Winter rafting with Jordan Valley Outfitters was an incredibly wonderful experience. It was by far…read moreone of the coolest experiences I've ever done! Reserving my party's spot online was easy. I received an email with all of the information and directions I needed beforehand. The bus ride to the river's start point was comfortable. On the way, we were briefed on what to expect and safety information. The winter rafting ride was magical. We were lucky enough to have just gotten a fresh snowfall. The views truly looked like a scene out of a movie. The Jordan River was a stable flow therefore little paddling was required. The snow's heaviness weighed some branches down over the river so some ducking was in order! Our guide, Sam, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable about the river, area, and provided great local recommendations! Partway on our journey, our guide led us off the river. Where we were treated to homemade cookies and hot drinks. Run don't walk to Jordan Valley Outfitters!

We knew the marina was clean, nice people there, well run and great services, not to mention beautiful and very well kept.

A few of our people couldn't make the trip back, meaning I had to make a rescue mission in our minivan and we were a few minutes late. Don and crew were so understanding.

For the sixth year in a row my family has rented skis from the Bahnhoff ski shop. Our experience…read moreis always excellent. The quality of equipment, the correct fitting and the wonderful service keeps bringing us back. This year we had a problem when on our second day of skiing. Our granddaughter hurt her arm late in the day to the extent that the ski patrol snowmobiled her down the hill and we ran her to Spectrum hospital. In the chaos of getting her down the hill and to the hospital we left some rental equipment at Nubs. Bahnhoffs only concern was with the health of my granddaughter, not with the rentals. They showed complete understanding and compassion for the situation. End result, we lost a helmet and set of poles. Their equipment was the least of Bahnhoff's concern. The manager said to not worry that they will work with Nubs in retrieving the equipment. What a great staff Bahnhoff Sports employs, I thank them all. Bill Van Cleve Ann Arbor MI

I figured I would be dealing with it Tuesday morning after the holiday weekend. While waiting for the wrecker, I googled auto repair for Kalkaska. I thought maybe I could get lucky and find a place open in the morning. I found Johnny's and it said 24/7 repair (I thought, yeah sure). I call and Jonny picks up. His words were if he can get the parts, he would get it done. Long story short, I had friends pick up my 5th wheel and wife and take them camping. I stayed behind with the hopes it would be complete as soon as possible. I made it to the campground with my truck back in order by midnight. Everybody at the campground were waiting for my call to come and get me because they all said there is no way it would be done before the END of the weekend. The price was more than fare, and Im only giving a 5 star because that is as good of a review as I can give. Thanks again, Jonny!!!

We felt misled and would strongly recommend getting a second opinion... My family brought in a boat we purchased from them, we were told the engine needed to be replaced (Less than 500 hours) essentially taking away any profit my family would've made on a sale. THANK GOD I work for a boat dealership myself. We got the compression test numbers and the engine was MORE THAN FINE. In fact I ran it ALL SUMMER AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS, with ZERO problems whatsoever. My service manager and team were appalled. They tried to take advantage of my family. I WOULDN'T TRUST THIS DEALERSHIP WITH ANYTHING. Tread carefully and get second opinions, just so sad to see people bend the truth to make a quick buck. Disgraceful really. We will never work with them again.

But I will be back if I need repairs in the future! A couple years ago I needed a part for my old 2002 motor and they were the most helpful in helping me track down what I needed since they did not have it in stock (nor did any other repair places in the area). Great job!
