Pretty good place to stay while you're in Bad Axe the county seat of Huron Michigan. The place is…read moremedium priced but the amenities are great. You get a board room for free of charge, indoor swimming pool and a hot tub and large exercise room with excellent weight resistance machine with lot of accessories! The cleaning crew in the morning expect you to be up by 6 A.M. and will knock your door and open even if you are sleeping butt naked. You have to let them know in advance whether you want your rooms cleaned daily or every other day. I was naive and said just the towel service and found out that they don't clean anything. The grossest part is that the rim of bathroom washbasin has black stuff growing all around it. I spent twenty minutes cleaning that up with hot water using the free plastic cup. I nearly passed out how much scums it had. Overall it was quiet and lovely. The free breakfast was delicious! But nothing like the European hotels breakfast.

Simple, clean, everything worked, and the view was fantastic. We talked with all the other guest who seemed to be great people and were also enjoying the accommodations. The beach campfires were great (some nights there were up to 3 different fires going) and we enjoyed talking with everyone. I plan to return soon. I hope Paul will give me a deal in the fall......

Attentive, very friendly & superb attention to detail. The property owner, Don is so nice & humble. He has established such a beautiful place to relax.

Super comfortable king size beds, retractable tv's, and large soaking tubs was exactly what I wanted & needed. I honestly wanted to make sure that I mentioned everything that made this a great experience. Since so much thought & consideration is taken into making a great stay. I believe places like this should continue to thrive. Thank you again Don & Miranda! Next time, I will definitely try the outdoor hot tub.

Breakfast at the Himelhoch is fresh, plentiful and prepared to order, coffee is hot, and the wrap around porch the perfect setting. The proprietor is also generous with the amenities, offering a hot tub, bonfire, and a fully stocked game room that's always open. Our room was clean, comfortable and cute, bathroom was spacious. I would definitely stay at Himelhoch again!

Pros: It's a darling little 50's style motel, cheap, immaculately clean, quiet, NO SMOKE SMELL IN ROOM, very nice manager, great little heater, I paid $40 cash for the night.

Very easy to book online and be sure to get a rewards sign up. We did a package that included pizza and pop, a chicken dinner at Zehnders, and a breakfast buffet for both mornings. The hotel is easy to spot next to Bronner's. The theme of gnomes and fairies is so adorable. Staff are awesome! They were so sweet to my daughter and us. Whether it was our waitress, lifeguards at the waterpark, or the front desk. We were able to check in early, so be sure to ask! Our room was one of the older rooms and was one of the ADA compliant rooms, which has larger doorways, no bathtub, a queen bed, and a seating area with a fireplace. The room decorations and everything in it are original. It's very desperately needs to get a facelift. The room was right off of the front desk in waterpark, so walking to the action only took a few steps. I noticed there is no recycling bin. There was a mini refrigerator, but the temperature control wasn't the greatest. Carpet was buckling. The seating area did have a pullout couch, but the couch itself was slippery with the fabric and pretty uncomfortable. Not sure how well house keeping was. There was a Nerf gun instructions paperwork behind one of our bedside nightstands. The water pressure was awesome. The bedding felt clean and the bed overall was comfortable. Housekeeping was able to give us a few more towels off their cleaning cart, which was nice. There is an arcade, but it's definitely not as big as the other hotel down the street. It's very crammed into one room. The pizza and cheese bread was absolutely delicious. Was not expecting that for a kid themed hotel. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, but the buffet items don't change. So the second day we were already kind of sick of the options. They do a nightly movie night in the lobby at 8 PM. If our daughter was older, we definitely would've snuggled up in the lobby to watch the movie. The waterpark was our favorite. Our daughter is just over two, and I was so surprised at how many things she was able to do. She even got to go on a waterslide with us, holding her to go down. Also, she was able to go down a waterslide all by herself, so she thought she was super cool! At the hotel down the street, there's barely anything for a two-year-old to do at their waterpark. She absolutely loved being able to wade in the water with the toddler pool going up to 2 feet. She also was brave enough to go under the big bucket that splashes. We stayed two nights and I think we went to the waterpark at least four or five times and she never got sick of it. There is a security checkpoint for the waterpark. Security will put UV light on your wristband to make sure it's not a fake also go through any bags that you're bringing into the waterpark. Do not bring towel towels, the waterpark provides towels for you. Additionally, they provide lifejackets. There are plenty of tables and chairs all along both water parks, the old side and the new side. The new side wasn't as toddler friendly. There was a small slide she could go down, otherwise there really wasn't much else for her to do. We had a great stay and I think with them updating all of the hotel rooms, I think Zehnder's is the place to be!

This truly breaks my heart to write because we have loved this facility for so many years…read more We have been bringing our children here annually (sometimes multiple times a year) since 2013. But recently in the last few years, we have noticed a shift (some things they may not directly have control over). But this past weekend was bad and we felt it was time to update our review to reflect what is happening now. From the second you walk into their lobby, throughout the hallways, seeping into the rooms, and even penetrating the waterpark areas, all you can smell is that legalized recreational product (I'm sure you can guess what I'm talking about). It's disgusting, lingering scent persisting everywhere. It clings onto your clothing, suitcase, EVERYTHING. And if you get a room that was previously occupied by guests who partake in that, it reeks of it for your whole stay! Adding to this, you can continuously find bandaids, hair and hair extensions floating in the water and lying around on the ground. Many children/teens are running wild (being very disrespectful) with no adult in sight. This place has lost its charm for us and it truly is sad. This was a vacation we looked forward to annually with our children and have created so many beautiful memories but sadly, it no longer does and then to add the price continuously increasing (which we knew would happen). If the smell of recreational products, filthy areas, and disrespectful guests is your vibe, then this is the place for you. What once used to be our favorite has sadly shifted over the last few years.

I must mention this, because it is important: they do not use Canola Oil for frying, as *most* restaurants do these days because it's cheaper than corn or soy. Eating anything fried in canola makes me violently sick after (3-4 hours of eating.) I wonder if IBS and other ailments of the like might possibly be what I experience? Fyi.

However once we opened the door we were pleasantly surprise, especially with the patio. Sitting outside you have a view of the lake as well as a nice water feature and an old boat that seemed great for the kids to play on. The other table had a few kids with them and they were able to run around and play and it was enough space that it more than fine as a diner without kids. The menu is pretty simple. A lot of seafood, which is not my thing, but they had a Michigan salad so that is what I ordered. Hubs got the perch sandwich. We got the onion ring tower to start. Food was all really good. They have a lot of fry options which is pretty cool. The star of the meal? The spicy Bloody Mary. No lie, it might be the best I have ever had. I make the best Bloody Mary. I obsessed over it and I tolerate most when I am out but this one was impressive. So much so that I told our server to tell the bartender how good it was. We were here for a late lunch.
