CONDITION:   great for ATV's --LETS ALL PRAY FOR SNOW--
   

It’s getting cooler at night, we all know what that means. Snow, Snow, Snow is coming soon. Well the new sled models are showing up at the dealers and are looking very cool. Snow isn’t that far away right now so we all have to get those sleds ready for this years riding. Drop the suspension and check the idler wheels and change the Hyfax. Change the gear lube in the chain case and lube the front and rear suspension with some low temp grease. If your sled is a couple years old you might want to have your shocks rebuilt. Nothing rides like fresh shocks. Throw in a new set of plugs and a new belt and you are ready for another year. Until the snow hits check out the ATV, Fishing and Mushroom reports here on FishWeb, your source for the North.

Get ready for this winter and reserve your rooms early. Right now we are running a Mid Week Special for December. Rent three nights Sunday through Thursday and get the forth night free. (No Fridays or Saturdays Free) Or our Weekend Special, stay Friday and Saturday and get a late check out on Sunday, (2pm), for free. We need to know at time of reservation, if you are taking advantage of our specials and of course they are dependent upon availability.

Check out the WOLFCAM for the snow totals.

. I CAN NOT SAY THIS ENOUGH, WEEKDAY RIDING IS THE BEST. SMOOTH TRAILS AND LESS TO NO TRAFFIC.

We are a pet friendly Resort, but you can’t leave your pet unattended in the room unless it’s in a cage or kennel while you are out riding. We love pets, but we love our carpet too.

Make sure you STOP when they see the groomers so they can move by. It's really dangerous to have riders keep moving when the groomers pass. Make sure you wave and show your support. Also, please stay off the ribbon so it will set up, and the trails will stay smoother longer.

Here is a list of the snowmobile trails in this area, are you ready? The Baldwin trails, (146 miles) go west to Reed City and south from here to Newaygo, Irons trails wrap around Wolf Lake and then heads north, east and west for 122 miles and connects to Cadillac and Wellston trails, Cadillac trails connect into the Irons and Wellston trails all the way to Cadillac, then south to Leroy, they groom 124 miles, Wellston trails goes west to connect to Cadillac trails and south to the Irons Trails and west to Freesoil for 68 miles and north to the, Benzie/Manistee trail system. The Pere Marquette trail connects to The Baldwin trail and all the way to Evart and up to Leroy 144 miles, the south Pere Marquette trail goes to Grand Rapids, I think about 140 miles, then north the Benzie/Manistee trail goes all the way to the Maple City another 147 miles I think. Let's total this up, 146 + 122 + 124 + 68 + 144 + 140 + 147 = 891 in groomed connecting trails just in this area alone and we are right in the middle of them. I don't know about you but that's a ton of riding. Now there is more trails to get to, but that would be just over kill and this is not even counting all of the two tracks and seasonal roads that you can ride. Why spent an extra $200 to $300 in fuel to get to Gaylord or the UP when we have fantastic riding right here. .

Remember that the mid week riding is the best, less to no traffic, no lines at the gas pump and you don’t have to worry so much about the crazies coming up the trail at you.

. There are over 890 miles of connecting groomed trails that run through this area and surrounding areas, so why would you want to go anywhere else? Plus miles and miles of two tracks and seasonal roads. We have two bedroom lake front rooms with full kitchens, living rooms with a sofa sleeper, (sleeps 6 - $99 a night), double lake front rooms with a queen and full beds and a kitchenette and dining table and chairs (sleeps 4 - $79 a night). Double motel rooms with two double beds and a mini fridge, (sleeps 4 - $53 a night) and single motel rooms with one full bed, (sleeps 2 - $39 a night) and our large Suite which has two bed rooms with queen bunk beds and a queen sofa sleeper, full kitchen, full living room, a breakfast bar and a fireplace (sleeps 10 - $ 149 a night). We have something for everyone.

We are snowmobilers too, and know if there isn’t enough snow to ride, I don't want to ride in the dirt either, so if you reserve a room and there isn't enough snow to ride, just give us a call and cancel your room with no penalties. But if there is good snow we expect you to keep your reservation. If you want to come to this area, just give us a call toll free at 877 745 4101 or from a cell phone call 231-745-4101 and if we don't have a room, we will try our best to find you a room, so call soon to get your room reserved or they will be all gone. We do have some discounts at the casino and a few local restaurants to save you even more money.
