Room was clean, decor was simple and on theme, bed and pillows were good, but not great. Wood for the fire pits didn’t seem to burn well. We had breakfast at the restaurant and it was tasty and filling! Overall, a good stay.

A hidden gold mine. Beautiful area. Quiet. The pet friendly cabins have an enclosed area for your pet. Easy to check in and check out. We will definitely return, it was central to going in any direction for points of interest. And the restaurant?! Absolutely amazing!

We stayed in a cabin close to the road and we were a bit worried about the noise as both my husband and me are light sleepers. But we were surprised to have slept soundly that night. The bed was comfortable, sheets and towels clean, but the water has a bit of smell being a deep well sourced. They have a restaurant that served great food and ton of options. We loved our breakfast and wouldn't mind staying there again if we ever make a trip in the area.

The place has a special ambiance, the cabin names are perfect for people with kids. It’s important to remember that these are like little cabins and not the type of room you might expect from the big hotel chains. Their price is very competitive for what you get. Unfortunately we had to leave before the restaurant opened in the morning. So I can’t comment on the food that was offered. If I’m ever in the Alpena area again I will try to book with them first.

Great breakfast for purchase. Beds small and uncomfortable. Not a great check in process because hotels.com did not share email info but the lady upon entering the building was unaccommodating

Room was clean and had was I needed. Nothing fancy but great room for the price. Easy to see from the lake and well marked on US 23. Boat ramp was located fairly close by and the grounds were well maintained even before peak season. Stephen was helpful in pointing out the area and gave me some Long Lake fishing tips.

Charming quaint accommodations directly on beautiful Long Lake property. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Especially Eric. There is a delicious restaurant and ice cream shop on the property making it very convenient. There are chairs and a campfire pit near the lake. It was great at night. There are a couple of boat docks and swimmable water. I would highly recommend staying here.

The cabins are adorable, and very clean. Staff is super friendly, and accommodating. Looking forward to booking time in the Summer, to enjoy the beach on the property and the Restaurant. I liked the privacy, and serenity taking my Mom break. Hoping to have my class reunion at The Parker, that would be a blast. Thank You The Parker! 😁

Cute place but when we got there my code did not work and there wasn’t a registration desk or a person working. Luckily, the restaurant chef came and helped get it straightened out by calling someone to get a new code. Did not like the aspect that there was no representative onsite. Was very clean.
