The staff is always accommodating and allows us to check in early year after year. The rooms are in excellent quality. They are very informative at the front desk about events, tours, shuttles, ferries. Always a pleasure to stay there.

A few issues

Lodge rooms need renovation. Bathroom smell of mildew/mold. The beds cratered &need replaced, but neither of us found them so poor we could not sleep. The room was large and clean, but overall a bit lacking. We enjoyed the location and the lodge feel.

Quiet and slept well. A little outdated, but overall clean and a nice place to sleep. Beach access across the street was dirty and not really somewhere we wanted to swim and relax. There was no microwave in the room which made it hard to reheat our leftovers. Overall a nice place and it was cheap. I would stay here again. Also loved that they allowed our dog. And other dogs on the property. We are a dog loving family.

For Mackinaw City, it was adequate accommodation. Water park was a big hit with the kids, and being able to walk to the ferry was a definite win. Check in folks were very pleasant and professional. There was a massive hole in the shared driveway than had broken metal sticking up 3 or 4 inches above the pavement which could have caused serious tire damage had the water level been high enough to cover it…which it was. We were lucky enough to have seen the ‘drain of death’ before the rain hit.

Cute property, appropriate for the price.

The rooms were cute and rustic. There were a few maintenance issues that I felt the cleaning crew should have noticed so I just dealt with since it was just me and my boys. The main room light didn't work. It kept flickering. The hot water in the tub didn't shut off. It kept running. (not dripping, running) the knob was stripped. So housekeeping should have noticed had they cleaned the shower. Otherwise, the room was what I expected for the price I paid. It was very comfortable and rustic.

The room looks like it is a camping cabin from 1970. Right down to the hanging light fixtures with cracked shades. Extremely old blue tub and shower with no grip on the bottom. The caulking around everything was molded and cracked. Mold on the bathroom ceiling, probably due to no bathroom fan. Every outlet was so loose, you can't plug anything in, the plugs fall out. The hair dryer has literally never been cleaned and had no air flow. I tried to clean it and the dust was rusted into the grate and won't come off, and smells like it's on fire. We had only 1 washcloth in our room when we arrived, and no one answered when we called so we had to walk across the parking lot in the rain to get some. Parking lot had a huge lake in the middle of it. You can hear EVERYTHING in your neighbor's room. And smell the pot they are smoking on their little porch... because you have to open the bathroom window to get any air to clear the moisture in the bathroom. One thing that was good was that the beds were comfortable and clean. Oh... and had a fridge but no microwave, so that was odd.
