I had a wonderful time during my stay while exploring local attractions. The room was clean and the cozy decor made it feel welcoming. The owners were friendly and accommodating, ensuring I felt right at home. I especially appreciated the convenient location that made it easy to visit the nearby park on Lake Huron and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

i had a wonderful stay at big bear lodge. the owners were super friendly and welcoming, making my trip peaceful and enjoyable. my room was clean, cozy, and perfectly located for my adventures in alpena.

I thoroughly enjoyed the cozy decor and cleanliness of the room. The welcoming atmosphere combined with its convenient location made it easy for us to visit local attractions without difficulty.

A hair dryer would be helpful for convenience.

I had a wonderful stay for 2 nights. The owners were friendly and the room was clean and cozy. The location made it easy to visit the lake and local attractions. I found the bed very comfortable. Great value for the price! 😊

The pool looked great, and we enjoyed some rounds at the nearby golf course. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the friendly staff made our stay even better. Plus, being just a short drive from downtown really helped us explore the area easily.

The only downside was that unlocking the door took longer than I would have liked, which was a bit irritating during our stay.

Cozy, Cozy, Cozy

I felt right at home from the moment I walked into my Queen Room! It had a super cozy vibe with a mini fridge, microwave, and even a charming touch of European biscuits to snack on. The warm and welcoming owners made my stay feel like a family reunion, which is just what I needed!

100% recommend ❤️😊

Perfect for family getaways

The cleaning staff was prompt and thorough each day and the owners were so sweet welcoming making us feel right at home not just a customer. I loved the retro red fridge in the room it was adorable and the complimentary snacks were such a nice touch I mean who doesn’t love free snacks right.

It wasn’t exactly inexpensive but you get what you pay for a cozy comfortable stay.

a heartfelt retreat with warm owners and the best shower experience in Alpena

Clean, cozy, great shower spray.

Nice Stay with Friendly Hosts

Had a chill time here! The owners were super sweet and always around for breakfast chat, which made it feel cozy. The room was small but cute, and I loved the retro fridge. Just wish the bathroom had more shelf space for my stuff. The picnic area was a nice touch too!

Cozy and charming place with friendly owners who genuinely care. Affordable and clean rooms made for a pleasant stay, but the breakfast was a bit hit-or-miss. Parking was also limited, which was slightly inconvenient, yet I left feeling grateful for the experience.

Unexpected charm on the road

The staff welcomed us like family, and the cozy room was a delightful retreat after our long drive. It felt like home away from home—even got a call about my forgotten pillow!

The door lock was a bit finicky, requiring extra time to get it to work during our stay, which became a tad inconvenient.

It was just a well-suited match for a brief visit in Alpena with definitely value for money. The staff were super accommodating and friendly throughout my stay. Make sure to follow the hotel's no smoking policy to avoid extra charges.

great stay but noisy neighbors

Our stay was enjoyable. the lodge was impeccably clean, and the price couldn't be better. The view of the lake from our room added a charming touch to our experience.

We did have some trouble with noise from adjacent rooms during the night.
