We spent two nights at the Bavarian Inn Lodge, and overall we were really happy with our stay! The…read morelocation is great; right beside the River Place Shops, and the building itself is massive, with tons to do: multiple pools, water slides, arcades, games, and even a huge indoor waterpark. It's an awesome spot for families. We loved the Bavarian theming and architecture throughout the lodge. Service was solid too; everyone we spoke with was friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious with a very comfy bed, plus a mini fridge with a freezer, microwave, and a couch. You also get a bunch of coupons for activities in the area, which is a great bonus. One thing we really appreciated was the adults-only section, a quieter area with a pool, hot tub, and a billiards table. Perfect for unwinding after busy days exploring Frankenmuth. Overall, a super enjoyable stay and somewhere we'd happily return to. For more honest travel and hotel reviews, make sure to check out our YouTube channel, A&M Roam!

Bought our room online, and signed up for the rewards program. The day of, we tried to get an earlier check in, but was told no. Tried to get a late check out and was told no. Checking in was a long line and not fun. The rooms are very outdated. They felt pretty clean? But the room definitely needs an overhaul. The names of the families is a cool concept regarding which room you stay in. But we had about 17 picture frames of this family watching over us while we slept, was weird. The beds at least were comfortable and felt clean with the bedding. It was nice to have a microwave and refrigerator in the room. But the bathrooms are definitely outdated and small. Getting to other areas of the hotels can be tough. I have a pretty good sense of direction, but it still was a challenge to get to which floor you need to go and what not. We got lost a few times or on the wrong floor. Signage is not the greatest. The family fun zone was great! Arcades were a lot of fun with different skill levels for all types of ages. Classic kids' play area gave me nostalgic vibes. Full circle to then have my child play on the same play scape as I did! Pretty good seating areas for families to take a break while playing the arcades and what not. The tickets versus prizes you get is laughable, but I feel like that's like that anywhere. The waterpark is epic! I'd give it five stars alone! The staff are super friendly and helpful. There is a security check of sorts when you walk in, especially if you have diaper bags and other bags. Plenty of tables and chairs for seating. We thought about getting a cabana and glad we didn't waste the money. The food at the waterpark was not horribly overpriced and tasted pretty good. The lazy river is not so lazy. It's more like a rapid than a lazy river. The toddler area is plentiful and has a ton of slides and areas. My kiddo was under 18 months so there wasn't much she could do. She loved the water itself, the swings and there was a tiny little slide she could go on. Kiddos have to wear life jackets and they were provided which was nice. The water slides for the adults were great. Fast and fun! The swim up adult bar was closed so some exhausted parents with grandparents being able to watch the kids...that was disappointing. Food options outside of the waterpark were also good! We didn't do a chicken dinner but got carry out from the hotel restaurant. Good portions, tasty, and easy to order. Enjoyed our stay! Other than the rooms being outdated. Our kiddos were entertained non stopped! You could easily visit the waterpark for a few hours or you could stay a few days.

Checking in was slow with no one being at the front desk. After walking around the lobby, sayin hello behind the counter and finally calling the desk someone came out from the back. We had multiple issues with this during the first day of our stay when needed bedding for the couch and towels for the pool. Other than the first day the experience was good. The kids loved the pool. The gym is small but well equipped. The tvs don't work in the gym either so bring your own device. The breakfast had a great selection each morning and they did a great job of keeping it stocked.

This property feels as though it has seen very few updates since it opened around 2014. One of my…read morebiggest frustrations was the lack of convenient electrical outlets. There was only a single outlet available at the desk, and the desk lamp occupied one of the plugs. The lamp itself had no built-in outlets or USB ports. In an era when travelers routinely need to charge phones, laptops, tablets, and medical devices, the room's charging options felt inadequate. I was also disappointed by the front desk service. At checkout, I provided my room number and was told I was checked out, yet the employee never appeared to access the computer or complete any transaction. Because I wanted documentation showing that I had checked out and at what time, I requested a printed folio. Since this was an award stay with a zero balance, the employee initially resisted, claiming the printout would be blank. After I insisted, she eventually printed the folio, which showed my checkout information and a zero balance exactly as expected. The evening before, another employee informed me that a $10 charge would be placed on my card as a "fee," but could not explain what the fee was for. My assumption is that it was actually a temporary authorization hold for incidentals rather than an actual charge, but the explanation provided was unclear and left me with little confidence. The location is convenient, but the dated room features and inconsistent front desk service detracted from the overall experience.

I am no longer a member as I no longer play golf due to an unrelated injury that makes it painful to play. My kids and wife really did not have much interest in golfing, so I decided to drop my membership. The other poster who said that the pro said "you will never get in" was talking about the fact there was a 4 year wait list around that time, not about his attire. When I was a member, the people were always friendly and I could usually strike up a game by myself, or get together with someone else who was playing by themselves or less than a foursome.

I get it, same longitude and wines should grow similar and all that jazz, but Michigan wines outside of the sweeter styles really never taste right to me. Well whatever they are doing here is nothing short of scientifically brilliant. Probably some of the best MItten Vino I have ever had and that assessement is from traveling all around the state and trying different areas. The Frontenac, Petite Pearl, Marquette were my favorites by far. But my five stars isn't for the wine, it's for the sheer joy this place brings me. Absolutely beautiful campus with sheep and goats and a big white furball of a dog who looks so adorable but is trained to kill any possible threat to his wards. The large barn event space and indoor seating is nothing short of gorgeous and of course sitting outside is just pure joy. I will add more pics as I come across them.

"Review #500" :-D…read more October 31, 2024 On Friday October 4th I attended a Beautiful Fall wedding at The Pine Knob Mansion for My Dear and Close friends Phil & Jessica. The main road entrance starts with a welcome sign to Pine Knob Golf Course. The winding road will lead you pass the greens with golfers, then several expensive residential homes. There are two venue banquet buildings called The Carriage and this one called The Pine Knob Mansion. Both have valet parking service at their entrance doors. My photos attached will show how wonderful this place was from start to finish. The ceremony was outside in the Garden Gazebo area overlooking the ski lifts and property of Pine Knob with fold up chairs on the grass area. This venue can accommodate all seasons of the year for many memorable and personal events. The outdoor brick patio was large enough for both cocktail hour after ceremony and again in the evening with a DJ for music and dancing. The Bride and Groom performed their special dances together on it plus with their parents. The wedding and party time continued till midnight! The efficient servers were very attentive when eating the plated sit-down dinner. They also served refill of waters quickly too. The Formal banquet room was very elegant with Chiavari Chairs, along with great lighting. Check out my attached photos of Jess and Phil's special and lovely wedding which expresses it all! The Food was Fantastic and Oh My Deeeelicious along with Great plate presentation! This location can be found on The Knot and has different price packages based on your event for food and desserts. My Friends Phi and Jess opted to bring in their own seasonal desserts with cider and donuts along with mini parfait desserts for that special Fall Style Theme. My photos attached shows a wooden wall with pegs on it for displaying the variety of donuts. What a wonderful and impeccable wedding venue for Phil & Jessica. Thanks to the terrific and pleasant staff who showed teamwork working together serving here at The Pine Knob Mansion. Sincerely, Karen N. SpecialK :-)
