Had a wonderful time! The accomodations were great! Everything was neat and clean. The food was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It made you feel like you were a part of their family. The murder/mystery was fantastic! We had a great experience. Will definitely go again! More

I've been organizing a golf group of 12 to 15 golfers for over 20 years and I'm so glad we found Thunder Bay. We use to go to a different resort each year but when we went to Thunder Bay we knew we were at home. Melanie and her staff are 2nd to none and this is coming from someone... More

(I have traveled extensively throughout US, Europe and many other placesand this was one of my favorite trips) The staff is very... More

Saw the Pure Michigan feature; it sounded magical and lived up to its billing. Accomadations were really spacious and comfortable, the grill food excellent. Spent the weekend snowshoeing and exploring; the setting is beautiful and peaceful, the staff wonderfully friendly and accomadating. Breakfast was included and was ample and very tasty. The elk-viewing carriage ride was marvelous; the guide a... More

We enjoyed our stay. Outdated yes, but clean cozy, a roof over our heads, and affordable. Our enjoyment came with the horse drawn sleigh ride (on wheels, not sleigh runners due to a lack of snow) during the night through the woods, cold it was, but blankets were provided for our comfort. We visited the elk refuge, seen a few... More

Saw ad on Pure MI website. Decided to give it a try. Had a fresh snowfall - perfect for a sleigh ride. We did geocaching in the area before our sleigh ride. Food was very good at the grill. People were very nice and friendly. Room was huge. Yes bed spread was loud - but what hotel's aren't - they... More

While I do agree that the rooms could stand an update, our Villa was clean and comfortable. We arrived on Friday night and enjoyed the Fish Fry and on Saturday we loved the Elk viewing carriage ride and the gourmet dinner. The ride through the snowy woods was just beautiful and the elk were majestic. The dinner was well prepared.... More

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed your time here. Murder Mysteries are extremely fun and entertaining and on top of the beautiful fall colors you also get the chance to hear elk bugling during the fall months. More

The rooms were very outdated! Yikes, I felt like I was in 1980! The rooms were filthy! I had to remove the blankets and comforters as there were several white, dried up patches and several stained areas. The blankets and comforters probably hadn't been washed in years. Also, there is not a pool, no Wifi, minimal tv channels and no... More

My husband and I went to the Elk viewing and dinner at Thunder Bay Resort. The ride was wonderful and dinner was very good. It was fun to know about Elk and how they got back to Michigan. A little too much sales for the Elk Antlers supplement.... Rooms outdated More
