SANDRA AND JER SOYKA

HEY MIKE,
MISS SANDRA AND I WANT TO THANK EACH OF YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL STAY----LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY MORE. THANKS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LOWER RIVER AND "THANK YOU" FOR THE FRESH SPAWN. I KNOW IT'S HARD TO COME BY. THAT WAS REAL SPECIAL TO ME. WE ENJOYED THE CABIN---VERY NICE---TALKED ABOUT COMING BACK, ALL THE WAY HOME. I'M WATCHING THE WEATHER AND IF YOU GET A WARM SPELL WE'LL COME BACK IN A HEART BEAT. MAYBE THIS TIME I'LL KEEP SOME FISH FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I DO WISH I HAD SEEN SOME GROUSE---I HAD MY SHOT GUN, BUT NEVER TOOK IT OUT OF THE CABIN.
THANK YOU AGAIN, JER AND MISS SANDRA

Hi Mike, My dad and I were lucky enough to find Deer Park Lodge for our trip "up north" 4 wheeling. What a fantastic place on earth. Thank you for your hospitality and helping us find the trails to ride. I have told my wife that we must bring the kids to this great place and share the beauty with them. Again, thanks for helping us to have a great trip. Craig

Deborah Miessner

Hi Mike and Monica, Debbie Miessner here. Hope you both are well and busy with the tail end of summer. We're still in Malaysia and wanted to pass on a recent conversation I had with a friend here. She's also from MI (Flint) so we were talking about the great state and as soon as I mentioned Newberry she said "Oh I spent 18 summers at a place north of there called... let me think..." and I said "was it Deer Park lodge?" It was! but it predates your owning it (are we that old?) The world shrunk that day. Anyway it got us thinking of you again. Sorry about your dog Abbott. It sounds like you gave him quite a life to live. Is that still the original Mocha? You two look great! Like your website. Take care, Deborah

Jill Cotter

Mike and Monica,
We didn't stay with you, but sure shopped with you and we enjoyed our stay very much for the convenience, friendliness and rock hunting coaching you provided. We stayed at Marie and Bills'. We did find some agates on our last day - we'll bring 'em by next time we come. ~Jill and kids (Kayla and Kyle) and Kris and kids (Kaitlynn and Miranda)

Hello Mike and Monica, nice website.

John Burton

Mike and Monica, Remember the pics that I set up last year of the dock and your dog, etc. Wondering if the offer still stands for me putting some photos in your store for sale. I'm coming up Sept. 10-25 staying at the State Park. Let me know, Thanks John Burton, West Branch

Rista

It was nice to stop and visit with you on our visit a few weeks back. Looking forward to the fall fishing trip (not necessarily fall, just the fishing). Hope the rest of your summer is great!

Gerald and Carolyn Branch

Hi Mike and Monica!

We just found your website and it is really great! I doubt you will remember us but we brought the kids for many years to the State Park and once they were "grown and gone", we stayed in cabin 10 with friends. We would love to come back this summer and wonder if you have any vacancies in late May or June. Preferably 2-3 days. Please let us know! But, please let us know whatever you have available.
So nice to read all the updates and to know that you are well!
Carolyn Branch

Len Curell

Wondering what cabins you have available second or third week of June. Preferably the large cabin.

Thanks

Dave & Maggie

Hey Mike, Monica, Abbott and Mocha,
Just thinking about you guys and wanted to say hello and happy new year. Your site looks great and I was reading about the success you had with the agate show. I hope we can make that this year so Maggie and Mary can show off their stuff. Well hope the new year finds you all healthy and prosperous and as usual thanks for the good time you always show us. Joe and I can't wait to hit the river again, that was just like being in heaven. See you soon, Dave and Maggie

The Buffalo Smith Family - 66 Highland Ave

Hi Monica and Mike,

Merry Christmas!!! Greetings from Buffalo on Christmas night. We are all sitting around after dinner talking about family we wanted to say hello and see how you are doing! We are trying to figure out where to go on summer vacation next July an thought of you! Your Lodge looks wonderful and we wanted to inquire whether the cabins were available beginning July 18th. We have 4 families plus Mom and Dad! Some questions.... how far a drive would it be from Buffalo? What is the closest airport? What kind of activities are there for children?

We wish you a happy holiday season and hope to see you soon!

We are planning a trip to U.P. in mid August 2009. One of us has to "work" on vacation and needs internet access. Does Deer Park Lodge have this available ? There would be four adults and we are thinking about your cabins 6 & 8. Thank you

Tom Bennett

Hello Mike and Monica! Hope you are well. I just wanted to say thanks for the Squaw Candy and the smoked fish! I'm holding on to the fish for the next time I get together with the gang down here. Still got some of the candy in reserve too. Good stuff!

Your October story about the campers and there loud habits reminded me of the time we pulled into our favorite fishing hole (which is probably the same spot you wrote about) and sitting there in the clearing was an Airstream trailer! That was some sight and sound pollution shock for me.

Cheers! tb

LORI SHETERON

It's very nice to see you still have the cabin with the stone bathroom wall. We stayed lodged here in the early 90's before the kids. Trying to plan return trip with the kids.

Mike Hallum

Mike & Monica:
Greetings from Tennessee. It's been about 5 years since we stayed in cabin 6/8. We are thinking about coming up in the next two years, how is the crowd after school starts, but before Labor Day? Are the blueberries gone by then?

How the heck are you? I just talked to my State Farm agent, Mark Riedy and he told me all about this great place and the owner he met. Small world. Your place looks outstanding. Hope to make it up next summer.
