The Lodge was beautiful, room comfortable, staff very friendly and helpful. Very close to Grafton area bars and restaurants. My on complaint, most hotels have small refrigerators and a microwave. We were there a couple of days and had leftovers from dinner one night. Couldn't warm them up later? ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### James 28 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clarification upon check in We stayed a few months ago and fell in love with the restaurant and extra large hot tub. We booked a room to enjoy them both again but both were closed. We spent an hour round trip to get food over it and sat in room watching some rerun because the hot tub was down. Very disappointed ##### James Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claralyn 26 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful Pere Marquette Beautiful lodge and guest rooms!

Lots of outdoor activities to keep you busy for days. The lodge was fantastic as well. Checkers, chess, connect four, cards, and lots more games to keep you busy. The pool and hot tub were very clean and lots of fun. The restaurant has A-MAZING fried chicken. Seriously, don't we at anything else. The winery is wonderful as well. We took a few bottles home after doing a full tasting of their offerings. The woman who served us the wine was knowledgeable, polite, and lots of fun. Overall, what a great retreat. Pro tip: bring snacks as there are no convenience stores close by. Also bring good hiking shoes. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place to relax and enjoy the great outdoors. The inner lobby is a fun place to people-watch and play board games inside what looks like The Great Hall of some castle. I would suggest hooks on the inside of the bathroom door. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ---
