Welcome to the Caribou Ridge Lodge. One of Michigan's most stunning and spectacular vacation homes. Caribou Ridge Lodge, along with it's sister lodge, Elk Ridge Lodge (also available for rent), sits atop 60 private wooded acres of Mio Mountain. Guest's won't even believe they are not in the middle of the Smoky Mountains. Both Lodge's offer incredible, 180 degree panoramic views of the entire Ausable River Valley from throughout the Lodge's, wraparound decks, and outdoor entertaining areas.

Guests are greeted by a giant log archway at the start of the over 1/2 mile long driveway that winds through the 60 wooded acres up to the top of the ridge where the lodge sits.

Caribou Ridge Lodge has over 235 five star reviews with over 10 years of history as a vacation rental. Many guests have came every year since their first visit.

This custom designed cedar log construction lodge features an endless array of custom design elements and unique furnishings. The Lodge can comfortably sleep 28 people, making it perfect for large groups, weddings, reunions, or family gatherings.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire lodge as well as the entire 60 acre property. The large driveway can accommodate a large number of vehicles with plenty of room to maneuver trailers etc. It is common to see bald eagles and hawks soaring along the ridgeline directly in front of the properties.

Many guests snowtube, sled, or even snowboard down the long driveway during the winter. Sleds are typically available for guests to use.

Guests can reach the Au Sable River and the Mio Dam area in 3-4 minutes by car to enjoy all kinds of water activities including swimming, boating, kayaking, canoeing, river tubing, fishing, etc. Several businesses offer canoe, kayak, or tube rentals just a few minutes from the driveway.
