Property is nice & clean. Area was quiet. The pool & jacuzzi were working fine when I got there since I saw people actively using them & then for some reason, was placed out of order the next morning. No idea what happened there. There was a couple checking into their room the same time I was. I noticed I was asked way more questions about my stay than they were. I answered the same question 3 times about the number of people staying before I was given the paperwork & keys. The couple next to me had already gotten their keys & left. I felt a little interrogated. After driving 4 hrs I just wanted to get to my suite & rest. Fair warning to fellow people of color: This area of Michigan is not used to seeing anyone that does not look like them. People will be visibility awkward, uncomfortable & nervous around you if you are not of Caucasian decent. They do their best to hide it well but it was very evident. There was a caucasian couple checking into their room the same time I was. I noticed I was asked way more questions about my stay than they were. I answered the same question 3 times about the number of people staying before I was given the paperwork & key. The couple next to me had already gotten their keys & left. I felt a little interrogated. After driving 4 hrs I just wanted to get to my suite and rest. No one was outright mean, rude, nasty to me at all, but I did get a lot of stares everywhere I went around town. I will not stay here again, personally.

What an amazing Gem to find! The hotel's amenities are impressive, including a delicious complimentary breakfast with a wide variety of options, as well as complimentary bicycles and kayaks for guest use. The patio's fire pit and the clean, comfortable rooms further enhance the overall experience. I have already made a reservation to return next month.

The Lodge was so beautifully decorated. Staff was very nice and the complimentary breakfast was so good - lots of choices. Rooms were really clean and I liked how they always had water and tea on hand in the lobby. The grounds were really pretty and the fire pit outside was wonderful!! Overall our stay was really nice.

My wife came back from sitting on the wooden swing while reading and said she felt this was a little bit of heaven. So peaceful and offers many ammenities if you want to take part. Unfortunately we had to get back home for something, otherwise we would stayed an additional night. Great setting, great staff and a good breakfast. We will definately be going back.
