This was a last minute booking for my friend and I on our roadtrip through MI. The rates were…read moreextremely ideal for the cabin since it was the weekend and hotel prices were hiked up so it was a no brainer to stay here. They were not luxury but they were clean. The beds and pillows were clean and comfortable. We would have booked a waterfront but there were harmless flying bugs EVERYWHERE (everywhere where there was water in MI not just the Beach House) and they weren't as bad at the front road cabins. Apparently, there are a couple weeks in the spring when these bugs migrate and fly and they only live for a day or less. They did not bother me in any way. The staff was amazing. I don't recall his name but he has worked there for years. He was so helpful with info on the shuttle and ferry to Mackinaw Island and he was kind. The owners better not lose him!

I don't know where to begin?! I was so impressed from the time I first spoke to Sara until the time…read morewe had to leave. I love nature but I don't like roughing it ;) I loved the chalet it was the perfect place to be at one with nature and have all the comforts of home!!! It's very secluded which I loved you feel like you are a million miles away from the crazy city but yet you are just a few minutes away from the grocery store and town for anything you might need. We also found an amazing place between Sara's house and the cottage where we got fresh brown eggs and homemade jelly yum we will definitely go back there next time. The chalet is overlooking a beautiful lake and is surrounded by the most majestic view. It also has a nice place for a camp fire and also a BBQ grill so you can cook there plus a fully stocked kitchen with stove, microwave, plates, glasses, utensils, etc. and a dishwasher so no washing stuff by hand. It was nice to be able to not have to go out to eat we had everything we could have needed and more!! My parents stopped by to visit and my mom fell in love with the beautiful decorations throughout the chalet it had that personal touch to everything. They could not believe how amazing it was there we all agreed it wasn't just a cabin it was a home and a beautiful one! We have tried a bunch of other places nearby but they were so dirty and musty and that's being polite!! You won't find that at the Detweiler Chalets it's more like staying at a friends house or cabin it's beyond words!!! My husband and I can't wait to go back we were so sad to leave it really is a piece of heaven! I'm kinda high maintenance as my hubby would say I'm a five star hotel and room service kind of girl but I was so relaxed and content that I didn't have a care in the world while we were there!! Thank you again for everything!! Hope to see you again real soon!!! One more thing for those of you campers who still like to occasionally have there TV & Wifi like I do, you will be happy to know there is a huge flat screen Tv with dish network and wireless internet so if it's raining outside you can curl up inside and watch a movie by the fireplace ;)

This is the best getaway. We stayed in the beginning of August 2017 (late post). So peaceful and…read moreserene. Mary and her husband were awesome!!! Everyday we had freshly baked treats that tasted amazing. The room was clean and and safe for our four year-old to play with his trains. It was conveniently located by a small park to swim and a winery. Very scenic, the water that surrounded the lodge was beautiful. We even made a book about our trip. Thank you for hosting us. Would definitely come back!

We love this place! It's not only an incredible value in what tends to be a rather spendy part of…read morethe state -- the lodging is impeccably clean and comfortable and cozy. It's also located in a scenic spot -- beautiful Omena Bay is right down the hill. The lodge itself is comprised of several historic buildings. When we stay here we prefer a room in the Wheeler House, the main house that's also the inkeepers' residence; the second floor is home to four very nicely appointed guest rooms, each with a private bath. The dining room and sitting rooms are on the first floor; guests can enjoy a crackling wood fire in the fireplace, play the piano or just sit and read in the front rooms. Another house on property also has guest rooms, we believe, while a third house is divided into suites. There's also a game/activity building with its own fireplace and kitchenette. The hosts are friendly and helpful, and are excellent cooks -- we love the breakfasts! They're also very knowledgeable about the area, and about the history of their establishment. We really enjoy them. Omena, between Suttons Bay and Northport, is in the northern section of the Leelanau Peninsula but still makes a good, convenient base camp for exploring the rest of the area. We would definitely recommend Sunset Lodge for couples as well as for groups. After driving down "motel row" in nearby Traverse City, we were even more convinced that mom-and-pop lodging is the way to go up here, and that we have found a real travelers' gem in Sunset Lodge.

The bunk beds are serviceable, the fridge works, and the windows have screens to keep the bugs out. There's no air conditioning, naturally, so it can get warm on hot summer nights. There's a fireplace to heat the cabin in winter. A fire pit in the back is ideal for nightly conversation and drinks. Overall, if you enjoy a cabin hostel experience it's an excellent low-cost option.

If you live in Michigan, and haven't stayed here during Christmas then you haven't been taking…read moreadvantage of probably one of the best vacations this state has to offer. This cozy hotel, nestled near Petosky and surrounded by many wineries, is the most fabulous boutique hotel. The outdoor trees are beautifully decorated and it makes you feel like you're in a hallmark movie. As we drove up, and parked we were met by an employee who knew our names and took our bags to our room. Felt like I was in Dubai getting VIP status service again. Our check-in was swift, and we were given a tour of the downstairs which had an amazing bar with a roaring fire, and free snacks and waters. It also had a small gym, and a game room containing a billiards table. Once we finally got to the room we were so shocked. The room was massive and absolutely breath taking. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the sheets were super soft. The highlight was the outdoor patio. We got a room on the first floor. The patio came enclosed with heaters so that you can go out and look out at the lake and not freeze. During Christmas they put a Christmas tree on each patio. Very romantic and festive. Service is, by far, the number one thing about this place. The hotels beauty is obvious, but it only goes so far if the service isn't there. We loved every minute of our stay. The bartender in the evening was the best. We sat there for hours and just chatted. He was very personable, and fun to talk to. We also wanted to use the jacuzzi, so the front desk employee went, and opened it up for us even though it was freezing outside. They also let us stay 20 minutes past the hours of operation without question. There were many more things we didn't do like snow shoeing on the lake, but they offer many things for kids, families, or outdoor enthusiasts. Overall, this was probably one of the best vacations we have had. From the service to Amenities they checked every box. If you are looking for romance, or even a family get away then this place is a must. We also took advantage of the wineries in the area. They are still open in the winter. I wish I would of snapped more photos for all to see, but I was wanted to live in the moment and not technology. This place has won many awards as a top wine hotel in the country. Just make sure you call way in advance for reservations. They book up extremely early. We booked a year in advance.
