Meet Your Hosts

Hey all! Tim and Jen here!

We purchased Two Rivers Motel and Cabins in November 2020 - the first time we saw the property, we just fell in love with it! We are loving it up here and we can't wait to share this beautiful area with you!

We hail from Madison, WI, and COVID gave us the opportunity to find a way to live where we LOVE to play! We enjoy hunting, fishing, rock hunting, snowmobiling, ORVing, and pretty much anything you can do outside. 

Tim grew up in Madison, and Jen grew up in Green Bay, and received an engineering degree from Michigan Tech (and always wanted to return to the area!!)

We have 2 dogs of our own that are very friendly and LOVE to meet every human and furry friend that stays with us. They are VERY vocal, and will let us know as soon as you are around. They both LOVE winter (a very good thing!) and usually are joined at the hips while they are out running around. If you are uncomfortable with dogs, please let us know.

  • Miss Copper is a cross between an Australian Cattle Dog, a Norwegian Elkhound, and an Australian Shephard

  • Lumi (Finnish for "snow" = pronounced "Loomy") is a "tri-red" Australian Shephard

If you have pets that aren't friendly with other dogs, or if anyone in your party is uncomfortable with dogs (for any reason) please let us know and we will make sure to keep our dogs on leashes.

Miss Copper and Lumi

We are looking forward to being a part of your UP adventures!

A Bit of Two Rivers History

The Smith family built the Motel and Cabins from trees located on the property in the 1930's and 1940's. It's charm has remained the same since the day they were built.
