Our event planners were fantastic and addressed every detail in a professional manner. The staff at the UAW treated my daughter's wedding as if it were their own. There was no task too small or too great; everything was done to perfection. The food was second to none. Two weeks later, our guests were still raving about the wedding. We couldn't have made a better choice; I would highly recommend this facility for any important function. Some of our guests enjoyed lodging at the campgrounds in its natural beauty, while others enjoyed staying at the lodge or apartments. I was happy to see guests take advantage of some the many amenities such as the game room, swimming pool, hiking and biking through the untouched nature trails, and naturally, golfing at the infamous UAW Black Lake Golf Course.

Unfortunately, we decided to make reservations for their "Dining in Lavender" special event, and it was a huge disappointment. For $400, we expected a much higher-quality experience. The food was mediocre at best, the service was poor, and overall it didn't come close to justifying the price. If you're planning a visit, I'd recommend stopping by to enjoy the beautiful property and gift shop, but I'd skip the "Dining in Lavender" event and save your money. The event is a great idea but it's very poorly executed. I saw similar reviews about this when booking and should have listened to them!!

I cannot, cannot, cannot say enough about this venue and its venue manager/wedding planner, Brian…read moreSmith. I'm not the girl who dreamed of a magical wedding day my whole life (I wanted to get married in a courthouse) - but this unbelievably gorgeous venue and all of Brian's coordination made me feel like a queen on the day. Bride Tip: HIRE BRIAN as your wedding planner & coordinator. I can't even begin to cover the ways he and his incredible staff went above and beyond for not just me, but my party and family. His coordination with outside vendors, his setup team, and his sense of humor made the weekend enjoyable when I thought I'd be a hot mess. He also set us up with gorgeous home rentals so my friends and family could stay in town for the wedding and didn't have to stay in Gaylord or local rinky-dink hotels - I highly recommend you ask about these rentals, because my family RAVED about how gorgeous they were and I couldn't believe how cost effective the properties were in comparison to some of the Gaylord hotels. I might divorce my husband just so we can get remarried and do it all again at The Manor. Seriously, the best weekend of my life. I want you to feel as good as we did on your big day. Book this place before it fills up.

The venue is meticulously clean, warm and welcoming. The grounds are manicured to perfection. The staff is unbelievable! They are ready to meet your every need and willing to go above and beyond to make your dreams come true. If you are at all concerned about planning your event from a distance, you have absolutely no worries. Brian will be with you every step of the way to make sure that everything you want, need or may need is available. He has relationships with so many vendors to help complete your event. I highly recommend the Manor for your next Destination event.

GROSS! My family and I stayed at the Inn's cottage. When we arrived for our reservation the cottage…read morewas hot & stinky. Windows were closed up and no air conditioning running on a hot summer's day. There is 1 small window air conditioner for the entire place. Besides the heat, the first thing you notice is the gross, mildewy smell when you walk in the front door. Smells like Grandma's attic. Plus, black mold all around the bathtub. The Master Bedroom bed felt like a concrete slab. And what they don't show you on the website is that 3 out of 4 beds are actually in an attached garage & literally placed next to the Inn's storage area of vacuum cleaners, towels etc. Speaking of supplies, they don't even supply toilet paper. At least they were kind enough to supply a fly swatter, so you could swat at all the flying insects landing on you while you're trying to sleep in a garage. Then the cleaning lady busts in the cottage the next morning to do loads of laundry during your stay. We were scheduled to stay 2 nights but we couldn't handle 1 more night and chose to stay at another hotel. If you make the mistake of staying at this place, BYOTP (bring your own toilet paper) and be prepared for a rough night ahead. Before writing this review I brought my concerns to the hotel owner. She was rudely dismissive and refused to refund us for the extra night.

The hours are created by someone who obviously doesn't need the income (open 11-8) It's tough to get off the water and get in before 8 in the summer, then like the rest of the town.. it's closed except the local bar that stays open. The food: Not impressed. 1/8# burgers with the same pricing as a normal restaurant. Fish and chips $4-5 more than average. A medium rare cheeseburger is served well-done Server was very sweet, but not knowledgeable at all. (We really don't blame her at all) We asked about 3 different items, and she was honest about not trying any dishes, maybe new? Day one training should have given staff a taste of signature food so they have something to share with customers. It was also obvious she forgot to put our drink order in and took forever to bring it to us. The place has a great view of the river, but we were so let down after waiting so long to get in. So many spoke so highly of this place, we were really hoping it to be a great experience-but it's really nothing to brag about. We finally came by during mid-afternoon while it was pouring, minimal customers and service should have been on point, but it wasn't. I can't recommend this place at all. Save your money and go to Great Lakes Grill down the street. (I didn't want to give this place any stars, but Yelp requires at least one to post)
