I tried to renew a family tradition of staying at the lodge for christmas eve. I called to make the reservation (prices are decent), and asked if the lodge restaurant would be open for Christmas eve and Christmas day. I was told that it would. We arrived late that afternoon(you can only check in after 4), and once we checked... more

This past weekend when my son had a half day of school, we stayed one night at the Pere Marquette Lodge on a Friday and then checked out early the next morning and attended an eagle education / viewing program with the Pere Marquette naturalist the next morning at 8:30 a.m. that started at the Vistor Center next door. It... more

We are currently getting ready to place all new furniture in the cabins and main lodge and have recently finished the upgrade to our bathroom vanities. The lights in the room you refer to are operated via a switch...

My husband and I just stayed at the lodge. A friend reccomended the place, and we were very grateful!!! We got the room at a great rate ($59) which was perfect, and fit our budget. Check in was pretty easy, we waited in the winery room. The wine was great, perfectly priced, and the woman who served us was fantastic!... more

We stayed one night in a cabin room which is like a hotel room but not connected to the lodge. The room was clean, but very basic - no frills. It was fine for a one night stay. The room was discounted for certain dates in September, which was good because I would have expected more for the full price.... more

Our Family stayed in the Cabins at Pere Marquette and had a great weekend. We rented 6 cabins. They are rustic looking with stone etc.. Sure beats camping. The only thing we didnt like is they need to put a little refrigerator in each room to keep your drinks in. Also we wished they had put some benches to sit... more

Here at Pere Marquette Lodge we strive to make every person's experience an unforgettable one. In some case's you cannot make everyone happy! At Weddings, the staff has specific instructions from the Bride that we must follow. I try to guide them in the right direction if I feel one of their decisions is not going to be in the...

Fun Stop. Great hiking, nice little town. Fun lodge. It is older so don't expect luxury. We stayed in a cabin - much bigger than a lodge room and clean. Food was reasonable and okay. Winery was okay but again fun. Staff - well they need to work on that. Certainly lack any happiness or fun. Other than the blah... more

What a cozy lodge! I have been wanting to stay here for 15+ years and finally got to for one night. Stayed in a cabin with my family and it was wonderful. So rustic with awesome scenery! The grounds are beautiful and a pleasure to walk around. Check in and out was smooth and easy - great staff. Dinner at... more

Enjoyed three relaxing days, with cabin accommodations. The scenery was breath taking, especially watching the humming birds from the dining room window feeders. Very friendly & helpful staff. The wine bar hostess was very informative regarding the local vinyard and wine process, plus very friendly. Looking forward to return in Autmn, to enjoy another memerable three days, plus Autmn colours. more
