About

Today, Barothy Lodge is a twenty-first-century, year-round wilderness getaway. Much has changed and much has remained the same. More than a hundred years after the first guests drove the dirt roads or took the long train ride to the north woods, folks still come to Barothy Lodge to be in nature with friends and family, away from the distractions and stress of everyday life. Barothy no longer operates bed-and-breakfast style. Every lodge, from 1-bedroom Log Cabin to 9-bedroom Whitetail Lodge, has its own kitchen, fireplace, deck, and other amenities. Most lodges have a pool table, hot tub, washer and dryer. See Lodges page Barothy Lodge now encompasses 300 wilderness acres in the heart of the Manistee National Forest. The Wild and Scenic Pere Marquette River winds 7 river-miles from Barothy?s upriver boundary to its downriver boundary. Deep glacial sands feed the watershed with cool, clear water, creating a blue-ribbon fishery, a smooth flowing river for canoeists and other paddlers, and a haven for wildlife. Sited along the river, are fifteen private lodges with walking access to: swimming pool, fire pit, hiking and skiing trails, tennis courts, sand volleyball courts, canoe, kayak and tube rentals, children?s playground, fishing ponds, wetland preserves, shuffleboard, climbing wall, horseshoes, and a 1/2 court basketball pad. (See Map of Grounds) The lodges have no televisions or telephones. All have great views from their deck.
