"We loved staying at the lodge — it was so cozy, yet still had plenty of space and felt like another home! Would definitely stay again. Gerard and Jan were incredibly communicative and helpful for anything that we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a cozy getaway in Northern MI. Peter and Maddie " and
"This was easily a 5-star stay. My wife wanted a rustic weekend getaway as a birthday celebration and wanted a place that could easily accommodate our family of four plus our two God-children (all 4 kids range from 13 to 16). This place was the right choice! Gerard and Jan exceeded our hopes and expectations! The home was very neat and clean, with kitchens and bathrooms very well stocked. There was plenty to do for our teenagers (board games, basketball, firepit, and their beautiful gardens). To make it even better, they have a vegetable garden open to guests!!! They thought of everything in preparing this place. We made the right choice and were privileged to tell them while we were there, and enjoyed meeting them. They deserve the Super host rating. We have already started planning our return to the property. Thanks again Jan and Gerard! Terrence Quinn. Other things to note:

Summary: Just returned home from a weekend ski trip for my son's birthday at Crystal Mountain. We really enjoyed our stay at the Newmoon Lodge and would highly recommend it for those that want to enjoy the true meaning of an "Up North" getaway. The lodge was very clean, location was perfect and the history behind the Newmoon was incredible and captured our attention and interest. Gerard and Jan are great hosts and meeting Cindy was a special treat for us. Looking forward to future stays at the Newmoon, regardless of the season!

Summary: There was not a single bad thing about our stay at New Moon. From the enchanting history of the place, to the magical gardens and surrounding forest, the impeccable views, and lovely wildlife. A 16 minute drive from the beautiful Arcadia Beach, with a well stocked grocery just down the corner. We were never bothered by the inhabitants of the other buildings on site, and we were delighted to meet Jan on our last morning while she was harvesting in the shared garden who shared with us even more stories and love for this place. In my opinion, there is no other place to stay Up North. This is the pinnacle of excellence and magic. We will be returning multiple times a year, happily. Thank you so much Jan & Gerard for sharing this place with the world.
