Michillinda Lodge

Great place

We loved the property, so beautiful! Our kids loved the pool and playground and we enjoyed sitting by the Lake with the cool breeze and playing pickle ball in the evenings once the courts were shaded. We also loved the proximity to Duck Lake Beach, our kids enjoyed the two days we went there. It’s also only a 15 min drive into town where there are some really good places to eat and a Walmart and aldi for groceries. We stayed in the annex and its well maintained but showing its age especially in the bathrooms (small sinks that poorly drain) and one of bathrooms laminate floors had some water damage. Our suite had one window unit in the master bedroom and it kept us plenty cool during this heat wave but we couldn’t close the bedroom door or it would get a little stuffy in the other rooms (only matters if your traveling with others and want some privacy). Our bath towels and pool clothes also wouldn’t dry on the hooks (maybe some towel drying rods like they use in England would help) and there wasn’t a great place to hang them outside to dry. We drove into town and did some laundry midway through our trip to freshen up our beach towels and clothes. Overall we would stay here again but probably choose one of the larger cabins for our family of four with a kitchenette but we booked only a couple months before our trip so we were lucky to find something. You can tell the owner takes pride and great care of their property and we really enjoyed our first trip to Michigan.

Good for families because there are lots of free activities on property. Quick walk to the local convenience store- White Duck- and our room at least did not have a TV which was actually nice for the two nights we were there. Had a nice deck overlooking Lake Mich from our room too. The AC units were window units and could have been a little better but it was luckily not super hot out. We were in the Annex building on the second floor with two double beds in the main room and a queen in a separate room.

We were upgraded to a suite with a full kitchen, very well stocked with utensils and all needed for cooking. Also a larger bed and bigger room with spectacular views of the lake. The property has a wide variety of activities for all ages. The suite was very clean and furniture comfortable well maintained. We were there off-season so it was almost a private resort. The access to the lake deck and beach was convenient and easy. Lounges were provided allowing for spectacular views of dunes and the lake. I would highly recommend staying with them.
