The Lodge was very nice, it was near a wedding we were attending. Bellaire is a nice town as well. They helped with earlier check in which we appreciated. The room was spacious and liked having extra amenities like the kitchen. I really enjoyed the outside deck looking out over the trees and hearing the water in the distance. We didn't use any other amenites but they seemed nice. Thank you.

This was our 2nd time there, and it was another wonderful experience! We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo which was very spacious and comfortable for our family of 5 and our dogs. We loved the cold plunge, sauna, hot tub, and walking into town each day. Even though it’s a small town, the restaurants are great and there are so many nice walking/biking paths.

Spillway Lodges was a great midweek buy for us! We did one of the studio queen rooms and it looked just like the pictures on the website. Room was clean and ready for our 3 day stay in Bellaire MI. Room had a full kitchen with all necessities which was great for my wife and I as an alternative to eating out. There was a little grocery store right down the road that had all the food that we are used to eating at home. We took advantage of the provided entertainment areas on the property. Used the putting green daily, played bag toss, walked the old railroad bridge & trail that cuts through the property. We had 3 deer visit the back of our building minutes after checking in so we thought that was good sign for our mini vacation. Only drawback for us... there was no parking for a truck and trailer/boat combo. We were told the boat would have to be left a few blocks away in a community lot which was not something we wanted to do. Overall, very impressed at the midweek summer price we paid for the overall quality of this property. We will definitely go back at some point!

Beautiful & very clean suite! They thought of everything we might need right down to umbrellas in case it rained!
The community where it’s located had some of the nicest people you could meet & some nice little shops.
We would definitely stay there again!
