We normally don't spend a lot of time in the living area part of a suite, but here, the furniture was so comfortable that we lounged watching shows and eating charcuterie! The addition of an ottoman was key. Also, the long piece of furniture under the TV that held two open carry-ons was great! The back space with the bench swing and Adirondack chairs overlooking a pond was lovely. The bed and pillows were very comfortable (I usually have to ask for extra pillows, but didn't need to here). We appreciated the outlets on the bedside lamps. However, we struggled a little getting the temperature right without having the A/C blowing so loudly. It was hard to hear the TV or sleep with how loud the system was. The walk-in shower and shampoo products were nice. The staff was lovely. I would recommend staying here, but still found it pricey for $848.96 for 2 nights. I could stay in a place in NYC for that amount! Marriott, please be fair on pricing.

This cozy hotel, nestled near Petosky and surrounded by many wineries, is the most fabulous boutique hotel. The outdoor trees are beautifully decorated and it makes you feel like you're in a hallmark movie. As we drove up, and parked we were met by an employee who knew our names and took our bags to our room. Felt like I was in Dubai getting VIP status service again. Our check-in was swift, and we were given a tour of the downstairs which had an amazing bar with a roaring fire, and free snacks and waters. It also had a small gym, and a game room containing a billiards table. Once we finally got to the room we were so shocked. The room was massive and absolutely breath taking. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the sheets were super soft. The highlight was the outdoor patio. We got a room on the first floor. The patio came enclosed with heaters so that you can go out and look out at the lake and not freeze. During Christmas they put a Christmas tree on each patio. Very romantic and festive. Service is, by far, the number one thing about this place. The hotels beauty is obvious, but it only goes so far if the service isn't there. We loved every minute of our stay. The bartender in the evening was the best. We sat there for hours and just chatted. He was very personable, and fun to talk to. We also wanted to use the jacuzzi, so the front desk employee went, and opened it up for us even though it was freezing outside. They also let us stay 20 minutes past the hours of operation without question. There were many more things we didn't do like snow shoeing on the lake, but they offer many things for kids, families, or outdoor enthusiasts. Overall, this was probably one of the best vacations we have had. From the service to Amenities they checked every box. If you are looking for romance, or even a family get away then this place is a must. We also took advantage of the wineries in the area. They are still open in the winter. I wish I would of snapped more photos for all to see, but I was wanted to live in the moment and not technology. This place has won many awards as a top wine hotel in the country. Just make sure you call way in advance for reservations. They book up extremely early. We booked a year in advance.

I had called a few months before and had an open reservation. I checked a few days before arrival, and the kind lady that had helped me the whole time had extended my arrival time by a day, assuming (correctly!) that'd I'd want to show up early. Fantastic customer service! I wasn't much of a fan of having to fill out a card with my info on it, but it's all info they could acquire by just running my license plate. I didn't want to pay up front, but I'm pretty sure I've had to at literally every other hotel. This one just felt more seedy somehow. My room, 105, was nice enough. It was decorated like someone stopped at a garage sale and bought a bunch of "outdoorsy" nicknacks and spread them around. Kind of odd, but not a dealbreaker. Small microwave, mini fridge, tiny table, single chair with a "seen better days" cushion, coatrack, dresser, all the normal fixins. The bathroom was small, but for a normal sized person, it was adequate. No soap or shampoo was provided, but there were a couple bars of hotel hand soap. If your waist size is more than 30", it's unlikely you will be able to wrap the provided towel around yourself. Nice hot water and pressure though! The toilet took some finesse to flush. The trick is to hold it until you actually see it complete the flush. One main problem I had was the bed. Nice big bed, normal boxspring. Likely the worst bed I've slept on in my life. I woke up the first morning fine, but developed a headache a bit later. The second night, I was getting a cold, and the bed took no prisoners. Splitting headache that morning with a lot of body aches. I was back out on stages that day and feeling worse from poor sleep AND getting sick. I honestly couldn't bear the thought of sleeping on that bed again, so I drove seven hours home with a fever, fighting off sleep, just to get rest on my own bed. I wanted to discuss in person that I was popping out early and my concerns, but no one answered the door at the office. I'll grant that I did not call the number (literally posted on the door), but it would have been nice to at least been acknowledged that I left early. I won't ask for money back, as the initial service was great and it's not their fault I got sick. But I can say if you get sick and stay in my room, you're in my prayers. Maybe bring a cot and bed roll.
