Unique accommodations with incredible views

So it took us an embarrassing amount of time to figure out where check in was. Hint, it’ll feel like you’re in the wrong place but you’re not. The staff at check in was helpful and efficient. I was taken aback at how beautiful the building and the views were. I imagine in its early days it was even more incredible. Vintage, high end ski lodge vibes. With the map we were provided at checkin we found our lodge/room relatively easily. I was disappointed our room didn’t have its own balcony, but it was rather a balcony for that floor/side. Some of the balconies had rotted wood, so that was a little unnerving. Our room was in the Blue Spruce Lodge, 2nd floor. The stairway and hallways were beautiful and unique- full of character and charm. We checked out the bar with live music in the evening. It was mostly middle age guys there on golf trips. Not exactly a happening nightlife scene but it made a beautiful spot to see the sunset across the hilly landscape. Our room was clean and comfortable. The lodge close to town. While it did have some quirks and could stand some updates, overall we really enjoyed our stay there. I prefer to stay somewhere with character, rather than a cookie cutter hotel.

This is a good property that, especially in the winter time, will provide plenty of entertainment for those who are skiers. However, the property looks run down, with chipped painting on the outside of it's lodges. The main building doesn't have convenient parking and isn't well marked as to what is the golf pro shop and what is the overnight lodging check-in. With some maintenance/upkeep - this can be a very good resort that will compete with Treetops and other northern Michigan facilities.

GORGEOUS LOCATION!!!

The location is absolutely gorgeous! The main lodge, bar and restaurant are stunning. Good (expensive) food and drinks. We stayed at the Blue Spruce Lodge. Although clean, VERY outdated. It had an 80's grandma vibe. Some of the other lodges looked updated from the outside, but ours was peeling paint all over the outside and had rotton wood. Bed and pillow were as old as the room, but ok. Would stay again, but in one of the other lodges for sure.

Needs some updating and maintenance

The room itself was clean and bed was comfortable. That’s where the positives stop. The exterior elements of this whole property leave a lot to be desired. Some paint, small repairs and landscape maintenance would go a long way. The rooms are dated and you can tell these buildings are old, but the outside could be mistaken for abandoned. Trim the trees, weed whack, put down new mulch, etc. the main lodge is maintained and lovely, while keeping the older charm of the building, do it with the lodging as well. Sidewalks are crumbling and the Logmark Bar has no central air. The bartender was trying to run a small window unit that was doing nothing for the heat in the building. We were the last guest left sitting after everyone else left. It was too hot in there!

Very difficult to find where you check in at. Large geographical area within a golf course and condos. Couldn’t find the signs where to check in. The rooms where in a building where anybody can go in and out of. That was concerning for security reasons. The bed was comfortable, but the bath area although clean, was very outdated. When I asked if I could stay 1 extra hour past the check out time, she confirmed nobody is checking into that room later, but wanted to charge me $40.00 for 1 extra hour.
