Again, all of your staff as of 09/19/2026 were amazing, I would just really like to see or hear that Carter and James get rewarded for going above and beyond their call of duty because it made our groups stay a lot more enjoyable!

The Bavarian Inn Lodge has plenty, plenty, plenty to do for the whole family! If you have kids,…read morethey will absolutely love this place. 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.

The food that was served was basic but delicious, served hot and refilled constantly. I like that it was allowed to stay out - we had several guests go back for seconds later in the night. As people began to leave, they began cleaning up. A little earlier than I would have liked but in the long run, it worked out nicely as we weren't there all night trying to get things taken care of. Oh! And the young man that was hired as a "hall monitor" - epic kudos! It was super cold out and he was great. The kids did a sparkler thing and we cleaned it up pretty good but he made sure everything was out and disposed of properly. All in all, this was a great place to have a wedding!

Very easy to book online and be sure to get a rewards sign up. We did a package that included pizza and pop, a chicken dinner at Zehnders, and a breakfast buffet for both mornings. The hotel is easy to spot next to Bronner's. The theme of gnomes and fairies is so adorable. Staff are awesome! They were so sweet to my daughter and us. Whether it was our waitress, lifeguards at the waterpark, or the front desk. We were able to check in early, so be sure to ask! Our room was one of the older rooms and was one of the ADA compliant rooms, which has larger doorways, no bathtub, a queen bed, and a seating area with a fireplace. The room decorations and everything in it are original. It's very desperately needs to get a facelift. The room was right off of the front desk in waterpark, so walking to the action only took a few steps. I noticed there is no recycling bin. There was a mini refrigerator, but the temperature control wasn't the greatest. Carpet was buckling. The seating area did have a pullout couch, but the couch itself was slippery with the fabric and pretty uncomfortable. Not sure how well house keeping was. There was a Nerf gun instructions paperwork behind one of our bedside nightstands. The water pressure was awesome. The bedding felt clean and the bed overall was comfortable. Housekeeping was able to give us a few more towels off their cleaning cart, which was nice. There is an arcade, but it's definitely not as big as the other hotel down the street. It's very crammed into one room. The pizza and cheese bread was absolutely delicious. Was not expecting that for a kid themed hotel. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, but the buffet items don't change. So the second day we were already kind of sick of the options. They do a nightly movie night in the lobby at 8 PM. If our daughter was older, we definitely would've snuggled up in the lobby to watch the movie. The waterpark was our favorite. Our daughter is just over two, and I was so surprised at how many things she was able to do. She even got to go on a waterslide with us, holding her to go down. Also, she was able to go down a waterslide all by herself, so she thought she was super cool! At the hotel down the street, there's barely anything for a two-year-old to do at their waterpark. She absolutely loved being able to wade in the water with the toddler pool going up to 2 feet. She also was brave enough to go under the big bucket that splashes. We stayed two nights and I think we went to the waterpark at least four or five times and she never got sick of it. There is a security checkpoint for the waterpark. Security will put UV light on your wristband to make sure it's not a fake also go through any bags that you're bringing into the waterpark. Do not bring towel towels, the waterpark provides towels for you. Additionally, they provide lifejackets. There are plenty of tables and chairs all along both water parks, the old side and the new side. The new side wasn't as toddler friendly. There was a small slide she could go down, otherwise there really wasn't much else for her to do. We had a great stay and I think with them updating all of the hotel rooms, I think Zehnder's is the place to be!

This truly breaks my heart to write because we have loved this facility for so many years…read more We have been bringing our children here annually (sometimes multiple times a year) since 2013. But recently in the last few years, we have noticed a shift (some things they may not directly have control over). But this past weekend was bad and we felt it was time to update our review to reflect what is happening now. From the second you walk into their lobby, throughout the hallways, seeping into the rooms, and even penetrating the waterpark areas, all you can smell is that legalized recreational product (I'm sure you can guess what I'm talking about). It's disgusting, lingering scent persisting everywhere. It clings onto your clothing, suitcase, EVERYTHING. And if you get a room that was previously occupied by guests who partake in that, it reeks of it for your whole stay! Adding to this, you can continuously find bandaids, hair and hair extensions floating in the water and lying around on the ground. Many children/teens are running wild (being very disrespectful) with no adult in sight. This place has lost its charm for us and it truly is sad. This was a vacation we looked forward to annually with our children and have created so many beautiful memories but sadly, it no longer does and then to add the price continuously increasing (which we knew would happen). If the smell of recreational products, filthy areas, and disrespectful guests is your vibe, then this is the place for you. What once used to be our favorite has sadly shifted over the last few years.

We had the murder mystery lunch and she accommodated a vegan and 2 vegetarians and as had tomato bisque, scones and sandwiches. We also had a peach cobbler dessert. At 6, we had a ghost hunter named Bob and his wife give us a tour and tell us stories, it was really interesting and they were a lot of fun. The mansion is absolutely beautiful and breakfast was so good! We would all come back.

I had my bridal shower here and it was the cutest, sweetest, most perfect tea party…read more Let's start with the important things: food. The scones are the best renditions I've found this side of the Atlantic. I consider myself to be an amateur scone connoisseur after eating plenty on trips abroad (would that just be called an American that eats scones? ), and these scones were amazing. They were presented with clotted cream, which is a rarity in America. None of that mattered to the rest of my party - they loved the scones independently. They are that good. Apart from that, we were served cucumber sandwiches, strawberry sandwiches, tea and coffee on china perfectly patterned for a tea party in a 1900s-era mansion. Following, we had soup and salad, both of which were very good. The staff was attentive, the food was good, the atmosphere was adorable. Again, don't miss the scones. The mansion is beautiful. Apart from impressive architecture, much is original or has been restored in the time period. It's so pretty, and as many of the guest rooms were empty on this particular day, the staff was happy to let us tour. Holly, one of the owners, even gave us a brief history lesson of the place, including her personal ghost stories. She was quick to note that the Lapeer Historical Society presents a tour of the Peters Mansion, so she is not the authority on the history, but was happy to answer what questions she could. They're working on restoring the ballroom on the third floor! I can only imagine. And we're planning on returning for that. We learned that they're open most Saturdays for visitors (which we never knew) and plan on returning with some other family members for that, too. The staff allowed our party to continue for a few hours, allowing us to enjoy our time and never rushed us. They even jumped in to offer to take group pictures! They were just nice people, and you could tell that they enjoyed entertaining in the beautiful mansion. Highly recommend. I'm sad we didn't do this earlier and plan to make it a tradition!

Apple Mountain can always be counted on to host wonderful events…read more I have been to weddings, fundraisers, and Holiday buffets. One of my favorites is the Holiday buffets. We had attended Thanksgiving dinner several years in a row due to my birthday landing on TD every 4 years and I was boycotting cooking!! Then, my FIL had knee surgery, my husbands grandmothers eyesight was getting worse - so I relented to cooking.... my husband and I decided my son should have the "homey" memories of TD.... then when we told him we weren't going to the Apple Mountain buffet, we were having dinner at the house he was SO disappointed - he LOVES the giant chocolate fountain for desert!! I borrowed a small one from a friend to make everyone happy. Well, guess what my birthday lands on TD again this year - and Apple Mountain here we come!!
