"Was a nice place to stay."

Cedar Hill Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a hidden Gem!!! My Husband and I will be returning for years ☺️ The price was very reasonable and the rooms were very clean 👌 the Beds were absolutely amazing, the pool and Hot tub were very clean and so nice, staff was so friendly and helpful and they put on a nice little breakfast 😀 Thank you for a incredible time. The Ferris Family"

Cabins of Mackinaw

8/10 Good

"Our room was fine. It was clean and quite adequate for spending the night. We will note that the pictures shown did not match the room that we received. The picture showed lovely rooms with wooden walls and modern bathroom counters, etc.. It also said we would stay in a cabin. Our room was attached to the office and just had regular wallpaper, nothing like the photo or description. That was not a real problem, but it was not what we were expecting. The price was very good and we rested well. 🙂"
