The room was excellent, clean, comfortable with appealing decor. There was an outdoor area with the room with seating. We kept the sliding door open all night as there was a screen door. There is a path with steps that lead down to Lake Michigan. Ours was a quick overnight stop so we didn’t get down to the lake. We couldn’t see the lake from the room as the building is in the middle of a forest.

The rooms seem recently updated and are clean, good-sized with a beverage fridge and nice bathroom. My only complaints are minor - very small countertop space in bathroom, lights from the fridge were quite bright at night (solved with a piece of painters tape), and the bed sheets are very rough.

Loved it! I had a second floor bay-side view, it was so pretty, I loved my balcony. Apparently they just finished renovations before Memorial Day 2025 and it shows. I loved the new bathroom, too. There wasn't a closet, instead there was a rod with hangers near the dresser; the rod looked decorative so it visually worked with the rest of the decor, made me think of boutique hotels I've stayed in elsewhere. Plenty of room and counter space to set out your luggage and sundries. Microwave, mini-fridge, mini-Kuerig. Beds comfy and clean. On the first floor at the south end of the building there is a gorgeous deck, with an outdoor set of stairs that leads from the deck down the hill towards the casino. (I wasn't staying there for the casino but that was nice, I thought.) The only downsides were in the evening the parking lot was more full so harder to find parking then (although the casino down the hill has parking, too) and the lawn on the east side of the building was not fully grown in, so that was not as pretty to look at (which is really only a tiny detail when it comes down to it). The staff was so friendly and helpful, too. I would stay here again.

The price for a over night stay was not matching what you got for just a room. No breakfast, no where to eat dinner. The muffin that they offered was 3 dollars. We shouldn't have to help pay for the renovations of the logde. That felt like what we were paying for. The The yard on the patio was not ready for visitors. No chairs to sit out side. No mat to wipe your feet on as you walk back in the room.... they are still working on things. Just my opinion. The refrigerator was leaking water on the floor. They need to adjust the prices untill they are a 4 or 5 star.

Rooms are recently renovated and very updated. High quality towels and bathroom supplies. The woman at the front desk could use some customer service training. Very rude and incompetent. The gentleman working came and apologized and offered to help. Overall the place was good for the price and our stay was fine.
