This was a great motel. The grounds are beautiful, the pool was awesome, and there is a private beach that you can walk to or drive with private parking. It’s a small little beach area, but nonetheless, very nice. We went down for the sunset and it was awesome. We were able to find some Lake Huron cold water agates.

A lovely stay

A beautiful estate! The grounds were very well maintained. In the rooms, there were a large number of hooks, which in my opinion, is what makes a hotel room truly great. Everyone had space to hang their towels. Breakfast in the restaurant had both large and small portions available which was perfect to not have to carry left overs around all day. The pool was also well maintained. We watched the employee get it ready for the day as we ate breakfast and were impressed with his thoroughness and committment to regulations. As former lifeguards, we knew all the steps that should be completed. Our highlight (besides the hooks!) was the private beach. You can drive down a short road and park and then enjoy a private beach! There was no one else there on a Monday evening and we enjoyed the sunset.

This is the second time we have been here. We will certainly return again next summer. It is an oasis but close enough to Grand Bend. We highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet relaxing place.

A very pleasant getaway

We loved the setting/landscape, the outdoor patio, and the pool. Our room was lovely, too, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We also liked the proximity to the lake/beach. It took us about 10 minutes to walk to the beach and we enjoyed sunset by the water. The restaurant in the hotel was also nice, if a bit misleading about the description of the dishes (e.g., two eggs was really one egg if you opted for the small portion). But overall, we enjoyed our stay. I loved the in-room coffee a lot and our room had a fireplace that, even if it was only decorative, it still made the room feel cozy. We hope to come back again sometime.

Hotel was very nice. Dinner included excellent vegetable curry soup w/ lovely presentation. My partner had birthday noted on reservation and was surprised with lovely dessert creation. Disappointed that access to Lake Huron on property was a short hike away, and 50 steps down to semi-rocky beach. We booked “standard 2 Queen room”. Turns out all these lower price rooms face hwy, luckily did not hear traffic- nothing else available but pricey rooms. When checking out, seems they charged my credit card 48 hours ahead, which I did not realize. We wanted to pay cash, they had to credit account and it took 4 days before the credit appeared on my statement. Overall, very nice experience and would return, now that we are aware of the limitations and quirks of the place.
