The exterior is log and in the interior is wonderfully decorated with details like decorative light fixtures and a gorgeous chandelier in the great room overlooking the river. The guest rooms are more... More

Stayed 3 nights and this time we were on the third floor where the view was even better than from the 2nd floor. The room was in excellent condition and service was very good. More

We spent one night at Crooked River Lodge on our way further North. The lodge is very clean and the room was great (King Suite). It is within walking distance to town which we liked. The bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast is the typical toast, bagels, etc found at many chain hotels but does the job. There are balconies... More

As a business owner myself for over 20 year, and in the customer service industry for 20+ years, we were mortified at the unprofessionalism and unexperienced customer service skills that the owner and her son possess, in which is none at all. She does not know how to approach problems and her son who seems to be in his 20's,... More

Spent 3 nights as we were in the area for a family wedding. In total with family 4 rooms were rented. Without even asking we all ended up on the same floor and only a few rooms apart. The rooms were large and clean and we enjoyed the balcony as well. They were very accomodating when we asked for more... More

The lodge was clean, pretty, with large rooms. Loved the lobby and patio. Nice central location for that section of "up north" michigan. I'd definetly stay there again. Didn't find the people behind the desk overly friendly, however they weren't rude either. More

This hotel is nice and clean. They do have pets and children that live or stay there. They are all friendly though. The owner is on site. It is great to support a local business owner in this economy. They are always accommodating. It has a great location with awesome restaurants in the vicinity. More
