Tucked away in the woods of Gwinn, MI, the Up North Lodge is a cozy log cabin-style restaurant, bar, and event venue known for its “almost world-famous” smoked BBQ ribs and welcoming northern charm. With snowmobile access nearby, live music, and the heartiest meals around, it’s a favorite spot for tourists and locals alike. Our seasonal sleigh rides are also a hit during the wintertime, as you can catch a warm meal in the lodge and head out for a scenic sleigh ride through the woods of the Upper Peninsula. We also offer a spacious event center for the wedding, gathering, or business meeting of your dreams. Let the crew welcome you at the Up North Lodge in Gwinn, MI, today!
