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!

Stayed here for one night for a quick getaway with my husband. The room was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The rooftop deck was wonderful to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Would love to come back for a longer stay and enjoy the other amenities. Close enough to walk downtown for shopping, food, or a great great craft beer at Short's. We were in town before check-in and they texted to let us know our room was ready 2 hours early. We will definitely be back and definitely recommend.

Breathtaking Spillway getaway!

Absolutely wonderful, we couldn’t be happier. The decor is stunning & the check-in process was super easy. All the amenities were fantastic, along with the recommendations for dinner in town. We were celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary & upon arriving we were welcomed with flowers, swan towels on the bed, some candy, celebration napkins & delicious cupcakes from Ruthann’s Bakery in town. Wow, we are blown away, the hospitality just went above & beyond! We can’t wait to return 💕

We have a dually truck that would probably not fit through the gate, so good thing we left it home. Also phone chargers on the night stands would be nice. Other than that I think our stay was great, although it would have been nice to have been accommodated the early check in at 2:pm as discussed. We came up for an event and had to wait until 4:pm to check in.

I can only say great things about this property not only was it perfectly decorated everything to the smallest detail was thought out incredibly thoughtful and answers to every question you could possibly have from the host quick responses. The amenities were perfect a full kitchen with everything you could need the bathroom was amazing. The bed was very comfortable. The view was wonderful. We had nothing but privacy the entire time we were there. There was a rooftop deck with an electric fire pit as well as a table if we wanted to eat up there with ambient lights a great view of the spillway we could hear music from downtown. You could walk to downtown in seven minutes to shop or eat. There were plenty of areas to get food to go if you didn’t want to go out there were hot tubs, mini golf. A sauna outside walking trails, cornhole games amazing fire pits throughout the property. Everything about this place is incredible and I can’t wait to stay again.
