Testimonials
What people are saying
“RUSTIC WINTER RESPITE”
A hidden gem in a remote Northeastern Michigan location. Sit back and relax on a horse drawn sleigh ride through the woods with a hot drink you can purchase prior to the start of the ride. As you travel through the woods, a knowledgeable staff member (we were lucky to have Jack) will talk about the Elk, other types of animals in the area, and the history of the resort. Once you arrive at the cabin, you are wined and dined, the Chef (Spencer) and the staff will make you feel at home and ensure you have an excellent experience. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. If you have a distance to travel, you can stay the night in a clean room with many amenities including cross-country skiing. This is an event everyone needs to experience.

Worth the Drive
Easy Access
Located in beautiful northeast Michigan, Thunder Bay Resort is an easy drive to Mackinac or Alpena, where additional Area Attractions await. Many of our guests drive up to 5 hours to enjoy a weekend “Up North” to get away from it all. Golf, relax, or take advantage of our 350 acres of pristine forest trails along the Thunder Bay River and breathe the fresh air.
