Property Description
The Hornets Nest Lodge, is a brand new lodge built in 2018 fondly Named in honor of our grandfather Harvey J Potvin, who was a UP woodsman for over 80 years. This beautiful lodge is nestled in the quiet serene woods near the Hiawatha National Forest. If you are looking to get away as a family, a ATV/Snowmobile enthusiast, a group gathered together to get their hunt on, or friends looking to spend some quality time in the peaceful Upper Peninsula, then this lodge is exactly what your looking for.
We are 2 brothers who have been passionate about this land, trying to recreate our childhood camp experiences. We have many memories growing up visiting grandpa, and recently decided it was time to rebuild the old homestead of our past and make it more comfortable, accessible, and to allow others to come into our home to make their own memories.
The Hornets Nest Lodge is centrally located in the Upper Peninsula. Its location puts you only a 10 minute drive to Lake Michigan, or a 45 minute drive to Lake Superior. It is adjacent to tens of thousands of acres of Hiawatha National Forest Land, a hand full of miles from the ATV/snowmobile trail head, and across the highway from one of the best Nordic ski, skate, snowshoe trails in Upper Michigan.
The Lodge is approximately 3000 square feet of living space, decorated with a modern rustic theme. All furniture, cookware, beds/bedding linens are all brand new. Also the lodge features over 2000 sq feet of patio and deck, to sit out side and enjoy the peaceful afternoons watching the wildlife of the area, or sitting out and taking in the "Big Sky" at night.
Features inside the lodge are 2 living areas with a big screen TV's, equipped with satellite TV, cell booster, and WiFi. Poker table, 2 full size refrigerators, fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, gas fire place, and 2 full bathrooms. Outside the lodge there is ample parking for vehicles with trailers with a circle drive, plenty of outdoor furniture and propane gas grill. If your group exceeds the comfort of our 14 person capacity, please inquire about additional camper hook up for a small fee. (Click the fee button for additional guests and notify us how many additional guests will be staying with camper)

This was our fourth year staying at the Hornets Nest, our group loves the house and how it's set up. The place is an incredible house, and the property is fantastic, with plenty of space for any group. Thanks again, Mike, for letting us stay at your fabulous house. Looking forward to next year!!

Clean and spacious
This is a great place to stay. Me and my group had a great time. Only thing is I wish we would’ve had some more trash bags, paper towels, and something other than single ply toilet paper. All those are relatively small. The overall property was great and very clean.

Good, a couple of areas for improvement.
I'm not sure how long something should be considered "new". This property is now 5 years old.
Very spacious and comfortable. Firepit area was great. Concerns: Kitchen is poorly stocked with cooking and serving tools (fry pans, large bowls, etc. were lacking). Internet was VERY SLOW - hard to use. And cell service was poor due to location. Quite a bit of road noise due to location near highway. Wasn't a problem for us, but only 2 bathrooms for 14 people would be a problem. Safety concern is the bowing of the decks. You wouldn't want 14 people on those decks!

Family Golf Trip
The Hornets Nest Lodge was incredible; I took my dad, brother, and three boys for a golf trip. The lodge was perfect, very clean, and had plenty of space! Everyone loved the place and planning to come back next year! Mike was an excellent host; definitely a 5-star lodge!!
