    This is a top-notch hotel. My wife and I visited for a 3-night stay for our Babymoon. Located…read moreright on Lake Michigan, the views are amazing. Our check-in experience was flawless. We were immediately offerred assistance with our bags, which we utilized since my wife can't lift anything heavy. Our room was perfect and spacious, with a nice little balcony. The Kilwin's chocolates were a nice little welcome surprise. The weather was unseasonably warm, so we actually spent a few hours at the pool and laying in one of the cabanas on the lake. It was super relaxing and a pleasant surprise. We expected the pool to be closed for the season already. The rest of the grounds on the lake side of the hotel were amazing. From the perfectly manicured bent grass lawn to the outdoor patio, everything was beautiful. The morning breakfast buffet was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the omelet station which had lots of ingredients to choose from. One morning, we treated ourselves to a couple's massage at the spa. The staff was very accommodating for my wife. It was my first time ever getting a massage an it was super relaxing! The whole Bay Harbor development around the hotel is kind of odd, with a fake downtown and what looks like an attempt to create a walkable residential area, yet it was missing key sidewalks to get around. Go to the nearby towns and explore. The Inn at Bay Harbor isn't going to be the cheapest option in the area, but it's one of the best if you want full amenities and a more luxurious up north experience (not usually my cup of tea, but it was fun to once). It's great for a special occassion or an anniversary getaway.

    The view is absolutely gorgeous stayed here when it was a Marriott and it was great. I have had…read morethese reservations for 9 months and was given a murphy bed to sleep on.....no end table had to use a chair.

    We're at the beginning of our second stay here and I can't say enough about how much my entire…read morefamily and I love this place. These little cottages are perfect for a family stay for a week or five (I wish). It's a beautiful spot right in the middle of the Les Cheneaux Islands and you have a beautiful view of the water from inside your cottage and on the deck. There' a boat dock where you are free to keep your boat if you bring one, or you can just fish off the end like some of the little kids have been doing this week. They have a makeshift little beach area with about six plastic Adirondack chairs and I'm telling you, these kids staying here can't get enough of that sand. Right next to that area they have five kayaks ready to go- my cousins and I take full advantage of these every time we stay. Every cottage's deck has some of their own Adirondack chairs which we take from one to the other since we stay in two cottages right next to each other for the week. There's also a charcoal grill at each one which, again, we take full advantage of throughout the week. There's a fire pit off to the side of the cottages which I a great way to spend the evenings. Inside the cottages- fully stocked with dishes, towels, blankets, etc. There's free wifi and cable in each one. Plenty of outlets if you're worried about charging electronics or if you (like my mom) will be working at any point during your stay. The kitchen has a fridge, freezer, stove, oven, and microwave- so everything you could need to make any meal you desire. The owners of this place are incredible. Kirstin an Jason are two of nicest people we've met and they really care about everyone here and making sure you enjoy your stay. They live in a house right on the same property so they're almost always around. Both of them drop in periodically to make sure you're enjoying your time and that there's nothing you need from them. They own the North Coast Company in Hessel now which is an ice cream, fudge, and coffee shop inside the showroom of E.J. Mertaugh Boat Works. This was the first Chris Craft dealership in America, for those of you who enjoy boats. This part of Michigan is simply incredible. It's beautiful and quiet with plenty of outdoor activity going on. You're only a little bit away from Mackinac Island, the Soo Locks in Sault Ste Marie, and Tahquamenon Fall- all excellent day trips during your stay. I would highly recommend staying at Ford's Cottages to anyone. You jut can't go wrong here!

    Perfect location by the water and walkable downtown. Kirsten and Jason are the perfect hosts…read more Kayaks can be taken out for a relaxing time on the water or rent a comfortable pontoon. Been coming to Ford's since 2014. Cable and WiFi work great.

The beds were comfortable, one of them was brand new! The bathroom was small but there was excellent water pressure and good, hot water. Our cabin had all the basics including all kitchen ware, a coffee maker, hair dryer, TV/VCR/DVD player and alarm clocks. Outdoors, our yard included a screened in attached porch, fire pit (wood included), picnic table, chairs and a cafe table and a clothesline. The property sits on the edge of Lake Superior and has private beach access. The beach has beautiful Great Lakes sand and cool, clear water. The beach is lined with adirondack chairs and they have inner tubes for the kids. The owners work hard to maintain their property and therefore can be a bit persnitickity about their cabins and property. Don't be put off; this place is terrific and they are the reason why. Do bring your own marshmallow forks; it's the one thing we didn't find. And, do your grocery shopping before you get to Paradise; the grocery store is a whole different ball game!
