Description:
A Place Unlike Any Other
Nestled among the forests and lakes of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Evergreen Lodge was founded with a vision as unique as the landscape itself: to bring the spirit of different countries together under one roof, offering guests a journey around the world without ever leaving Trout Lake.
When the Ha Thuc family discovered this historic property, they saw more than a lodge — they saw an opportunity to create a destination where travelers could experience the history, craftsmanship, colors, and artistic heritage of the world's great cultures. Guided by a deep respect for the property's natural surroundings and a lifelong passion for global hospitality, the family carefully restored Evergreen Lodge and gave it a new purpose.
Inspired by Hue, Vietnam — and the World Beyond
At the core of Evergreen Lodge is the warmth and hospitality of the Ha Thuc family, whose roots trace back to La Chu Village near the historic city of Hue in Central Vietnam. These enduring values — warmth, respect, and genuine care for every guest — are the foundation upon which the entire lodge is built. From that foundation, the lodge reaches outward. Each thoughtfully designed guest room celebrates a different country: the timeless elegance of France, the whitewashed charm of Greece, the imperial beauty of Vietnam, the tranquil simplicity of Japan, the vibrant warmth of Morocco, and more. Guests can return again and again, experiencing a different culture with every stay. Beyond the rooms, guests enjoy authentic Hue-inspired dining, an indoor heated pool, and the breathtaking outdoor recreation that makes the Upper Peninsula one of Michigan's most treasured destinations.
