Only a few minutes from Mackinaw City. Super clean, adorably decorated, plenty of towels (very important.) Our double queen room had it all, well almost, no hair blow dryer or tea bags. Those coffee drinkers get everything though. The kitchen has an almost full-size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, small convection oven thing, utensils, etc., a table and 2 chairs. Comfortable beds, plenty of pillows, oh, I didn't see any extra blankets. The property offers lawn games and lakefront across the street. I did hear traffic from the nearby highway, so if you are a light sleeper pack accordingly. Geez, as you can tell, I really liked this place.

Chad (the owner) is an incredibly nice guy who worked exceptionally hard to be as accommodating as possible. The rooms were impeccably clean and stylistically modern- and I slept like a baby. The resort provides access to a lakeside beach with a myriad of water, toys free to use, as well as a beautiful fire pit and porch swing chair. Kindling included! With the six mile drive to the ferry, the next time I want to go to Mackinac - I will undoubtedly stay here. And you should too!

He wasnt looking where he was going while facing uphill and ran right into her. The sharp back edge of his board cut her wide up open and left a deep bruise. It ruined our whole trip to michigan. Afterwards he refused to get snow patrol and was more interested in continuing his training session rather than helping my wife who was on the ground crying and in immense pain. He left and I had to help her myself even though she couldnt put any weight on her right leg. Hey patella tendon might be torn and she may never be able to snowboard again. I THINK THESE MORONS SAW SHES BLACK AND TREATED HER LIKE SHE SHOULDNT BE THERE. 2 days later and I cant get Boyne highlands to call me back or send me their insurance they have for their instructors. AVOID THIS PLACE COMPLETELY IF YOU THINK THE BOYNE MANAGEMENT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSE YOU.

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.

The main inn lobby is warm and inviting with fresh baked cookies daily, a wood fireplace, and friendly faces to greet guests. The grounds are well manicured with a quaint and sufficient outdoor pool for the days when the chill of the Great Lakes is a bit much. The inn is steps from their private dock on the shores of Little Traverse Bay and a few additional minutes be foot to the shops and restaurants of downtown. Colonial Inn continues to be the heartbeat of hospitality in Harbor Springs.

The captain Mara & first mate Jeff were fantastic and very knowledgeable about a lot of things. It was a great mixture of them filling us in on things as well as giving us time as a group. We did the two hour charter which we felt was perfect for getting some sun and boat action around the harbor/bay. They also offer additional options and cap group size at 6. There was plenty of room above and below deck. Highly recommend & would definitely do again. #Harborspringspirate

The park was alight with brilliant shades of red and amber leaves falling from the trees. It made for a beautiful drive to see the color. The park does require a star park recreation pass or sticker on your vehicle to drive around, but the office appeared closed for the season, yet the park was still open, so it didn't matter. It's a nice sized park and is well-maintained, with plenty of nice spots for taking in scenery, lake views on one side, restrooms, and picnic areas. I recommended it for anyone who loves nature. Visit in the fall while the trees are turning color, yet weather seems temperate.

We normally don't spend a lot of time in the living area part of a suite, but here, the furniture was so comfortable that we lounged watching shows and eating charcuterie! The addition of an ottoman was key. Also, the long piece of furniture under the TV that held two open carry-ons was great! The back space with the bench swing and Adirondack chairs overlooking a pond was lovely. The bed and pillows were very comfortable (I usually have to ask for extra pillows, but didn't need to here). We appreciated the outlets on the bedside lamps. However, we struggled a little getting the temperature right without having the A/C blowing so loudly. It was hard to hear the TV or sleep with how loud the system was. The walk-in shower and shampoo products were nice. The staff was lovely. I would recommend staying here, but still found it pricey for $848.96 for 2 nights. I could stay in a place in NYC for that amount! Marriott, please be fair on pricing.

We went in spring, but there are two ski resorts within five minutes. The pool facilities are nice. There's an indoor option for when the weather is too cold. The walls are fairly thin. We could hear much of the activity in the unit next to us, and they weren't noisy people.
