A Short Guide to Alpine Ski Equipment
Before renting or purchasing ski equipment, ask yourself a few questions: for how long will you ski? Will you ski only on a vacation or also near where you live? Determining your projected commitment level will help you decide whether to rent, lease or buy skis, boots, and poles.
Our Guest’s Reviews
Lance the owner is a super nice guy. The property is right on the river with great access by foot or boat. Clean, affordable, and ask about the corn dog feast!! Team Georgia stays here every year.
Lake and Stream Guide Service
I really lucked out when I found this little gem! Not only are the cabins clean, cute and cozy but they have AC and the beds are comfy. The owner is such a warm, inviting, sweet man! He’ll make you feel right at home. We’ll be coming back in the future!

It’s at Homestead dam, the SALMON are AWESOME to watch jumping up the dam on their journey to spawn, people come from all over to fish here, from other states and all over Michigan. If u get a chance you should definitely visit here, but when the SALMON are running.
