Winter Wonderland

Charlie, was kind enough to accommodate my special request. It was absolutely perfect, we had a lovey Christmas in the woods and the kids had a fantastic time playing in the snow. We had a cozy fire every day and spent the holidays enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The lodge was ideal for our special trip.

A fantastic week at Charlie’s place

We had a fantastic week at Poplar Lake Lodge. Charlie was a great host and filled us in on all the nuances of lake life. We were looking for a private escape out in nature with great fishing and that is exactly what we got. The inside is spacious and equipped with everything we needed, and the inside simply paled in comparison, to what the outdoors offered when you walk down to the lake. We’ve been to many lake houses, and this is the first lake house that had a sandy beach for children, a total game changer. Also, kiddy kingdom was very helpful for our grandchildren as they sometimes get bored with the adults focused on fishing. Thanks Charlie! We will be back.

Wonderful! Peaceful & perfect family friendly getaway!

Vacationed at Charlie's Lodge in July with my husband and four children ages 9, 8, 6, & 4. Everything was wonderful. If you're looking for a remote and peaceful get-away-from-it-all vacation, this place is for you! We only left the property once to get some groceries. There was so much to do! Charlie was very attentive and helpful. We definitely plan to come back!

Relaxation at its finest

We spent a week at this property, enjoying each others company, cooking, playing games, fishing, reading, playing pool, bad mitten, ping pong, campfires and all sorts of sand and water activities. It was a great removal of all distractions and all about being together. If your plan is to just relax, this is the place for you. The bugs were not our friends but Charlie had well prepared us for that and Off Deep Woods bug spray kept them at bay. Charlie does a great job of making sure you understand everything and is available at any time. Great vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Charlie

I was born in Chicago and came up to the U.P. with my dad to this location during the summer in the 60's. My dad died in 1974 and I continued to enjoy the U.P. In 1990 I moved up with my family and built a 4000 sq. ft. house. After 2 years my wife moved back to Chicago and I stayed. I then opened the property up for guests during the summer and have done so ever since.

Why they chose this property

The most secluded property in Upper Michigan and your own little private resort. No sharing boats, motors or anything else with other guests since there are none. You can 4 wheeler to anywhere in the U.P. right from my front door. I am centrally located,within a hour I have 3 golf courses, 3 casinos, Marquette, Pictured rocks, Escanaba, and Munising.

What makes this property unique

This is one of the largest privately stocked lakes in Michigan( no license required for fishing) and the most secluded location in the U.P. of Michigan with most of the conveniences of home. The 21/2 mile driveway has a locked gate at the beginning of the road. No permanent residents for 5 miles.
