Casino was pretty decent, some older games but fun. We ate in the restaurant and dinner was very good. We were given two tickets for $3 off on "breakfast". Unlike the night before, our waitress was EXTREMELY unpleasant and "huffed" like any request we made was a major inconvenience for her. My sister had politely requested water with no ice as she has sensitive teeth...the huff. Sister asked for milk, brown sugar, toast, and raisins with her oatmeal. She was brought a half juice glass of milk with a large bowl of oatmeal and no spoon. Sister had to request more milk...huff. There were no spoons in the tableware. I gave my sister the spoon that came with my tea to avoid having to make more requests. There was no jelly or jam on the table or brought with my meal, so I had to ask for some...again, the huff. When we went to pay, we were told that only one coupon could be used with breakfast. I said our waitress did not offer separate checks. AFTER it was split, we were told that oatmeal was not considered breakfast...wtf. I also complained a bit about waitress Christine...found out she was manager...and unhappy about having to fill in on Memorial Day weekend. This woman is a very poor example for the people she manages...huff. I left a dollar tip but if I had known she was the manager, I would have left 2 cents.

It's a real mixed bag. The motel rooms are about what you would expect for $60. Beds look a bit…read moreworn, the carpet is an interesting red color. And there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms!!! Only in the lobby, which is not very useful. They do have an exercise room, which consists of two treadmills. The second morning I got up at 6 AM and went down there to use it and found it locked. I asked at the front desk and they said it opened at 7 AM. It would've been useful if there had been any signs on the exercise room which indicated hours of use. Especially since I had a meeting at 7:30. Why the two treadmills need to be protected until 7 AM is a mystery to me. They run able to unlock it early because the one person that had a gi is doing some other job. Not very user-friendly. On the bright side, I wandered into the restaurant, expecting a really poor quality meal. But I had a duck dinner which was actually pretty outstanding. It was half a duck, and it had a crispy skin. It was not dried out and had a slight maple flavor. It was served with rice and allowed you to access to the very lackluster salad bar. Combined with a glass of wine, which probably came out of a box but was a generous pour, my bill was a total of 20 bucks.l

Turns out it's just a small one room but, it was as clean a place as we've ever stayed. Had everything we needed as well. Frig, microwave, stove, sink, utensils, TV, and free Wi-FI. There is also a multi-family cabin there as well. There are some nice hiking trails around also. It's in the middle of nowhere but, it is a very nice place to stay. The owner is a very nice lady and will offer information if you need. She rents mostly to fisherman and hunters during the seasons. We will go back.

Its highly walkable location allows for stopping in at the local grocery store, Dixie's coffee shop, Manny's or the park to get a quick swim in.

Disappointed after all the planning and having our guests stay together, that the Lodge didn't put in the 5-star service we were expecting. Great hotel if you're looking to check out the area, not great for a special occasion stay.

Their location is good for being so close to the Porcupine Mountains State Park, but there are…read moreseveral other places nearby at considerably lower cost. We paid $190 per night (incl. tax). One of the features that attracted us was their in-cabin fireplaces, so we thought we would splurge a bit and pay the high price. Come to find out, the fireplaces are "closed" each summer until Sept. 15th, something that is NOT mentioned on their website. We didn't find this out until we were locked into our reservation. If they had acknowledged that their website should state that their fireplaces are seasonal and that they would correct it, it wouldn't have bothered me so much. Instead I was told "you should have asked". On the first day of our stay, it was low 50's with strong winds and rain. A fire in the fireplace would have been a nice option. Other complaints: the WIFI barely registered, the mattresses seemed to be on the inexpensive side, and the sheets were cotton/poly blend. On the plus side, the cabins are clean and modern, and the beach is nice.

We pretty much were the only ones in our wing of the lodge and it was great. Great showers, great roomy room, and view of what would be a lake, but it was iced over. The room was nice and cozy warm too. It would have been nice to have a channel to know what we were watching but we were gone a lot. Room service was great too! Everyone there was super friendly and helpful. One thing, feedback wise, is maybe to put a door before the hallway where the rooms are. The voices echo in the lobby and we could hear them all the way down the hallway. A little thing, but we noticed it. We would definitely stay here again, it was delightful and a great find!!

If you're in the area, shop local and don't stay in one of the chain hotels. Places like this deserve business.
