Beautiful lodge in a scenic setting. The suite was very nice, and we enjoyed the view from the balcony. Very comfortable bed. The breakfast was very good, and the breakfast room attendant was very friendly. The front desk staff were courteous and helpful. The lobby area and outside sitting area with the fire pit were very nice.

My husband and I stayed with our two young kids. We loved the tranquility of the property. Loved that there was a pool and little play place for the kids at the lodge. The rooms were spacious and cozy. Everything was comfortable and quiet. It’s perfect for a getaway and close to Indian river, petoskey. Harbor springs etc.

While the rooms are starting to need a little updating, it was clean, neat and comfortable. The property itself offered a lot to do with free kayaks, a fish pond, large yard and inside and outside fire pit. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was a nice sized pool and hot tub. Free breakfast in the morning. AND economical!
