Hello Snow Cat Crew!
Brittany here with Black River Lodge. Thanks for being patient with us while we were closed between seasons and enjoying some much needed downtime. It was a BUSY summer! We just reopened yesterday and are jumping back into things.
Good news, we are ready for your bookings and look forward to having you all here in February!!
Here is an exclusive booking link for your group: https://bit.ly/reserveclowder23
We went this route as it seemed like the easiest way for you all to reserve the room you want securely and at your convenience. There are some minor limitations though as exclusive blocks requires everyone to book the same exact dates online.... see below:
If you are traveling here only for Friday and Saturday - there is nothing more you will need to do except make a booking in the room, townhouse or hostel bed of your choice.
For those of you traveling up early or staying only one night - Please use this link to book the Friday & Saturday night stay in the room, townhouse or hostel bed of your choice. Once complete, simply send me an email (
reservations@blackriverlodge.net) or text message (906-932-3857) and include the additional dates you want to stay, OR dates to remove if you are staying one night. I will make the change within 24 hours (usually within a few hours) and send an updated folio. Easy-peasy!
We currently have Wed. Feb 1 - Sun. Feb 5 exclusively held for your group. The hope is your group rents the entire lodge or very close to it for at least Friday/Saturday. However, if that does not happen, rooms not reserved will be released to the general public on 1/15/2022. .....We love being your hub! Book us out PLEASEEEE!
All standard policies and minimum nights will apply. A $50 nonrefundable deposit will be collected at the time of booking.
If you have any general questions or have any issues using the link above, please reach out to me.
A few notes:
Minimum nights: Townhouses are a strict 2 night minimum. All other rooms are flexible.
Multi-night Discount: All reservations of 2+ nights, except hostel beds, are eligible for a multi-night discount (5% off 2 nights, 10% off 3 nights, 15% off 4+ nights). This is automatically included in the 2 night rate shown online and there nothing you need to do. If you add/remove nights, your rate will change accordingly.
Travel Protection Program: Please call me to reserve if you are interested in travel protection (program that covers you in case of qualifying cancellation:
https://worryfreebookings.com/resnexus.html). Unfortunately, these reservations cannot be added using the link above and coverage cannot be added after the fact. Standard policies will apply for all "protected" reservations, except they are nonrefundable within 14 days of arrival, and 100% due up front instead of our standard deposit.
Lodge Updates:
#1 I'm sure some of you have been following on Social Media and know what's new. If you have not, some changes have been made! Our pool facility was permanently closed earlier this year (sad, we know!), and we constructed a new event room/multi-purpose space in its place. While your group does not have this space rented for a formal event, we want you to know that it will still be available for you to use as more of an expanded hangout space. Bring your camp chairs! We have pickleball and cornhole for something fun to pass the time. Eventually, we plan to add basketball and other yard type games. Don't forget, we still have a couple of billiard tables, foosball, darts, and games/puzzles around the lodge. Plenty to do!
#2 We are in the process of constructing a new bar lounge... UPSTAIRS!!
This new space is in the Birch Lounge and also includes a future general store and updated catering kitchen. All set to open in Summer 2023. This won't affect you much during your stay, however, this will be the last year the "old" bar downstairs will be in use. While we are transition this season, we are serving beer and wine only. Sorry, by Michigan law you cannot bring your own alcohol of any kind into the bar or common spaces due to licensing. (Don't shoot the messenger please.)
Again, happy to help in any way needed! See you all SOON!
