Mackinaw Timbers Cabins - Kids' nook

Mackinaw Timbers Cabins

(2 reviews)

My little kitsch-loving, retro-embracing heart was full as soon as I stepped into "The Cadillac"…read morecabin at Mackinaw Timbers. It was furnished with so many cool, thrifted knickknacks, paint-by-number paintings, out-of-print books, old games and -- the best part -- a VCR with VHS tapes! Yes, people. You, too, can curl up on the vintage leather couch and watch a VHS of 1997's hit war romance Life is Beautiful (or Rocky III or 39 Steps, or one of the other two dozen tapes available in the cabin). Everywhere we looked as we explored the cabin, there was something new to see and be delighted by. The Cadillac is the largest cabin at this vacation cabin property. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a fully furnished kitchen with a gas range, farmhouse sink, new "vintage" refrigerator and a pour-over coffee maker with local coffee. It also has a large dining table, vintage leather couch and recliner to curl up in while watching that VHS movie of your choice. Or if you're not into old-school media, there's also Roku on the smart TV. Children will be delighted by the special kids nook that has been created just for them, which includes classic books and games, and a vintage record player with kids records. It turns out that all of the cabins, not just The Cadillac, are decorated with their own unique vintage furniture and knickknacks. There are 10 cabins on the property. Outside, guests are invited to enjoy a community fire pit and lawn games. There's also a covered shed with firewood that you can purchase for a few dollars. (You pay on the honor system by slipping some cash into a slot.) The cabins are located less than four miles away from downtown Cadillac. There is no one on site at the property, so you work with the owner via email to set up your stay. They will give you the combination to get into your cabin, and if you have any problems, they're only a phone call/text away. It was a very low-key, relaxing stay. I 100% recommend staying at Mackinaw Timbers if you want a unique lodging experience in the Cadillac area.

I had the pleasure of spending the week in the Ellie May cabin at Mackinaw Timbers. Small cabin…read morecontaining all the convinces of home. Roku flat-screen TV. WiFi.

The Lake View Motel & Gift Shop

Beware! I was looking at The LakeView Motel in Lake City,…read morenorthern Michigan (near Cadillac). Their advertised rate is $46 per night. I tried to book a room for 1 adult, 2 nights (during weekdays), where it was also still showing the $46 price. It told me the total for the 2 nights is $218, while they were still showing the $46/night. Now 46 x 2 = 92, + 6% tax = $97.52 total. How the hell did this total jump to $218, an additional $120.48? I understand there is a charge of a few dollars as a fee, probably $4 to $5. Why are they trying to rip me off with almost $120??? That's a place I will make sure to avoid.

Me and my little boy stayed her for the first time this summer right after the 4th of July holiday…read more We needed a jumping-off-spot that was affordable. This place fit the bill. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The room was clean and had everything we may have needed complete with a microwave, a coffeemaker and mini-fridge. The room may have been their smallest which is likely why it was least expensive, but it had a huge bathroom that was also clean. I let my little boy have the bed and brought a cot to sleep on. It was a little cramped for the two of us with the cot. My only complaint was that our room had access to the room next door and in the evenings the smell from their microwave dinner would waft in. This July I think I'll opt for a larger room, otherwise this was a great spot to stay. I almost buried the lead...they're a stone's throw from the public beach too. We walked over for a late swim the night before we left. This was hugely cool to be right around the corner from the beach. Definitely worth checking into.

Doherty hotel is a great place to stay when you come in from out of town. The decor is a bit dated,…read morebut I think that adds to its charm. They have both a restaurant and a bar downstairs by the front desk and the food is absolutely delectable. I could eat their onion rings all day every day! The rooms can be slightly pricey, but that's to be expected in a smaller town. I think the best value is with their jacuzzi rooms, which aren't much more expensive than standard rooms. Service is exceptional, as well. I've yet to meet someone there who isn't both respectful and kind. Since we live nearby, we frequently take the kids there to go swimming for a few hours. Again, a tad pricey, but better than a long trek out of town to a public pool. To add a bit of fun to the stay, some swear it's haunted! Do you believe in ghosts?

Stopped in for a beer. The Guinness on tap was fresh, cold and good. The bartender on a Saturday…read morewas not friendly. We only had one drink, she left the bill in the glass and never returned to cash us out. She knew we were only having one drink. We had to ask to be checked out and she never said thank you all she said was here's your card. Apparently she doesn't care about making money as her tip could've been doubled from the $2 we left her. Tips are still based on service not to be expected. No one said goodbye as we left. The establishment was mostly older people. The decor hadn't been updated in any way and felt like it has looked like this for many years which made it look tired and worn rather than the vibe of a thriving business. Historical doesn't necessarily mean run down.

North Winds Lodge at Higgins Lake

Clean and has everything you need. Shampoo & conditioner in push button container in shower…read morecomfortable beds. Cable TV, Wi-Fi (though I didn't use it. Coffee maker and coffee. Microwave, cold refrigerator. Great location near Kelly Beach, 2 restaurants, Party/Liquor store w/gas station. Located near I-75 and US-127. Also S. Higgins State Park, which is awesome. At least 6 boat ramps, beach, playground, concession bldg. one of the clearest, most beautiful lakes you'll ever see. Only thing I can complain about is bath faucet is very hard to turn on.

This motel is very clean & cute. The bed was very comfortable. Plenty of pillows and towels were…read moresupplied. Bedding was soft, clean, & very cozy. There was an alarm clock that had multiple different charging cables in it. Very clean bathroom and the wood floors were nice versus carpet. 10/10 I would stay here again. My only complaints are very minimal... (I hope my complainants don't discourage people from staying here. It's a GREAT little motel. We were just passing through but I wish we could have stayed longer) The heat is set at 68° and then you can turn on the baseboard heaters if you're cold. My husband and I like it chilly at night so 68° felt very warm. Luckily they had a box fan in the corner so that was very helpful. My other complaint is the soap and shampoo and condition felt cheap and didn't smell very goos. I wish a motel as cute as this one would upgrade to a nicer recognizable brand.
