Please note the potential for noise, this is a multi-unit property with other Guests and Tenants, possibly with accompanying pets.

Short term rental units are located up a half flight of stairs. Although we do not have laundry on-site there is a laundromat a half block away. The historical older building will at times get insects one can expect from being up north in a rural area within close proximity to the lake. Lady bugs, fish flies, etc., may occasionally find their way indoors. May fly and fish fly hatches can be inconvenient and disrupting depending on what way the wind is blowing but it's a very important part of the lake eco system! Currently Isle Harbor Lodge does not offer any outside recreational areas although the building does have grass yard surroundings if you'd like to bring folding chairs or lawn games. Check back with us in 2026; we have big plans! If you're traveling with a larger group we have an additional rental unit located directly across the hall that sleeps three. Feel free to message for the links to the other unit or to rent both units together!
