Top James Lake Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Manistee Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this property was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Can’t wait to come back in the summer!!!"

Spacious Resort Home on 10th Fairway - 6 Bedrooms, 3 Baths. GOLF, SKI, SPA

10/10 Excellent

"This Chalet Ski-N-Tee was the perfect place to host our 1st three generational Fall Family Get Together. It was the Host Michael who pointed out ALL the fun activities that Crystal Mt provided that would be ideal for our young grandsons and us adults to participate in. Everyone had a blast. The chalet was so spacious and with each level having their own full bathrooms made sharing the Chalet with Multiple Families that much more comfortable. It was great having a backyard area for 3 high energy level Boys to run around and play. We were so blessed with great weather and able to enjoy a campfire both nights with wood that was provided by our Superior Generous Hosts Micheal & Karen - they are Top Notch !!! Our (3) Families had a Great Fall Weekend and are looking forward to coming back next year and making this a Family Tradition."

Motel Bear Lake

10/10 Excellent

"We were in the area for a color tour. We booked here because we like the motel feel-parking outside the door, more personal feel. We checked in with a no contact check in, which worked without fail. The room was charming, and had everything we needed. There was making for s’mores if you wanted to build a fire, plenty of room to be outside enjoying the property. It was a great night."

SUMMER SPECIAL! Sleeps 20, 12 beds Outdoor Fun, Golf, Fish, Kayak, Private Lodge

8/10 Good

"There was ample room for parking ATV trailers. This is always a concern when traveling in a big group. We really liked the split units that opened up to a whole house. We were traveling with children and it was nice to have extra tv for them in second living room. 2 refrigerators was a bonus. Access to trails were close. We made great memories with family and friends."

Cabin on the Betsie River near Crystal Mountain with Excellent Fishing, Kayaking

8/10 Good

"This is our second stay at this property . We take our entire family on vacation so 12 people this year. Great property! The only problem I had was we didn’t know the AC didn’t work, it really only affected the first night, as the temps got cooler. I found a pill on the bed. We think it was a Motrin. If the toddler would have found it, it would have been bad. There was plenty of space for everyone ! We had a great time. Thank you."
