Safety before speed
Trail-safety orientation, then machine orientation, then a test drive. Two-ups are back before dark, and no one rides alone.
About us
34 seasons of getting people onto the trail
Munising Snowmobile Rentals has been renting Ski-Doo sleds from the Cherrywood Lodge for more than three decades — long enough to know which trail is worth the detour and which one to skip after a warm spell.
Who we are
A rental counter, not a conveyor belt.
We are a small, local outfitter on M-28 just east of Munising. Three Ski-Doos, one counter, and a crew that has watched a lot of first-timers figure out a thumb throttle for the first time.
That is deliberate. We would rather spend twenty extra minutes with your group before you leave than have you find out about a closed trail or an empty tank five miles out. Guests notice — the reviews mention the orientations, the test drive, and the map drawn by hand more than they mention the sleds.
We also run the rental counter for riders who stay at the Cherrywood Lodge, which means your sled is on site when you wake up and the trail starts at the edge of the parking lot.
How we ride
What you can expect from us
Routes that work
We draw the day on a map: fuel, food, overlooks, and a realistic turnaround. If the weather is turning, we call before you arrive.
Sleds that are ready
Current-generation Ski-Doo machines, electric start, reverse, hand and thumb warmers. Checked between rentals, every time.
The crew
The names guests keep writing down
Steve, Bill, and Paul show up in review after review — greeting riders at the counter, walking through the sleds, and marking up the map. If you have spoken to us before, you probably spoke to one of them.
You will also meet whoever is checking machines in the lot that morning. Ask them about the snow. They will tell you the truth.
Paul was definitely alerting us to weather situation that may cancel our ride, he called two days before and kept us aware at all times, fast with return calls… the safety guy made sure we were aware of the rules gave us a good route to go.
Very nice NEW sleds overall great experience we have been going every year for 5 years now HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
