The staff is so friendly and kind. We stay every year, and while the pool isn't open that is due to the Northern Michigan region being cold still. We recommend staying here.

The location is awesome, the exterior was cute and looked cared for, actual rooms could use some work and were a little rough. But pretty clean and very well appointed. Down side is pool closed at 8:30 when staff left for the day which also meant there was no one on site to provide assistance of any kind.
