Exciting News at Bearing North Lodge: Welcome Lisa from Hiawatha Vacation Homes!

1/2/26

While we are sad to announce that our previous hosts, Dave and Maureen, have retired, we’re thrilled to share some wonderful news with you! Bearing North Lodge is now proudly hosted by Lisa at Hiawatha Vacation Homes! This partnership brings together everything you love about a peaceful Northwoods getaway with the ease, care, and local expertise of a trusted Upper Peninsula vacation rental team.

Taking the Work Out of Your Vacation

Hiawatha Vacation Homes is based right in Munising, tucked into the heart of the Hiawatha National Forest and just minutes from the breathtaking Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Their motto says it all: “Taking the Work Out of Your Vacation.”

That means when you book Bearing North Lodge, you can relax knowing Lisa and her team have the details handled, from smooth check-in to thoughtful preparation, so you can focus on making memories.

A Perfect Match for Northwoods Adventure

Lisa and Hiawatha Vacation Homes specialize in unique, character-filled vacation rentals surrounded by nature. From Lake Superior shorelines to woodland escapes, they understand what makes an Upper Peninsula stay truly special. Bearing North Lodge fits beautifully into that vision, offering you:

• A peaceful riverfront setting

• Easy access to waterfalls, forests, and trails

• A cozy, history-filled lodge that feels like home

• A central base for exploring Munising, Marquette, and beyond

  
  

Whether you’re planning to hike, fish, kayak, snowmobile, or just unplug with family and friends, you’ll be perfectly positioned for adventure.

Explore More, Stress Less

Staying with Hiawatha Vacation Homes means you’re surrounded by some of Michigan’s most unforgettable scenery, over 15 miles of dramatic sandstone cliffs, hidden waterfalls, inland lakes, and even boat tours along Pictured Rocks. And if you’re feeling adventurous, Grand Island, shipwreck tours, biking trails, and forest hikes are all waiting just outside your door.

Same Beloved Lodge, Fresh Hospitality

While the heart and charm of Bearing North Lodge remain unchanged, this new hosting partnership adds an extra layer of care and local know-how. Lisa’s passion for the area and commitment to guest experience ensure your stay is comfortable, welcoming, and truly worry-free.

The only minor downside of our new relationship is that all of our awesome 2024-25 reviews on Airbnb and VRBO disappeared. That's OK, you can still find them on our reviews page and we look forward to all the new reviews with Lisa as host.

We can’t wait for you to experience Bearing North Lodge under its new hosting home. Take a look at upcoming availability, start dreaming about your next Upper Peninsula escape, and get ready to enjoy the Northwoods the way it’s meant to be, relaxed, scenic, and unforgettable.
