Michigamme Lodgings

MAPLE RIDGE RESORT
(906) 323-6334
This attractive resort on the north shore of Lake Michigamme consists of a long building built into a hillside, with 6 large, 1,000-square-foot apartments with knotty pine walls, each on one level. The three upstairs units open onto a shared 90' veranda. Park-like lawns with some birch trees lead gradually down to the lake, where a harbor has been created to protect docked boats from winds off the lake. 14' fishing boats and canoes may be rented. There's a small, gravelly swimming beach, a beachside deck with gas grill, a fish-cleaning house, playground, and horseshoes. Another deck and grill are at the end of the building. The web site gives a good idea of the surroundings and rental units. Most units have two bedrooms and sleep a family of 5. Picture windows look out to the lake. Each has 2-78 -channel cable TV, free wi-fi and a complete kitchen. Guests can use the office phone. Furnishings are functional rather than charming. Rates are weekly in summer ($750 for two people). In other seasons there's a three-night minimum for the seven apartments; one smaller unit has overnight rates. 2 miles from Van Riper State Park. Near snowmobile trail. There's a heated garage for snowmobilers. -8/2010
