Northwoods Resort is a great place to stay on the UP! It's a family owned business with a welcoming…read moreand knowledgeable staff. It's nestled on the shores of Lake Au Train, which is much warmer than Lake Superior but puts you close enough to explore all the best of the UP & Lake Superior cruises. Each cabin has a fire pit and grill, you can buy wood on site, and many of the cabins have been completely remodeled to include both charm and amenities (AC, tv with streaming options etc). The resort itself is small and would be a great place for a family reunion. There are plenty of boating options and the sand family that owns the resorts also owns a business up there road renting kayaks and canoes. There is a convenience store and pizza place within walking distance and the Pictured Rocks and downtown Munising are just a short drive away. We loved our visit and we'll definitely be back!

Wow! We rented a couple kayaks from Northwoods Resort to float the beautiful Au Train River from…read morebridge to bridge, as they call it. Reservations were by phone and I received a confirmation email with instructions on where to meet. The young man who checked us in was friendly and helpful. We walked the 1/3 mile up the road to the put-in, though the resort offers a free shuttle as well. The river is glorious: a 7-mile easy float through mostly uninhabited areas in the U.P., with clear water, towering pines, sand beaches, and wildlife. The ducks are very friendly and will approach looking for handouts. We enjoyed our 2+ hours on the river and will definitely be back.

The crust is very moist and tasty and the filling is also not dry and very tasty. It has the right balance of meat, potatoes, rutabagas, and carrots. Though not the biggest pasty out there, the portion is more than adequate to fill you up. I've tried pasties from all over and this rates #1 for me.

Everything about the UP seems expensive and this Holiday Inn Express is no different. I paid…read more275.00 per night for a Thursday and Friday night stay in late August for a non-balcony room. That's the only semi-negative thing I will say about this place, The hotel is nice, the workers were nicer, the rooms were clean and the halls were quiet. The continental breakfast was pretty solid too. Bananas (finally! after 9 days in Michigan hotels, I was beginning to think there was a law against them) mini omelets, bagels, muffins, cinnamon rolls, turkey sausage and a pancake machine. The real star of this hotel is the back patio view. Sitting on their deck enjoying the views of Lake Superior while having a cold beverage is pretty amazing. The rooms with lake views have their own balconies or you can be a cheap ass like me and share the patio with the others.

The hot water was good. Water pressure was fine. The room's heat was welcome on the cold evening. Past the lobby the Inn has a nice seating area for breakfast. We found it to be a good spot to sit and eat food from town. The morning breakfast was busy both mornings. The staff did a good job keeping the coffee full and the food stocked. It was a nice money saver to not need to go out for breakfast in the morning. We opted for the cheaper room facing the parking lot. If I stayed here again, I would spring for a bay-side (Lakeview) room. We had a beautiful and bright sunrise over the bay. The staff was friendly.

Felt a bit of voyeurism takes place as no blinds, mirrors placed weird and the view went right to a persons house. Drunk guests were creeping around and we had to call the cops. The just never responded or interacted except when we pulled up. Wrong Wi-Fi password written. Missing amenities, continuously stated dosent provide charcoal when it was listed. Need updating their instructions. Dirty dishes, garbage in our fire pit (fire pit and grill were not on property as stated. ) towels looked used, unclean. Tractors starting at 8am and junky boats cluttering property. Host was agressive and rude. She seems to be agressive with any criticism. Just accused us of false things, basically trashing the place which I've never done in my life. She accused someone of urinating in the bed! Most insulting interaction I've had. She is going to drive that business in the ground that already lacked professionalism. Mom and dad must be proud. Do not recommend. Never have I had this experience at an air bnb.

My friends and I just completed a six (originally five) day stay, beginning in the Hiawatha cabin,…read moreand moving to the Huron for the last night. The Hiawatha is a cozy two bedroom with the perfect access to the water and communal areas. The cabins are very clean, and well appointed, with microwaves, full-sized refrigerators, and a stove with oven. The Hiawatha is perfect for a landing spot from those long days of sightseeing. We decided to extend our stay by a day, and the gracious host, Sarah, was more than accommodating, offering to move us to another cabin for the final night, as ours was already booked. The Huron is a spacious three bedroom, with two queens and two twins, and a shower/bath combo. Newer construction, and everything the Hiawatha has, but more space for those larger groups. However, you don't come to Kimar to stay in your cabin, and the lakeshore views do not disappoint. Morning sunrises, and the activity of an active charter fishing operation provide the vibe that will calm the most anxious of souls. Sarah and Chris, the hosts, are third generation Kimar, and the added experiences they provides are what makes Kimar so special. They are very welcoming, and take the time to make sure everyone from young to old have a unique and memorable experience to take home with them. Do your research before you book, because the beaches here are for rock hounds, not sunbathers. The weather was cool, and my traveling companions had not thought about 55 degree nights when they packed clothing. My best experiences were found on the dock, in front of the campfire meeting new friends, and searching for beach treasures and Yooperlites. I hesitate to post any of this, because I want to keep this hidden gem all to myself. Thank you, Kimar family and friends, for making this one of the most memorable vacations ever!

The hotel was dog friendly, clean, comfortable, and well-kept. The free breakfast was better than expected and gave us a good start each morning. Our room faced South Bay of Lake Superior, which made for a beautiful view -- especially at sunset (though you'll need a little patience, since the sun doesn't set until after 10 PM in the summer!). The location was convenient with lots of great activities nearby, making it easy to explore the area without driving too far. Overall, this hotel added comfort and relaxation to an adventurous trip. Would definitely stay again when passing through!

The price was high for a room with a lake view but their season is not very long so I understand. The location is good just a mile into town and a short drive to the western sights of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Park. The room was decent nothing fancy except for the nice balcony looking out to the lake. Unfortunately the strong north wind and cold front limited our ability to sit outside except for a short bit. Welcome to Lake Superior at the very end of May! The breakfast room was super tiny for such a big place and on a Sunday morning it was cramped and hard to move around. Overall it worked for us.
