This is a great spot as a launching point to all sorts of outdoor pursuits. As pet friendly as any establishment I have stayed, the owners dogs were friendly and other people staying had pets as well. I stayed in one of the motel rooms, it was small, but has the amenities to make your stay very comfortable. Thank you Two Rivers, for a wonderful stay!

Just want to say I was introduced to Two Rivers Motel & Cabins by my buddy and I'm glad I was. What a great central location for sledding in the Yoop. The Cabins served their purpose and were comfortable. I always stayed in the South Range area, which is a great location as well. But you have great opportunities in every direction from here. I met Tim but not Jen, yet. Tim was a pleasure to talk with and I can tell he is a hard worker and heard he donates his time to make the trails smooth for us flat landers. Rumor has it that he likes to sleep late though, LOL. Unconfirmed, of course. Looking forward to my next stay. See you in 3 weeks. Tim, if your wondering, I was the one stuck with Doug from 2/16 to 2/19.

Great experience staying here at Two Rivers. Owners were super friendly and helpful. Really likes the esthetic of the room, very clean and cozy. Right on the trail, near good food (Hoppys) and great pricing. Will be back!

I've stayed in all the available cabins multiple times over the last couple years and havr no complaints. Tim and Jenn the hosts are great people and treat you like family, and they are avid snowmobilers themselves, so they get it when it comes to a snowmobiler's needs. Right on the trail, and access couldn't be any easier. Give them a chance if your looking for a wonderful UP experience.

Stayed there this past summer in late July... This is the type of place where traditions are made. And you come back there year after year. The owners are the best, the rooms have a ton of character, the location is prime. The trout fishing around there is second to none.

Great place to stay in the UP, especially if you're looking to take advantage of the trail system that is literally 100ft. from the lot. The owners, Tim and Jen are very accommodating and friendly. We always have a great stay! Thanks again for having us!

Jen and Tim went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We stayed in the Rock and Minerals room and it was so cozy. It’s nice to be able to drive the snowmobiles right up to the door. It’s directly on the trail, so there is easy access. Tim is extremely knowledgeable about the trail conditions which made planning our rides easier. The whole experience from walking up to the room and chatting with Tim to easy text responses from both made our stay feel comfortable and secure. We will come back often!
