OUR STORY

A Family-Run Retreat in the Copper Country

Housed in the historic 381 Elks Lodge, The Lodge Luxury Suites is a father-daughter venture that preserves the craftsmanship of an earlier era while offering every modern comfort.

Steve and Sydney Polakowski — lifelong Upper Peninsula locals — transformed this storied building into an intimate boutique experience. Terrazzo floors, original trim, and soaring ceilings meet full kitchens, Purple mattresses on inclinable massage bases, and smart TVs in every suite.
