The room was clean and spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The staff was curtious and professional. We stayed there after skiing the Highlands. The outdoor hot tub was perfect and the robes in the room were appreciated. The view of the bay is great, the restaurant was good, although a little on the pricey side. Overall, we had a great stay.

Beautiful hotel, staff was very nice, gorgeous views. Bugs were inescapable (due to being on water not due to cleanliness of hotel) making balcony unusable and spending time outside unenjoyable. Hotel very clean but pesky bugs throughout.

The property was beautiful and well situated just outside of Petoskey, yet close enough to go anywhere quickly. And the view of the bay was amazing.
