Lodge

The Lodge is available for rental year-round and is open to all club members in good standing and to non-members who are accompanied by a member. The Lodge is unavailable on dates for Club scheduled trips (generally 2-3 times per year).

Nestled in the pine trees, near the best skiing and snowboarding mountains in northern Michigan is the Oak Park Lodge. Our 10 bedroom, 3 bath well-kept lodge is located in Boyne Falls, MI, approximately 6 hours north of Chicago metro area.

The Lodge is across the street from the entrance to Boyne Mountain or a 30-minute drive to Boyne Highlands or Nub’s Nob. So whether you enjoy winter or summer sports, or just the opportunity to get away, check out the lodge rules, and make a reservation today.

See what Matt from midwestskiers.com had to say about our lodge when he stayed at it on one of his trips.
