Located in Boyne Falls, just south of the charming Lake Michigan harbor town of Petoskey, sits alpine-inspired Mountain Grand Lodge. The decor is Alpine chic — vintage European ski posters, archival ski photos and handpainted floral murals — imagine a Swiss or Austrian version of a Great Wolf Waterpark resort. The Alpine theme continues in the guestrooms, decorated in carved wood furnishings and cuckoo clocks.

There’s a wide selection of onsite eateries, from the Snack Shack, inside Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark, to a large cafeteria and Everett’s Restaurant & Lounge. Located in the main lobby, Everett’s is popular for its breakfast buffet, where you can fuel up before hitting the slopes.

The 220 guestrooms, along with one-, two- and three-bedroom suites, include cable access with 54-inch plasma televisions. Complimentary newspapers, Wi-Fi, coffeemakers and hair dryers, as well as parking, are provided. There’s an onsite coin operated laundry facility, too.
