Summary: Our family had a wonderful stay at Lake Huron Lodge. Beautiful, serene setting and charming, large lakefront cabin with lots of amenities make this a great place for family and friends to play and relax. I enjoyed cooking daily meals in the well-appointed kitchen and outdoor grilling area. We rented a boat nearby and had a great time tubing and fishing in the area. With so much to do in Les Cheneaux and the sheer beauty and solitude of the place, we’ll keep making the 9 hour drive to come back!
