Hello Mike and Monica,

Just found out about the lodge being up for sale. Carrie and Jonathan and I sure will miss seeing the two af you on our annual two-week jaunt. You are a part of some of our families great vacation memories. Renting the boats and fishing as Jonathan grew up, and all you help finding LOTS of wood for our vacation. Hope all is well and the next phase of your lives is filled with happiness. You certainly bestowed a lot to others. Take care. Hope to see you in August.

You guys are so amazing. My family has had a couple seasons of wonderful times at Deer Park and we're looking forward to August, 2012. Hopefully you'll still be there because Deer Park is M&M!

Best wishes for your future.

Dear Mike and Monica it has been a few years since my Dad and I an my 2 sons have been to Deer Park. I really hate to see you guys go. Monica my son Steven was the one in the store yelling wow that's a low price because Mike told them that was your favorite commercial. The Marsh's wish you the best in your new venture.

We have never stayed at your place because we have a toy hauler but we always make it a point to come in and support your business a couple of times a year. You are always so friendly and your prices are very fair. Thanks for being there and giving me, my family and my friends a good old fashioned general store to come to. See you this weekend as we come up for the last trail ride of the season!

Greetings from northern Ontario,

We have deer hunted in the western U.P. for years, but Bruce Crossing is too far for us retirees to go to for now. Are you open for archery season for deer? Are you very busy during that season. Due to illness we will not be hunting this year, but are going to the U.P. for some more archery equipment and will be looking for a place to stay for two weeks next year. We will stop by perhaps on the 23 or 24 of this month. Will you be around? Of course my husband will have questions about deer hunting. I am originally from Detroit and my husband is from the boonie place of Oba, Ontario where we now live.

Hello, this is Ben from last week. My family and I had a great week and a lot of fun. The cabin was nice. Thanks for pointing out fun things to do and helping us out.

[Patti Baldwin]

Dear Mike and Monica and all the friendly folks at the Deer Park Lodge,

We are home, but we truly miss the tranquility and beauty of the UP.

Our week at Deer Park Lodge was everything I wanted it to be and more. Your wonderful location and kind hospitality was a huge part of it.

You have a perfect location and everything that we needed to have a great time. Our boys have never experienced anything like that before but really felt comfortable and ready to explore.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for a memorable, fun, enjoyable, relaxing and truly fantastic vacation to the UP.

We hope that the rest of your summer goes well for you both!!

Our best,
Patti, Scott, Ben, Nick, Jack and Wes Baldwin
