“My husband and I needed a place to spend the night on a cold, wintry evening drive from Marquette to Traverse City. There’s not much open this time of year, but even if there were, it’s hard to imagine finding a place as welcoming and charming as this! Room was large and quiet, view out back lovely in the snow, breakfast ample, desk staff very helpful. Highly recommend! ”

“Stafford's River Lodge is family-friendly with a homey feel. They offer free popcorn, hot chocolate, and items to borrow for playing in the snow. The great room is beautiful with a huge fireplace and comfy seating. Breakfast was delicious and had all that one would expect.”

“Food for breakfast delicious, enjoyed the outside fireplace, took a nature walk, got to see the guest house with our friends.The pool and whirlpool looked so inviting.The decor was so cool and fitting.”
