Baldwin Mench Lake Hotels

"Not knowing the area, we were a little surprised to find the cabin on a busy street and were worried our hopes of a getaway “in the woods” were dashed. However, the hosts have done a fantastic job of making the cabin feel secluded, rustic, and a lovely little haven. There was plenty to do inside, and they provided a ton of information about the surrounding area. They were helpful, fair, and kind. We loved the cabin and will be back!"

"Our room was spacious and clean. Bathroom could use an update - may be time to remove the old telephone hanging on the wall in the bathroom. Otherwise, we would chose this hotel again when coming to Big Rapids."

"This cabin is beautiful! Exceeded our expectations. It must have been renovated recently, and every single thing is new and really lovely. It feels cabin-like but modern. It had everything you’d need, from kitchen/cooking supplies, towels, bedding, laundry. The beds are insanely comfortable. Very private, there were a few other homes close by but still very secluded. I imagine the trees would provide additional privacy when they’re full in the warmer months. Can’t wait to come back in the summer! The only thing to note is the fireplace is not a real flame fireplace. It is electric and produces heat, but just a visual of flames and not real. Not a big deal, but something to note if you’re wanting a real fire. "

"Very nice place, with everything you need!!"

"My wife and I had an amazing weekend stay at the A Frame. The cabin was cozy, had everything we needed, and was so quiet and relaxing. We played games on the table overlooking the river, made all of our meals at the cabin, and enjoyed the color changing lights as we relaxed and talked. We only left the cabin once and that was to hike the Silver Creek Pathway along the Pine River. We would not have changed a thing and hope to come back someday when it is warmer so we can enjoy the fire pit, deck, and hanging out by the river!"

"Amazing place to stay, low key and comfortable "

"Host was quick to respond to my last minute reservation for the following day with suggestions to have the address/map & key code instructions saved since cell service is limited around that area. Appreciated the advice so we could be prepared. Since we arrived during the snowstorm there was concern about the roads/driveway not being plowed but all was passable. The central location between BigM and Caberfae was perfect for our stay with the bonus of Dublin Store minutes away for grabbing snacks. The A-Frame was cozy for the 3 of us. 2 of us slept in the loft and one on the futon.It was pretty warm in the loft from the stove that’s used to heat the A-Frame that I suggest packing a small fan. We made good use of the tiny kitchen. It was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. The limited cell service and no WiFi might discourage some but it was refreshing to disconnect from the algorithms of smart phones. It was so quiet there and the fresh snow made the whole scene picturesque. Will be planning to stay here again "

"Awesome weekend away, we will be back for sure!!!"

" We are from Florida and saw this lovely cabin in Michigan and fantasied about how nice it would be to spend some time in the snow - We were not disappointed and the cabin actually exceeded all of our expectations - Charles was a wonderful host and checked on us to make sure everything was going well with our trip. - Highly recommend this place and will be back..."
