Think Great Wolf Lodge without the obnoxious water park. Family friendly with indoor pool (didn't use) and spacious dock, fishing and water access. You'll have a short drive for lunch and dinner, but breakfast was good.

My husband and I stayed with our two young kids. We loved the tranquility of the property. Loved that there was a pool and little play place for the kids at the lodge. The rooms were spacious and cozy. Everything was comfortable and quiet. It’s perfect for a getaway and close to Indian river, petoskey. Harbor springs etc.

Gorgeous property. Very quiet. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. View from rooms absolutely lovely. Fire pit every night and morning for coffee and s'mores, plus big stone fireplace inside between soaring windows for the view. Sweet village location for quiet visit but close to Mackinaw City, Cheboygan, Harbor Springs and Petoskey for more adventures. Kayaks and bikes onsite. Surrounded by beautiful rural countryside literally minutes away. What's not to love? We will return for sure!

The atmosphere is warm and inviting. While the room décor is somewhat dated, it complements the woodsy character of the lodge and adds to its cozy, nostalgic feel. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would happily return.

Very nice property, room was very nice, staff was very friendly. We have been coming to this Lodge for five years, at least twice a year, we were greatly disappointed that they had eliminated their hot breakfast. The breakfast was what made the Crooked River Lodge unique, they took out the juice machine, cut back on variety of breads they had and a few other things. They no longer have mouthwash available in the rooms. New ownship has not made this better. This was a destination facility for us, we will be now be looking for a replacement due to the major let down from this trip.

Beautiful views from all rooms based on the building layout. Large Outdoor gas fireplace is a nice feature, along with onsite walking trail. They advertised a full breakfast, which it is not. There were no cooked eggs, bacon or sausage/ham. As such, it is a choice of only high sugar "foods" with the only exception being a fruitbowl with oranges/bananas and also boiled eggs. Since we were not interested in a sugarfest, we could not avail ourselves of the "included breakfast" and had to go up the street to "Bobs" to get what we consider a "full breakfast".

Great Stay

Our stay here was wounderful. The staff was very courteous and efficient. Our room was very clean, modern looking with a very nice color scheme. The view was nice overlooking Crooked River. I am sure it would be super fun in warmer months as there are open spaces to roam or go boating. We would definitely recommend staying here.
