Fantastic experience.

I called ahead because I would be checking in late. I was given Josh’s phone number and reached out to him to set up a check in time, he was very responsive and kind and was there to show me around at almost 11pm. The room was great, very comfortable bed, big bathroom, and breakfast was great as well.

Quiet paradise

It was historic and unique, walking distance to a local tavern. The staff made us a bonfire and joined my grandson and me for an unwinding evening. We were awakened by the sound of the breakfast bell!!! ( our alarm didn’t go off)! There was a fly fishing shop and I want to go back and renew my skills!

We enjoyed 2 days at this lovely, vintage, lodge. If you like history, antiques, and God's beautiful creation, LOOK no more - THIS is where you want to be. There are 2 very lovely porches to enjoy your book or simply listen to the Au Sable & birds and a few steps down to the river for fishing. Great dining opportunities are close or up to 20 minutes away. We plan to stay here again!!

Michigan Scenic Treasure

The views of the river, along with the history and nostalgia of the lodge create an exceptional experience. North Branch Outing Club setting is spectacular. Terry & staff made our stay extremely comfortable and provided incredible hospitality.

A lucky find

This place is a hidden gem. An historic trout club in a beautiful setting. Terry and her crew provide a delicious and hearty breakfast. And Richard who runs the fly fishing store is a wealth of knowledge.

Shelby and David were amazing hosts. The Place is stunning and the heritage is phenomenal. This is the place that Hemingway Edison and Henry Ford stayed at in the early 1900s. Very unique experience and feels like a home away from home. Couldn’t have asked for anything better wonderful time. If you were into fly fishing it’s a place to be.

Hunter, our main contact, was awesome. I wish the glass above the door in room 14 had been blacked out. It doesn’t open anyway and covering it would have blocked the action sensitive hallway lights that shown into the bedroom and woke us up constantly.

This is our second time staying at the North Branch Outing Club once in 2023 and again in 2025. Our first visit was solid largely in part to the young male housekeeper who greeted us upon arrival, gave us a tour of the house and historical elements, and chatted to us about fishing during the few days we stayed there. All in all it made for a worthwhile trip making us return customers. That brings us to this stay during July 2025. The staff is a mixed bag ranging from very open and helpful to down right cold and rude. We were in the area visiting family and thus did not spend a considerable amount of time on site. Our time on site was intended to participate in the social opportunities staying at a b&b offers - namely breakfast. Its worth mentioning that between my wife, toddler, and myself we probably weigh about 300lbs and really don't eat a lot of food especially in the morning also that I have two dogs in the room upstairs one of them needed to take some pills in the morning. I had very openly taken a small amount of eggs up to my room to use the eggs as a pocket to feed my dog a pill. On the third morning of our four day stay the lady (owner/cook/enforcer) decided it would be a good idea to confront me on my 'brazen' actions. She did so by verbally repremanding me in front of my family and guests on a day that happened to be my birthday - it was embarrassing or both of us. We packed up immediately and left and will not return - mend your manners and keep your eggs lady.
