WINTER AT THE LOON HOLLOW

Fresh snow turns the U.P. into a different world.

The Loon Hollow is built to be more than a summer lake house. Winter brings trail riding, frozen-lake days, snowshoeing and the kind of quiet you only get after a heavy snowfall.

Winter stays center on the main house; the bunkhouse is closed November 1 through May 14. The main house remains a comfortable base for winter recreation and longer work assignments.
