We started The Mustang Lodge with the mission to provide the best vacation rental experience for our guests, offering privacy in the beautiful Northwoods while being equine and pet friendly. Chris is a retired US Marine and Lacy is a local real estate agent. We saw this land and decided it was the dream property we had always wished for and look forward to sharing the outdoors experience with travelers. If you just want to get away from the stressful fast lane and explore our woods and never leave the property, you will enjoy adventuring and relaxing under the big sky and breathing in the fresh air. If you like to ATV, snowmobile, fish, hunt, ride horses, or take in what the UP has to offer, our location can meet your needs!
(Horse accommodations coming summer of 2024)
Our land consists of both open and wooded areas on 78 private acres bordering Ontonagon County land on two sides, and National Forest across the road. There are plenty of trails to explore on and off the property, private pond, secluded lake just off our land surrounded by Ontonagon County public land, and we are very close to ATV and snowmobiles trails (trail 3). Even though this land feels extremely remote, we are less than 2 miles off US Hwy 45! For the horses: We will have a round pen, a hitching post, and a water trough this summer. You are welcome to discuss any temporary fencing for your horses as well!
Ontonagon Valley Sportsmen's Club shooting range is just down the road at 13000 Himanka Hill Rd. You may visit their website at www.ovscup.com for more information about utilizing the range! $10 per person to become a member.
WE HAVE WIFI!! (In case you have to work, just a little:)
Our lodge is a cozy log home crafted by Frontier Builders in 2014 with new wood vinyl plank flooring. It is one open room with a sleeping area, living room space, dining space, and a full kitchen. There is a woodburning fireplace for those with wood burning experience, and an electric fireplace for those who would prefer to just push "on":) You will find a coffee/tea bar including a traditional coffee pot, a Keurig, and a French Press. No one should have to vacation without these necessities! RV electric and sewer available upon request depending on season.
We offer a comfortable king log bed, a full bed, and a full sofa sleeper. There is one full bathroom with a shower. (The loft will not be available to guests due to safety hazards) Outside you will find a firepit to enjoy the absolute beauty of this property. We do accept pets! Our dogs love running this land, and we want yours to as well! We will just have a nightly pet cleaning fee.
Tootsie was Lacy's first horse. She got her out of a cow field in central Wisconsin in 2002. Tootsie had a spunky spirit and taught Lacy what it truly was to own a Chestnut mare! Tootsie was half quarter horse and half Morgan. She lived until she was over 30 years of age and crossed the rainbow bridge in 2022. She was the start of Lacy's love for horses and would have enjoyed this land! We imagine her galloping across the rolling hills!
