This weekend, I went skiing at two awesome ski resorts with my dad, named Treetops and Otsego Ski…read moreresort. Otsego was even funner than Treetops. It had a café, five individual lifts, plenty of fun trails and a massive terrain park. The café at Otsego was a very nice one, and had a large fire which was great to come into on a cold day. Unfortunately I wasn't able to be there for too long, and therefore couldn't see too many things that they served, but one thing I know was that the hot chocolate is great and the candy bars are delicious. The trails at Otsego were also great, but had a bit of a higher skill level. They had a few easy blues and greens, like Für Elise and Alan's alley for begenners, but no bunny hill, a load of blacks like waterfall and master's, two steep duo trails that me and my dad very much liked and even a few fun double blacks like Bob's Glade, a exciting and adrenaline-giving slope that emptied out into a easy green. The terrain park was also super fun, with gigantic jumps that sent me very high up into the air but no rails, which was ok but not as cool as it could be. The only rail I could find was a few rotten blocks of wood that someone had thrown together and then left to the power of the forest.

Our room was comfortable enough but outdated as were the exterior and hallway finishings. We were attending a conference and every staff member we encounter was friendly and helpful. The camaraderie at the bar was fun and comfortable however the pool area was like something out of a scary movie. I wouldn't mind dining or attending a conference here again but will find other accommodations next time.

This was a Tuesday night in February, so we were able to get a very good price on a double queen suite. Room was clean, comfortable and no issues. We had planned to go skiing Tuesday evening but ended up at the pool with our kids. The main lodge has a decent size pool that starts indoors and continues outdoors. There is an indoor hot tub and an outdoor hot tub. Also there are two Saunas. The kids were enjoying themselves so much we didn't even get to go skiing! On Wednesday we got breakfast at the top of the hill. We have eaten here before and it's always been good. After breakfast we got our gear and headed to the slopes. Treetops isn't a huge hill, but for the value midweek and 3 lifts, it's was a great time. We got started right at 10am and skied until about 4pm before heading home. There was almost no traffic and it was non stop skiing. The kids loved it as well and really enjoyed the beginners terrain park they built.

A friend and I came in for the spa - it was a good "up north" style spa experience. Everyone was…read morevery friendly and welcoming, they have a nice lounge area and clean locker rooms, and you get access to the resort pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. The pool area was fairly clean with just a little bit of salt on the floor from people's shoes/boots. I had on flip flops, so it was ok. I enjoyed the hot tub, though it's highly chlorinated, and my favorite part was the steam room. That was very nice. They provide robes, flip flops and towels. We got scalp massages and Dazzle Dry manicures and both services were great. I especially enjoyed Emily who did my nails; she was skilled and quite pleasant to talk to. The wax dip is amazing and this Dazzle Dry polish is already lasting so much longer than regular polish. Love it. They also had really cute clothing in the lounge area - I was quite tempted by a couple of things. I would for sure return. It was such a lovely day after skiing.

We've had good years and bad weather wise but we have been treated very well by all the staff at all the courses. We don't visit The Marsh anymore the boys find it too tough. But who said we could play golf. We haven't found a better price deal anywhere and we go from Boyne to Ostego to Loon and Shanty Creek and Traverse City. We've never been disappointed at this resort and are not super fussy. We have always booked the last week of May/first week in June. The worst year we had was just after Covid where they didn't have enough staff hired in yet so the greens were slow but the courses were in pretty good shape overall. Looking forward to our trip back this year.

Not Ready for Guests - Very Disappointing Stay…read more This was one of our worst camping experiences. The campground is still under construction and should not be open. We were moved from the site we booked to one right next to a busy road -- extremely noisy. Construction crews started at 6 AM, blasting music by 7; my husband had to ask them to turn it down. Dust covered everything inside and out, and we couldn't even enjoy sitting outside. WiFi didn't work, which was a problem since my husband needed it for work. We got three separate calls from staff before arriving -- clearly not communicating. Then we were told the office closes at 5 PM. Very odd for a campground. No info on local attractions, no signage, no rules enforced -- speeding cars, off-leash dogs. The bathhouse was nice but unbearably hot. Now they're offering discounted "construction rates," but we paid full price. Friendly staff and nice concrete pads don't make up for the chaos. Would not stay again until it's actually finished and managed properly.

I quickly discovered that the A/C was not working, and a window unit in the room was also non-functional. It had not worked for many moons. When I contacted the property manager, she offered to bring fans and suggested I open the bathroom window. The windows in the main room were unable to be opened due to the shades, and I had to stand on the toilet to get the bathroom window open. As a solo female traveler, I would not have felt safe sleeping with the windows open anyway. Even with some air circulation, the room remained stifling. I spent three hours in the room before deciding to leave at 11:00 PM, having paid $100 for an unusable room. The property manager, Sandra, was polite, but this doesn't change the fact that it was way too hot. The air outside was easily 20 degrees cooler.
