Top Grayling Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Grayling

8/10 Good

"Good price. Easy check in. Friendly staff"

Come take a walk in our woods......

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was super clean and very peaceful. The only complaint I have is, there are photos of a hot tub advertised but there is no hot tub on site. My husband and I were specifically excited about that and were pretty disappointed to get there and see there wasn’t actually a hot tub like in the photos."

Newly remodeled 3 Bedroom Cabin on the beautiful upper AuSable River

10/10 Excellent

"The property on the Au Sable river in God's Country is absolutely beautiful. The cabin is lovely and spacious. Love the decor. Tastefully done, Andrea! :) The host is quick to respond. I had a wonderful time with my family, and our dogs enjoyed sniffing and running around on the grounds. I hope to bring my family back here again and make some more memories."

Secluded Riverfront Home in Grayling

8/10 Good

"Great location, peaceful, yet close to lots of local restaurants.Fish hatchery is practically next door and interesting. Hartwick Pines is a gem which we visited twice. Host is very timely with communication.He graciously allowed us to plug in or EV to convenient outside 110v outlet. A game changer for usInside was clean and neat.Had a few concerns and host was quick to reply.Outside patios are in need of cleaning and decluttering.I filled the hummingbird feeder and the show started immediately! Lots of hummers energizing for their upcoming migration.Lovely views from all around house, but 2 large windows in living room have miniblinds down that we couldn't raise, so view was mostly blocked.Lots of fast paddlers, single and double, training on the river were very entertaining."
