The lodge, cabins and staff were amazing. My son and I went on a full day trout trip with the knowledgable Casey as our guide. The whole trip was amazing, I will definitely be booking a cabin and Casey as our guide next year!

This is the quintessential Fishing Lodge! If you’re looking for entertainment and luxurious accommodations - this is not it. This is the perfect place to experience the natural surroundings of the historic Pere Marquette River. Our cabin had a kitchenette, small bathroom - was rustic, clean, and had everything we needed for a few nights stay. We experienced amazing fishing adventures with Wesley, catching King Salmon up to 20lbs. Wesley is a local and he knows his stuff! This is definitely an experience for the discerning fisherman who wants an authentic experience! * Bonus - the Orvis outfitter on site is super well equipped and the front desk staff is knowledgeable, kind and very helpful! I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

The rooms are simple and no-frills. Definitely not a five-star hotel; but they were clean and perfectly fine for a fishing trip. When you’re in fishing mode, it’s more about the water than the accommodations anyway. The staff at the lodge next door were friendly and knowledgeable, and our guide was excellent. The river is less than 100 yards away. Highly recommend.

The staff at the Pere Marquette River Lodge are friendly and helpful! They took their time to make sure I had what I needed for my trip to the Sweetwater Guide School in Montana. I highly recommend doing business with them for all your fly fishing needs.

I've gone here many times to stock up on flies and gear. The guides are absolutely amazing. Very helpful as I've gotten into fly fishing. Every time I go in, I've got a whole stock of questions to ask them and they are always more than happy to answer every question and help with every issue I've run into so far. The only fly shop I go to when I'm in Baldwin.
