Odawa Hotel
"We stayed one night and would stay here again. The room was clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the bay. We didn't come for the casino, so can't describe the shuttle service. But we did use the hot tub which was delightful and well maintained."

"The cabin was perfect for 2 adults and 2 small dogs. We loved the privacy and the extreme quiet from the hussle and bussel of dayly life. If you like rustic this is a perfect place. River is so clean and sandy bottom. Outdoor kitchen was my favorite."
