This review is on the hotel ONLY - not the water park. I hadn't stayed here since I was a kid (I'm…read more40!) and I don't think much has changed and that is part of the charm. While everything looks quite dated - it was all VERY clean. I was honestly surprised at how clean our room, especially the bathroom, was. Our room had a mini fridge and microwave - not always standard. Beds were comfy and big fluffy pillows. The vanity is outside the door from the toilet/shower which is nice, but counter is SUPER short - I had to kneel to do my skincare. Carpet seemed clean, as did all the other items in the room. Plenty of towels, too. Honestly, I can't say anything negative. While it is old, it appears well taken care of. I did not interact with any staff, so can't say anything there. Overall, we'd be back!

UPDATE: 6/26 - My child developed DOUBLE pink-eye after visiting this water park!!!…read more To the manager that replied: Yes, I spoke to two different ladies. the first young lady was the one giggling and laughing and asking about beer orders. The second time I called, I ASKED to speak to a manager and was switched over, so of course she didn't hear the laughter or giggling I heard. The trip started off fairly well, until around dinner time! We waited over an hour and 15 minutes for dinner after the automated system said 20-40 minutes. When I did call, I was met with laughter on the other line and was told, "we're understaffed - but are you the room that ordered all the beer?" "Nope. Definitely not. We have kids in tow and we do not drink. Me and my family are STILL waiting for food..." To which she laughed again, said they were understaffed and claimed the young lady hauling food was on the floor and would be "right there". 15 minutes later, I called again and they removed the food from our bill - which I appreciated, but also hated having to ask for - AGAIN. Also, asking me about an 'order' because the staff was already taking too long seemed borderline inappropriate. That being said, my kiddos are both 7, one chose this waterpark as her birthday venue, and everyone had a fun time. (It's a tad frustrating that check-in is so late and in order to get INTO the water park, with the most slides that is, you had to pay extra. So, anyone who pays for just the park gets in earlier technically. Which again, is a tad annoying. You pay more to stay and then pay even more to play. The lazy river, the family raft ride and the outside hot tub were their favorites to play around in a there are a few inside we didn't even check out. The breakfast/dinner/game time coupons and cards were all pretty nifty and we used every single one of them. It is a bit misleading that the place to enjoy dinner is the 'Bavarian Inn Restaurant' and is not attached to the hotel in any way and says it closes at 8:00. We booked it there to arrive in time for a dinner only to see them seating people at 8:55. All of our issues revolved around meals/food, and younger staff members just joking around when you try to ask questions, but overall - my kiddos had a great time and that was the goal.

This was our first time staying here. We actually selected this hotel over another local chain…read more Upon arrival we were told that they are remodeling but they put us in a remodeled room. That room was dirty and clearly not finished. The door to the work room was also across the hall and open. There were tools and supplies everywhere and it was quite messy. The hall carpets contained dust. The elevator was usable but covered with moving blankets. Notes were posted about the delicate state of the elevator and that it could take two hours if you were stuck inside. They moved us to another room and that room was definitely better. However the sink pipe leaked (good thing we had two small trash cans). The shower rod was uneven so the curtain leaked on the floor. We had to ask for linens for the sofa bed and an extra towel. Also, I'd like to see more outlets in the bedroom. Overall the quality of the remodel looks a little shabby. Hopefully they get their act together.

I was a member for years and it is a great course. When I signed up in the early 2000's it took…read moreme around 3 years to get into the club due to the wait list. 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. This is a GOLF Club more than a "Country Club" as there is no swimming pool, or tennis courts...

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.

The pizza was too goopy and sweet for my taste. It has so much potential to be amazing but maybe not as the top line menu item. Maybe as an appetizer? Not sure. I needed something more savory.

"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 :-)
