I loved the quiet atmosphere. It was a little further from the restaurants and attractions than I wanted but it was still a great stay.

The staff I spoke to wasn’t the nicest, and the weren’t sticking to their pool times and quiet hours. But other than that it was a nice location and I’d stay there again.

The room was very clean and quiet. It was a good value for the money. It was odd that you checked in at the camping ground down the road but it was quick and efficient. My only suggestion would be to have a small fridge in each room. Husband is diabetic and we needed to keep his medication refrigerated. I would recommend this hotel.

Worked well for vacationing with another couple in the Mill Creek campground, although cabins might have been better. Bike trail connection requires crossing street, but trail system is awesome.

This property was wonderful! It was clean and comfortable. Also, the campground that owns this property has a wonderful beach and amenities. The only problem I had was we did not receive fresh towels and wash clothes during the course of our 4 night stay. Also, I would give this property an excellent review if it had a mini fridge and microwave in the room. Unfortunately it did not. Other than that, this property is wonderful and I highly recommend it.

Up north retreat
We arrived to a very clean room with rustic log furniture. Very up north feeling. The amenities were few but the stay was great. The coffee station was great addition, and the coffee was good. The only negative was the bed. It was hard. Also the shower needs to have grab bars installed. All in all we would stay again.

Room was nice and clean. Bed was comfortable. The AC cooled the room well. However it was EXTREMELY noisy. And it wasn’t from normal operations. It rattled and clunk on startup and shut down. That was our only issue. The rest of our stay was excellent.

Great spot for a getaway!
This hotel was a great value for a summer getaway. The rooms are just big enough for a couple, perfect to come back to after a day in Mackinaw. Definitely couldn’t get a whole family in the room we had though. There’s a nice pool but it closed too early for us to get to use. The path down to the lake opens up to a fire/picnic area with a great view of the bridge. We were able to ride our bikes into town in about 15 minutes going at an easy pace; half of the ride was on the road, the other half on the trail that runs parallel to the road. Our room was clean and the rustic wood furnishings were nice. Parking is a little tight, especially when people don’t park in the lines. I would certainly stay here again!

The room was clean but small. Finding how to register was cumbersome. I would not recommend it for the elderly. The lake was nearby but you couldn't see it from the room. You had a short walk through a wooded area to get to the lake.

We loved the property!! The room was very clean and cozy!!! The only issue we had was the bed. The mattress wasn’t very comfortable, it could’ve been a a little softer. But outside that I would definitely recommend.
