10/10 Excellent
"Great Lodge and very nicely priced. Staff was friendly and premises were clean. Rooms were modestly sized, very clean and well taken care of. Beds were very comfortable, as was the rest of the room. In my opinion, much better priced and comfortable than many of the hotels on the Mackinac City side. Will stay again."

The staff was super friendly and helpful and amenities were basic but you definitely had what you needed. Central location to activities, food and shopping. Would definitely stay here again!"

The decor in general is lovely, colorful and inviting. My husband used the hot tub and it was very relaxing. Our meals in the restaurant were high quality. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner. This would definitely be where we would return to stay again."
