Top Opal Lake Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Gaylord

8/10 Good

"This is my go-to place on annual trips north."

Otsego Resort

8/10 Good

"Had wonderful and quick response from Keith. Brought us a microwave and got the TV fixed. Nice guy."

Alpen Bluffs Outdoor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"10/10! We loved our stay in the cabins. All of the complimentary options kept our kids entertained and busy when we weren’t out and about. We loved the pool and events that were planned. Would 100% go back."

"West View Cabins" on Ostego Lake - Cabin #4 - Waterfront and on Trail 7

10/10 Excellent

"Great little cabin with a wonderful view of the lake. Enjoyed the peacefulness we experienced!"

Downtown Motel

8/10 Good

"Very straightforward check-in process. The room and bed were clean. The walls are a bit thin, so noise carried through and it took me a while to fall asleep. However, considering the price, I was very happy with my stay and would highly recommend this place."

Dixon Lake Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Cute renovated motel rooms. There was a vintage Magic Chef cookstove that had working burners, there were pots and dishes so we could cook our corn on the cob dinner. Quiet, safe location. Only small thing is that there is a window air conditioner, so if you sleep in the bed by the window then it blows all night right on or over you. If the weather is cooler, this would not be relevant. Bathroom is small but everything works including the shower, good water pressure. Great for an overnight stop on a road trip!"

Tru By Hilton Gaylord, MI

"The staff were great got there little early gave us a room. Super clean the pool was great."
