    This review is for the ski operation only. I did not eat or drink anything here, although I did…read moreuse the (modernized, thank you Midwest Family Ski Resorts MFSR), the owner of the past couple years. The ski hill centers around a high speed 6 person lift, which runs very well with friendly staff. Buy your lift tickets online (it is cheaper), then you get RFID card at the outside ticket counter. Do the waivers online ahead of time, will save time as well. The runs are well groomed, fairly well marked. Lots of variety, good for beginner to advanced skiers. Additional lifts are present throughout the terrain, with really nice, friendly lifties. I highly recommend as a destination ski area for the Midwest. MFSR has spent $15 million upgrade this hill, and it shows.

    Never again. I booked an onsite property at Snow River…read moreMountain Resort and only realized after checking in that I had accidentally booked two rooms. Despite staying for the weekend and the resort being practically empty, they refused to cancel even part of the reservation or offer a future credit because it wasn't canceled 30 days in advance. My mistake ended up costing me $600. None of the front desk staff seemed to have the authority to make decisions about refunds. The only person who could--Teegan--had no direct line, never responded, and despite calling for an entire week, I never once spoke to her. To make matters worse, the unit above us had a water leak, and our bathroom ceiling literally collapsed. Still no refund, no compensation, not even an apology from management. I have great memories of skiing these hills back when they were Indian Head and Black Jack. Sadly, after this experience, I won't be returning.

    Oh how I wish for zero stars. We were on a trip with a group of friends and this is where they…read morepicked to stay. The pictures from whatever booking site they used are very deceiving. Looking at the booking site pictures, I wasn't thrilled with the place but I figured I could handle it for 2 days. Once we got there, however, it was awful and it was a miserable stay. As soon as you walk in the door you are knocked over my the overwhelming smell of mildew that permeates the building. It is dark but not dark enough to hade the wrinkled up carpet that you don't want to walk on barefoot. The bathroom we used was dark and the toilets barely flush, very challenging when you are sharing bathrooms with others and people need to flush more than pee. All the rooms had missing or burnt out lightbulbs that added to the darkness of the place. The window air conditioning unit in the living room kitchen are was loud and leaked water on the floor so we were constantly wiping up puddles of water. The air conditioning unit in the attic bedroom we had, kept the room cool but it was loud and woke you up about every 30 minutes when it was going through some cycle that sounded like water running down the wall. There are no closets in the bedrooms either. The deck had 3 gas grills and they were all so disgustingly dirty you wouldn't want to cook on them. The binder with instructions said the house had been "cleaned and sterilized" I'm pretty sure that is false.

Snowmobile and ATV trail runs in front of the lodge. The Piper Haus lodge is open all year and is in close proximity to a wide variety of attractions on Michigan's Upper Peninsula from golf courses, hiking and biking trails, waterfalls to Copper Peak. The large group lodge is also very near Blackjack Ski Resort, Whitecap Mountain, and Indianhead Mountain as well as Lake Superior and the Porcupine Mountains. The lodge has 2 units, each with 7 bedrooms and will accommodate up to 20 guests each. The units may be combined to host a total of up to 40 guests. Each unit offers 4 bathrooms, its own kitchen, hot tub, sauna and two wood burning fireplaces.
