"The location is excellent right on Lake Huron with Adirondack chairs, loungers, and fire pits ! Stayed in the one bedroom queen cottage with minimal space ! However with all the property offers outside, all you really only need is a bed and mini fridge! The pool was heated, large, and very accessible! Large rooms would have made stay even better but the price, amenities, and view make this an excellent place to stay especially on a budget or pricier weekend nights."

"We checked in the day after the bridge walk so it was pretty quiet. When I went in the FD clerk was in the restroom talking on her phone. I waited a bit and just before I was going to knock on the door, she came out. With that said, this is my fourth time staying here and you can't beat the view or location. We also enjoyed our room and since it was technically out of season, the price was very good."
