Mike, We really enjoyed our time at Muskallonge Lake. Even though we were camping at the state park you made us feel at home and vary comfortable at Deer Park. Your store has to be one of the best UP Stores I have ever been in. Very clean, well organized, and you stock the right supplies. Even my wifes favoite pickles. Thanks agian for make our vacation pleasant and very memorable.

Hi Mike & Monica,
Bobbie & I had a great time up there this year, and I did find a some good ones this year. We didn't have a lot of time to take this year as in the past. But we did get to talk to you guys a time or two. Karren will have my best agate on her website in June. We want you to know that we think your website is great.
Thank You
Terry & Bobbie

We SO remember the hospitality from our impromptu visit last October, so we're comin' back! It'll be late next week or early the following week. As per our phone conversation earlier this evening, we just meander and lollygag on these yooper excursions der eh? You becha, by golly! Now we'll hope for a wicked nor'easter just BEFORE we arrive, to refresh the agates ;-) We'll try to remember to bring something special up there from here in the Cadillac area.

Hi Mike & Monica. Its been a few years since we been up there but great site. We now have an addition we hope to bring up there this summer or fall. Keep warm.

Love your site! It's nice to see what is happening in the area year round.
What does the Lake Superior shoreline look like at this time? Is there still ice or can you get to the water? We'd like to come rock hounding Memorial Day weekend, but if it's still iced over, no sense making the trip!

Mike and Monica,
I am passing on your number to Larry W., he can't find it.
We will never forget your place and the grand times we've shared. The class reunion in particular!
FYI our last reunion pics are on a website Mike C. set up, let me know if you haven't got the information and I'll make sure I get it to you.
Best of luck with the new season, I hope it is a winner after last season.

Hey Mike & Monica,
Just thought we would say hi, we always come up the first week of Aug stay at the State Park. I have been watching the updates on your site. We really love coming into the store. You have not said anything about the lake levels. can you give a update on both please.
Posted by:Scott & Jen Rollenhagen | April 25, 2008 at 07:40 PM
Wow is all I can say! Deer Park Lodge and Mike and Monica Brown are the best. I started coming up in 1995, again in 1997 and then in August 2001. While it has been almost seven years since I have been there I know I can walk in the door tomorrow and Mike and Monica will remember me from years past. I look forward to seeing them sometime this summer!

Hi, Mike and Monica,
I stumbled upon your website and am pleased to get an update on the snow. Planning to fish first weekend in May. Will the roads be snow free?
Posted by:Joel M | April 15, 2008 at 09:35 PM
I first visited Deer Park Lodge in 1957. Stayed at Mike Crawmers cabins, 1/2 way to cpgd. Bought bait at your facility. In 57 we were still riding the ferry across the Straits. The road from Newberry was a two track, sand. No power, Mike ran a generator 1 hour each night. The country was really primitive, just the way we liked it. Kept coming back every year through the early 70's. Want to come visit but am afraid the present will not live up to the past. Really enjoy reading your posts of whats going on.

We're finally getting our act together for July. Lost the list of available dates for a cabin that'll accomodate a couple... one bed or two-doesn't matter. We're hoping you still have something for the week of July 26-August 2. We can accomodate a variation on the dates within that time frame... the kids can stay with us for a day or two on either end if necessary. Let us know by return email? Thanks! (We're back in Green Bay for the week.)

Wow - I thought we had a lot of snow when we visited in early December. Sounds like the real deal this time.
Glad you made it through without any significant damage, and you're all safe and warm.
Enjoy the snow!
Cheers,

Hi M&M,

We're psyched. It's been too long. Looking forward to hanging in cabin #6 and being in the Deer Park Lodge zone. See you guys in a few days.

Hey Mike and Monica,
This is Chase Gildersleeve, you prolly remember us from way back when..Rod, Paula, Jess & Chase?? Yeaa, i was lookin at pictures this last weekend when i was home from College and saw some oldies of all of us up there havin a blast snowmobiling. I thought i'd get online and see if I could find Deer Park Lodge and sure enough here it is! Oh man, we might have been young but I still remember all the great times we had. Especially trying to out run Mike on the Kitty-Kat and he'd shovel snow off the roof onto us as we'd drive around the store. Good times. Well I just wanted to stop by and say hey and see how everything was. Hope we can get sometime to make a trip to the UP this year and snowmobile, its been way to long. Talk to ya guys later.
-Chase Gildersleeve

Hi Mike and Monica! Been thinking about you up there! I wanted to drop you a line and let you know that Andy got himself a spike deer!! He is sooo happy! My sister downed a 11 point and our niece got a 10 point. (GO GIRLS)The guys are waiting for the snow as usual. Have a save and healthy winter, I'll see you in the late spring. Dave will see you yet this winter.

I am so sorry that we are not going to make it up there this weekend as planned. My son had enjoyed his visit over Labor Day weekend and had strongly recommended your facility.
I will look forward to another time when we can visit.
Thank you.
