Constructed in 1988, the Rifle River Lodge was purchased and totally renovated in 2024 for the purpose of becoming a premiere vacation rental property for outdoor enthusiasts seeking experiences and adventures associated with the Northern Michigan region. The lodge location offers a balance between forest and casual services available in the quaint town of nearby Rose City.
Located on 20 acres of rural Michigan the lodge is within reasonable proximity to numerous attractions and activities for all who seek outdoor recreation. The lodge offers premium amenities and the comforts of a contemporary rustic home. It is our hope that your stay is eventful and memorable.
Thank you for visiting our lodge.

The Region
Crystal clear lakes, hundreds of miles of sparkling rivers, streams, and trails amid dense pine, beech, sugar-maple, aspen, northern oak, and hickory hardwoods saturate this region. From the lodge, forty miles of wild country to the west is Grayling, and forty miles to east is Lake Huron. And the famed Au Sable River flows 138 miles through it all. When night falls and Michigan’s breathtaking views fade into the darkness, the skyscape opens to one of the greatest star shows in the country. This region echoes the words, “Pure Michigan”.
