We had a great time. We were up there for a x-country ski week-end and there are a lot of trails in the area. The suite was larger than it looked in the pictures, very clean and it had everything we could possibly need. The gathering lodge is well worth the extra fee and very cozy. We saw a lot of deer on the drive into the lodge - drive carefully!!!

We had an awesome time staying at the lodge. The weather was beautiful and the Salmon fishing was great! It was a perfect getaway and the accomodations were just like home. We are already planning our next weekend:)

We had a truly wonderful time at the Open Acres Lodge. We were celebrating our parents 60th anniversary and had 17 people from 3 months of age to 82 years there together. We were able to meet together and cook in the lodge, we slept well, ate outdoors and had a campfire for singing and s'mores in front of the lodge. The lodge is well kept and well stocked and very clean and comfortable. The owner and caretaker are wonderful to work with. We had fun canoeing on the Pine River, swimming at Lake Mitchell and had an elegant delicious meal at Hermann's European Cafe in Cadillac. A very positive experience. THANK YOU from all of us. Irene

I just wanted to say thank you for helping us make our retreat a great one. We had a blast and the Lord really blessed our time together. In fact we already have guys wanting to sign up for next year's retreat. We have unanimously decided to return next year to Open Acres and I will be contacting you some time in Nov to start the ball rolling. Again thank you for everything, the cabin was awesome. I trust that we left everything in order and all was well with the cabin.
Have a great week and may the Lord bless you. We look forward to talking to you in a few months.

It is a very nice place to stay. Clean, comfortable, quiet. Monica worked with us to change the date that we stayed due to a cancellation and made it worth our while. Would highly recommend staying here.

Open Acres is truly a wonderful place. The pictures do not do it justice. We stayed in one of the loft suites with another couple and had a blast. We came up for the Hoxeyville Music Festival (a great 2 day outdoor music fest with phenomenal talent) and kayaking on the Pine River. We enjoyed hiking on the Open Acre trail, having a bonfire and just sitting in the rocking chairs on the beautiful long pourch. This is a great romantic escape for a couple, fun adventure for a family or a comfy place for friends to meet. We found it pretty funny that with Ron White (very popular comedian from Texas) stayed at Open Acres just a few months ago.

My family rented the entire lodge for a week to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. Having the seperate suites was nice as I have small children that needed quiet to go to sleep-each family could be by themselves, yet get together for meals in the gathering lodge. The yard is also large enough to play volleyball or any other sport you want to play. Very clean as well-We all had a blast and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

This was the most beautiful, private, weekend getaway lodge that I have stayed at. There was so much space and none of the city noise. The only things that we heard were the animals go bump in the night. The view from the porch was spectacular, and not to mention the rooms as well are gorgeous with all the pine. One thing I would recommend is whatever you think you need to bring from home, DON'T! They have everything there that would complete the trip. From bedding, extra towels, paper towels, to kitchen utensils and a bbq. The Sunrise and sunsets were amazing and the Pine River was a blast. I can't wait till there is a break in my schedule and we can go up again. I highly reccommend this lodge to anyone from a party of 2 to 27. Its worth every second of the trip. Thanks again Monica and Rachel!
Love always, Miss Jay

Open Acres Lodge is a wonderful place to get away. The unique set up of the lodge allows for great group gatherings yet also provides plenty of privacy if needed. Very beautiful too! We'll be back for sure.

The lodge exceeded my expectations. Beautiful, clean, great location. I would definitely stay here again. Cell phones did not work, but not a big deal. Monica was very friendly and accommodating. Bring firewood.
