We only stayed 1 night. Above us they had a dog that ran around the room starting at 2am. We could hear it going back and forth through the ceiling. Then around 4am it started to bark off-and-on. We had to check out a day early because we couldn't stay in that room another night. Since we didn't stay the second night, I would like a refund for that night.

Nicely updated and clean

With a bit of a rough start as our air conditioner wasn't working, this was a great stay. The modern updates really make this place nice. Maintenance staff was awesome getting the air going, the room was clean, bright and inviting, and beakfast delicious. A bit off the beaten path, this was a perfect place to stay for a quick yooper adventure.

Room was nice, TV was not working. Breakfast taste good, however they gave us a menu at check in with multiple options but only 1 choice at breakfast. Could have been because it was off season.

This was a random find as we were looking for a pit stop in between camping spots in the UP. We ended up booking an extra night due to the bugs and my family being tired of camping. This place was so nice, our view was stunning, breakfast was free and fantastic, the beds were very comfy, and my kids fought over top bunk in our family suit. The managers and staff were so friendly and gave us plenty of places to explore and enjoy locally plus free ski lift rides! We didn’t expect to stay and enjoy it as much as we did but now we are planning another stay later this year in the “off season” and I hope to get back again in winter to check out all their runs between the two hills.

An economical stay at a property in the UP! The resort is older, so expect some peeling paint and refurbishing. Location is great with access to hiking, waterfalls and the Porkies.
