Great location on the Inland Waterway. Lots to do for couples and families. The loft area with games and pool table is a nice bonus. Inviting, cozy lodge with a grand stone fireplace always burning. Clean rooms with great views of the river and open sky. Amazing King spa room. Adults-only pool from 9pm-9am. Extremely helpful front desk staff. Delicious breakfast with plenty of options. Gorgeous lobby, grounds, and patio. Well-appointed rooms with little balconies overlooking the river. Great pool!

Felt totally at home, no complaints whatsoever.

Absolutely loved the loft with game room, comfy bed, and separate room. The fire pit and patio were inviting, and having a pool for adults after hours was a great bonus. Beautiful and serene setting with a view of the river and bird activity. Friendly staff and convenient location.

Felt very cared for, nothing to complain about.

We had an amazing time at this hotel! The beauty of the property exceeded our expectations, and the location was perfect for our exploration of northern Michigan. We loved the walking trail in the back, which offered stunning views of the river. The staff was very friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with high ceilings and balconies that provided lovely views. The breakfast spread was impressive, offering a wide variety of food options to suit everyone's tastes.

All was well and we had a fantastic experience.

We got excellent value for our money at this lodge. The room was clean and well-appointed, and we loved the cozy common areas. The location was convenient and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable.

The breakfast menu could use some improvement with a wider variety of options.

Great location for exploring Petoskey and Mackinaw. Professional, friendly staff. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. Excellent outdoor recreational activities. Beautiful facility inside and out. Helpful and kind staff. Delicious breakfast.

Great location, beautiful views, amazing morning breakfast, balcony overlooking the water, cheap price.

Didn’t dislike anything about the property.

The complementary fresh coffee and popcorn were a great touch. the coffee was always fresh, and there was a variety of popcorn flavors to choose from. the location was perfect with easy access to the main highway. the room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed to ensure a good night's sleep.

Disliked the Crowded Living Area

I had a fantastic stay at the Crooked River Lodge! The room was spotless, spacious, and had a beautiful view from the deck. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. Great value for the money!

The breakfast option could be improved with a wider variety of choices.

Exceptionally friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, warm and inviting lobby, peaceful and quiet atmosphere, perfect temperature for the pool and hot tub, expansive patio with firepit.

Nothing at all.

I loved the free snowshoeing and kayaking - it was such a unique and fun experience! The views of the nature were breathtaking and made for great photos. The staff was friendly and helpful when I needed them. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy the great outdoors!

We loved the fantastic amenities for young children, including a playhouse cove with a play kitchen, bookshelves filled with toys and books, a wooden rocking horse, and a log furniture table with benches. The view and architecture were spectacular, and we also enjoyed the free snowshoes and flotation vests for guest use. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety of options, and we appreciated the complimentary coffee, ice water, and iced tea in the lobby at all times. The king spa room was amazing, and we loved that the pool was adults-only at certain times.

Felt exceptional, no complaints.

The hotel is conveniently located close to skiing but away from the hustle and bustle of ski resorts. The lodge has a beautiful location right on the river and scenic views. The rooms are comfortable and spacious with soft towels and a good breakfast selection. Outside, guests can enjoy activities such as kayaking and paddle boats, a pool with a waterfall, a firepit, and a fish pond.

One guest reported that the beds were too soft and heater wouldn't shut off all night, making for an uncomfortably hot room.

Convenient location, close to Petoskey and Mackinaw. Professional and helpful staff. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. Outdoor recreational activities available.

Delicious breakfast, balcony room exceeded expectations, great pool and hot tub, lots of extras available, lovely grounds and secluded location, buffet breakfast was fresh and tasty.

Nothing all excellent.

Our recent stay at Crooked River Lodge was nothing short of amazing. We were visiting Mackinac and wanted to avoid the crowds of Mackinaw City, so the location was perfect for us. It was also a short distance from Harbor Springs, which made for a great dinner after a day on the Island. The beautiful views and morning breakfast were unbeatable, and the pool, although we didn't use it, looked pretty cool. Our room had a balcony overlooking the water, which was a huge plus. All of this at a reasonable price makes it the ideal choice for our next trip to Boyne or Nubs.

Totally recommend this hotel.
