I attended a wedding here this weekend. Ubly is somewhere that despite growing up within an hour of…read moreit, I had no idea it was even there. That being said, it is a gorgeous place. Pulling up to the banquet center, you get all of the best views of the small town. The wind farm is perfectly within view and towers over the course. I hadn't ever seen more than one wind turbine in a place so my mouth was wide open looking at this. There had to have been 30 of them and with the way the scenery was in Ubly, it felt like I was transported into some kind of a Norman Rockwell painting. The banquet center does not look like much at all from the outside. Structurally it's pretty standard compared to other reception areas I've been to. There is a covered drop-off pick-up area for the guests, separate entrance areas for the vendors, there is a large waiting area/room for earliest guests to spend their time in, and then there is the banquet area. The banquet area is where the location really closed the deal with me. Their reception area was transformed into such a lush, faitrytale like atmosphere that it took me off guard a bit. It was perfect for a wedding. Everything was covered in tulle and low lights and it gave the entire area more of a glow versus any harsh lighting. The wedding colors were draped in cloths, covered in tulle, and wrapped in ribbons everywhere you could imagine. Being realistic, I am not sure whether this is the work of this esablishment, the wedding party, or a paid decorator.But I will say that this location threw a reception that easily rivals some of the best places I have been to. And I would highly suggest checking them out if you are considering an event near the area.

The Head Pro Dave is the type of guy that will take his time to help you, give you pointers on how to play the course and treat you like a friend.

Great prices with great links style golf and great people who make it worth the drive.

When we walked in, it appeared that everyone was doing the same thing on a Thursday afternoon. We got there and ordered drinks, every fried food they had on the menu, and a pizza. The pizza and drinks came out in a timely manner, but the mini tacos, jalapeno poppers, chili cheese fries, etc, all came out after we were done bowling. This is because they only have 1 fryer. Tip - order the pizza, it was pretty dang good for a bowling alley.

James was truly a blast to hang around, he's very welcoming and polite, as well as easy to talk too. The whole bar staff is amazing they were truly all so nice, I can't wait to make the swim up bar a part of my regular get away!

There are multiple pools, including an adults-only pool for those looking to relax, a fun indoor waterpark, an arcade packed with games, a sweets shop, several restaurants, and even a ferry ride nearby. There's so much to do that it's easy to spend an entire weekend without running out of activities. Whether you're looking for a family getaway or just a relaxing weekend, the Bavarian Inn Lodge offers something for everyone. We had a great time. They also have an area that you can walk to and watch the Peacocks. As far as the rooms, they are okay. The restroom is tight, with the toilets sitting inches from the shower. Rooms are spacious but smelled a little musky. Luckily, we were able to open up the window. Once we did that it smelled a little better. I think it may be from folks walking around wet and dripping on the carpet.

Bird Creek really stood out on its own as having a unique classy, farmhouse style to it that just really set the mood for a good time & I was pretty obsessed with the luscious vines of hops gently swaying with the breeze! The waitstaff here is completely amazing, especially during COVID. The patio seating everywhere was so wonderful, and there was also tons of bar space as well. It's open, it's airy, and you can walk the grounds and check out their greenhouses while you wait, if you need to wait. A true farm to table! The food was absolutely spectacular as well! We got the charcuterie board, which we thoroughly enjoyed, before the bees descended and also thoroughly enjoyed haha. But the waitstaff said that normally the bees were not this "friendly," and that they were only really all up in our businesses because it had rained the day before. But our waiter quickly cleared the board away from us and redirected the bees away from the patio, which is just another testament to how wonderful the waitstaff is! Definitely try the miso portobello burger too! I'm not even vegetarian/vegan and it was honestly SO DELICIOUS! I'm still thinking about it days later! If I ever find myself in the thumb of Michigan again, I will DEFINITELY be stopping by here again!

On our trip to Michigan we came here twice and really enjoyed the outdoor atmosphere with family. 10ish beers on draft constantly rotating and an excellent menu. Burger is amazing!!!! Toasty bun, if you get one, two smashed beef patties, house made pickles, and all the other works. My mouth is watering thinking about it :) Fries are incredible, gluten free if you need to know, walleye Is so flakey, quinoa salad not pictured but also excellent, and lastly that charcuterie!! A selection of amazing meat and cheese, pickles, olives, fresh honey comb, nuts...oh my amazing! Menus are disposable, sanitizer is available, light enforcement on the masks but all in all, we felt safe. Can't wait to come back again next year on vacation.
