Pine Ridge Lodge Bed & Breakfast

"A grand log lodge with rustic charm and first class amenities."

Pine Ridge, originally established as Pine Haven Lodge, was built in 1948 and operated for years as a historic hunting and fishing lodge. It's creator solely built the enormous log structure, as well as much of it's furniture and fixtures, and most of his work remains in tact today! The current proprietors, Doug and Suzan Stiles, while modernizing the facilities, have worked to maintain the simple comforts that were so indicative of the old north woods camps. Pine Ridge is still a "kick your feet up on the furniture," "warm yourself by the fieldstone fireplace," and "wake to the aroma of coffee and biscuits" kind of establishment! Casual, cozy, comfortable, and ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

FAMILY, CORPORATE & ORGANIZED EVENTS

LEARN FROM EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS
Our instructional staff is headed by Federation of Fly Fishers Casting Instructors Board of Governors member John Van Dalen. The manager of Little Forks Outfitters, John has been introducing anglers to the sport of fly fishing for over thirty-five years. John will be joined by well-known author and expert angler Bob Linsenman and other experienced fly casting instructors. Groups are limited so everyone gets personal attention from the instructional staff. Emphasis is on learning in a relaxed and fun setting.

TEST YOUR SKILLS ON THE AUSABLE
Our schools are conducted in the Mio & Lewiston, Michigan areas, right in the heart of the AuSable river country. Some of the best trout fishing in the mid-west can be had here, and we will be spending some instruction time on the fabled AuSable, as well as private stocked trout ponds. You will gain experience in actual fishing conditions, as well as intensive personal casting instruction. You will enjoy the thrill and satisfaction of learning the art of fly angling, with easy access to all three branches of the AuSable.
