Rustic and beautiful surroundings.
Room was spacious and comfortable.
Good options for continental breakfast and coffee, tea and hot chocolate available at anytime.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and so was the rest of the inn. The fire pit was a great place to watch the stars and enjoy the evening. We had a great stay and would definitely stay at Crooked River Inn again.
Great location. Room was clean. Staff was helpful. My son and I took the kayaks out for a spin on the river. Close to Harbor Spring, Petoskey and Mackinaw Island. The breakfast was above the typical hotel food station. There is a fire pit overlooking the river along with a barbeque. Very nice place compared to a couple of other hotels on the way back to Montana.
Our stay at Crooked River Lodge was amazing!!! The pool and hot tub for adults is open 24 hours! Everything is super clean and the staff is super friendly! We loved our stay here and will definitely be back!!!
This is the second time I have stayed at Crooked River Lodge. This establishment offers a lot of activities for guest to do. The grounds has kayaks , row boat, and bikes that you can use. They also have a dock that you could park your own water craft. During the winter they offer snow shoes to use. The game room is amazing. The rooms are very clean with a refrigerator to use. It also is very large with great views. The fire is also nice to sit by with your favorite cocktail. Did I mention they offer iced spring water, different flavors of tea, iced tea “which is amazing”, coffee, and hot chocolate
I definitely suggest staying here.
Very nice property with access to the water. Very nice pool and fire pit. The breakfast however was no better than the Hampton Inn - poor. There's a great bakery in Alanson. Too bad the Crooked River Lodge doesn't take advantage of it .
Cleanliness was important to me. I have a rather severe allergy to dogs and requested a non pet friendly room. Dogs are restricted to the first floor. My room on the second floor was perfect with no hint of dog and a I had no allergy symptoms. No allergy symptoms on the first floor either. I would recommend.
We loved this property! So beautiful and cozy! The fire pit out back, gorgeous lobby and game loft. Very nice rooms, all with the lovely view. Great staff too!
Just a great time - nice lodge feel. Meticulous grounds. Beautiful sunrises along the river. Beds very comfortable. Rooms spacious. Everything clean and well kept. Pool beautiful. Nice fireplace and firpit. Housekeeping exceptional. A few nice choices for breakfast. Just a fabulous place to stay - we'll return.
The staff were very professional and friendly. The lodge and room were clean not crisp. The A/C was loud. The rooms were old and outdated. The property was beautiful and well maintained.
Loved the nature all around the property and the small town vibes. Everyone was super nice and helpful. Loved the balcony to see the sunrise. The pool And hot tub being open 24hours for adults was amazing. So peaceful around the fire pit, made some s'mores. Game/ hangout area was great, felt like being at home in the living room. The room was clean. The only thing was I would have liked to have a microwave in the room. For late night snacks. The breakfast was good, loved the waffles. The ladies kept the breakfast area super stocked up. Would definitely stay again.
Great hotel, clean room, nice hot tub and pool area in the morning; afternoon it's being used as a drinking venue and daycare. Would definitely stay again.
