The entire property was clean and had the basics needed for a traveler. Steve was very kind and friendly. We had plenty of parking for our truck and boat. The only negative was poor weather for our fishing trip. We would definitely stay again.

Had an Absolutely amazing stay at Steve’s!! Second time I’ve stayed, and it will always be my first choice when in town! I cannot say enough good things about the lodge, amenities and the host themselves! I found the location to be central to all my plans, and conveniently located close to the freeways. Restaurants, stores etc all close by. The hosts go out of their way to give you space but make you feel well received and comfortable! People say “5 stars not enough” But it truly applies here!! Thanks for a great Christmas stay Steve! Truly appreciated!

Great Getaway

Property was well maintained. A long standing group of friends on their 20th annual guys getaway. The place was very nice. It was spacious with ample sleeping and a very bice bathroo. Excellent outdoor area for campfires and throwing the ball around. If we trek towards Detroit again, this will be our stop. Steve - thank you for everything!

Fishing Trip

We stayed for a fishing trip and the place was awesome. You can tell theres alot of memories from hunting and fishing adventures and we got to make our own while staying here. Steve was very accomadating and jumped on any questions or concerns, even divulging some local fishing tips. We really liked the location for our purposes, being within a half hour of multiple boat launches on the Detroit river or Lake Erie all while feeling safe and secure to leave my boat and equipment overnight. Theres a high likely hood we will be back again next year!

Peaceful

This is a great location, local enough to anything we needed yet far enough away to be peaceful and relaxing. This is exactly as pictured, also had great little trails out back to walk our dogs. We enjoyed coffee and lunch on the back patio. We saw three deer one of the morning. I believe the back trials lead to the nature preserve. We didn't see exactly where this connected so we just drove over to Oakwoods Metropark (nature preserve). Highly recommend this park if you are looking for a beautiful place to hike, run, ride a bike, or walk your dogs. This is a great property. If you are looking for a peaceful get away- you found it.
