Host was great and easy to get in touch with, Parking is good as long as it’s been plowed prior to arrival as ours was. Access to the trail is a little tricky but doable for experienced riders unless the road is snow covered over then you can access trails by the road. Nearby store is open if weather permits, very useful in last minute items needed. Three of the double beds are fold out beds and two of the twins are fold out roll always, portable beds were in good shape. Use of garage while renting the house was nice for sled thawing and night gathering around a heater which we brought. We plan to return next season for more riding.

Favorite Family Vacation
This is our second summer in the UP and it won’t be our last. Our stay at Maple Ridge made our vacation all the sweeter this year. The cabin was as described/pictured, clean with a well stocked kitchen. Our family of nine (seven children ages 17 to four) had plenty of space to comfortably enjoy our week away with a great selection of both inside and outside toys and games. Our first evening there we had planned to unpack the van and “set up” for the week. Much to my surprise we ended the evening with a game of washers with the teens, a campfire and star gazing! Lisa, the host was very helpful with directions, timely communication and even shared information about the local 4th of July festival. Without hesitation we will stay at Maple Ridge the next time we are in the UP.

Awesome place.
Such a nice clean, comfortable house. We were there with my family, which included six adults, a nine month, old, baby, and two dogs. It worked out great that we each had our own level to sleep on. There is no air conditioning but that’s not a problem. Open the windows at night and close them in the morning and you’ll stay plenty cooI. It was about a 15 to 20 minute drive to Munising. We went hiking, kayaking, tour, boat cruise, and a great brewery called By George, which we visited every day. LOL . You must hike to the beach…beautiful and bigger beach than Mexico resorts. The pizza place across from the brewery was very good also and offered vegetarian and vegan options. You must try the pasties. They were great and we also ate at Captain Ron’s fish food truck. The grocery store was a bit expensive so I would recommend you bring as much food and booze as you can. There is a small general store down the road from the house that’s helpful. Bring mosquito spray if going in June. We also bought a stroller mosquito net for the baby but put it over her (and the person carrying her) when hiking. She didn’t get a single bite! Lisa made our reservations and arrangements effortlessly and kept in constant contact. So professional and efficient. Thank you, Lisa!!! We did buy firewood for bonfires, but forgot the sun stays up until around 9:30 PM , then the mosquitoes came out and we ran inside. Overall very enjoyable house and we will definitely stay there again.
