not working which was disappointing because we wanted to watch the football game and ended up having to go to the bar to do so. None of the sliding doors locked either. We were told a new tv would be delivered in the morning and then never heard from anyone again. The property was beautiful but it was so stressful booking with this property manager that I would never book here again.

Great Views!
We had a group of 16 men go up north on a golfing trip and couldn't have been happier with this location and set up.

Loved it
Adam was extremely accommodating, place was clean and we had a great time relaxing with a spectacular view! Only thing we missed was not having a hot tub. Sauna was nice though. I’d highly recommend this place
