Our stay here was very nice, the place was very clean and tidy. Had a perfect modern touch to it and the amenities were great. We really enjoyed the hot tub, and the choice to use the sauna, kayaks, and bicycles. The putting course near the entrance was a cute touch. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it if looking to stay in this area of Michigan. It was also only about a 10 minute drive from Torch Lake which was our reason for the visit!

What a great place to stay for our visit to Torch Lake! Spillway Lodges thought of everything down to a lighter for the fire pit and even a noise machine in the rooms. The rooms were clean, very well appointed and the property even had corn hole boards and a putting green. Would 100% stay here again.
