    This review is for Hanson Hills - http://www.hansonhills.org/ Winter fun in Northern Michigan! With a recommendation from my dad, we headed to Hanson Hills to go tubing. I haven't tubed in about 15 years and I've never paid to do it so I wasn't sure what to expect. First, thank you Hanson Hills Winter Sports Park for not trying to say that you are a "mountain." I know how some places in these parts try to claim that and I'm glad you were honest with your hill-ness. Hanson Hills has downhill and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and tubing. The day we went, they were having a ski jump contest with kids. It was pretty entertaining to watch as we waited for our allotted time slot to tube (you can call and make a reservation but we couldn't get cell service). There are no lifts for skiing, just tow ropes. Tubing is $9 for 1.5 hours. They hook a strap on your tube to a tow rope to get you up the hill. Yes, no more having to walk up a hill! The tubing hill was in good condition and I didn't realize how fast you go. I didn't see anyone wipe out but if you did, it would probably hurt a bit. I saw some adults go down with little kids on their laps but I wouldn't recommend this. It was a fun and I definitely recommend tubing here!

    The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant at check in. The young men that "threw" you down the…read morehill were engaged and quite hilarious. It really made the whole experience more fun. With limited ticket sales per hour slot, we didn't have to wait too long at bottom or top of the hill. Biggest issue was people taking too long to drag their own tubes off the ending spot....

    We made online reservations to go tubing at Timberlee on Saturday, March 6th - we made our…read morereservations on Wednesday, March 3rd. There were very few open tickets left, so I highly recommend making your reservations as far in advance as possible! You can cancel for a full refund before 48 hours of your tubing time. The website is a little contradictory as they say tubing is open for all ages, however, they highly encourage all tubers to be able to handle loading and unloading themselves on and off the tow rope. We have a 4.5 & 2 year old so we gambled, as I had heard they have double tubes and we'd be able to handle this issue by riding with them. When we arrived, we signed in inside and were given our passes and a quick run down of how things worked. I was happy to see the COVID safety precautions they had in place - plexiglass dividers, sanitizer, and lots of social distancing at the indoor tables. I will note, they require face masks to be worn inside and outside while on the hill. This was actually welcomed as it helped keep our faces warm and we didn't find it bothersome at all to have them on! Especially flying down the hill! They have a full bar, snacks, etc inside for sale - we did not take advantage but nice to know its there! Bathrooms are inside, as well. There is a pile of tubes that you get to choose from, double tubes are first come first serve and we were able to grab two. These were ideal for our young kids! We were able to load them on and off the tow rope easily and had no issues. The operator at the bottom is super helpful in making sure you tube is secured and you are good to go. There is an operator at the top that tells you to get off the tube and he unhooks it from the rope - did not expect that but it was very much welcomed! There was about 4 operators at the top of the hill that help coordinate when you can go down and help you get going - again, no anticipated but very welcomed! This allowed us to get situated with our kids and they launched us down the hill. The hill is pretty dang big! Given the recent warm up, the hill was also very icy! We did not have any issues falling out or tipping, thankfully, but I would definitely recommend helmets, especially for kids! I was very happy to see that they had put hay down at the bottom of the hill. Not only did this help combat the mud, slush, ice, water mess.. but it helped slow the tubes since you go about mach 10 down the hill! lol There is plenty of outdoor seating and a fire pit to enjoy, as well. All in all, we had a great experience at Timberlee and we look forward to coming back! Our kids loved it, and we as adults did, too! Also, we were disappointed we didn't see the Bloody Mary's until we were leaving, they looked really good!

It was a great choice! This was a Tuesday night in February, so we were able to get a very good price on a double queen suite. Room was clean, comfortable and no issues. We had planned to go skiing Tuesday evening but ended up at the pool with our kids. The main lodge has a decent size pool that starts indoors and continues outdoors. There is an indoor hot tub and an outdoor hot tub. Also there are two Saunas. The kids were enjoying themselves so much we didn't even get to go skiing! On Wednesday we got breakfast at the top of the hill. We have eaten here before and it's always been good. After breakfast we got our gear and headed to the slopes. Treetops isn't a huge hill, but for the value midweek and 3 lifts, it's was a great time. We got started right at 10am and skied until about 4pm before heading home. There was almost no traffic and it was non stop skiing. The kids loved it as well and really enjoyed the beginners terrain park they built.

    Went there with a group of 28 people for 8 nights the first week of August, the courses were great…read moreand also the staff, on the last day of golfing I left my rangefinder on the cart, and was never turned in, so that leaves two groups responsible, you decide????
