The room was spacious and very accommodating catering for our requirements. Meals were available when needed and the choices good. Most of the hotel staff were extremely helpful when anything was asked of them. It was good to have a well stocked vending macine to hand.

This is a lovely hotel if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle if every day life. There is no bar or restaurant on site. But owners are happy for you to bring your own alcohol to drink. And they recommended an excellent restaurant. All in all a great stay.

What a fantastic place to stay! I highly recommend, especially if staying in suite #151. Great pool, washing facilities and a lovely continental breakfast.

Check in was a bit weird, the guy at the desk seemed inconvenienced by us being there (same guy at check out, completely different attitude - it was like day & night!)
The room was great - clean & spacious. Breakfast was decent.
Best thing about the property was the lake view! Absolutely stunning. And so close to the beach.
Not much else to do in Oscoda than the beach, but definitely worth the trip if you get the weather.

Nice clean rooms with balconies but we couldn't use ours as person below was constantly smoking and it wasn't tobacco (in non-smoking hotel!). Spoil it for us as we could not enjoy the weather and fresh air on the balcony. Nice private beach with sitting, ok breakfast. Very nice and friendly staff. Good facilities.
