Testimonials from our Happy Customers
“Dear Robin & Laurie, We had a great time last weekend! We can’t thank you enough for your generosity! We loved Presque Isle! Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day. We climbed the old light house, visited the quarry, went to the potato fest craft show, and bought apple cider at Knaebe’s Mmmuchy Krunchy Apple Farm and Cider Mill (and I did all the driving…missed six deer). But, by far the Lodge was the best of all. Breakfast was GOOD! (I loved having Robin cook for me). Steve was a gracious host and fun to talk to. It was the best 2nd honeymoose we have ever had! Thanks once again.”
“Thanks again for letting me & my crew stay at the lodge. We had a wonderful time, and they all loved the place! Thanks for the awesome breakfast, bonfires, etc. It was great!”
“Wow – This is late I know ! Its hard to believe Aryn is now married and living in Everett, WA! After their honeymoon up in the U.P., they came to Lansing, packed the U-Haul & moved across the country. Last weekend they flew back to Lansing for the reception for family & friends here. It was a whirlwind trip. Tim’s mother put together a masterpiece video from start to finish that I would love to show you sometime! It highlights the lodge inside & out and is a wonderful reminder of the memorable celebration. This note is to thank you for your making all of it happen! My mother was a witness to all that unsurpassed past, present & future. Few weddings are so special! Gary was able to give a short history of Presque Isle & the lodge at the reception so others could sense our “awe”. I heard many compliments on the lodge – both my in-laws (Tim’s family) and Gary & I & friends were pleased with our rooms and the delicious breakfast provided. It was a perfect way to centralize everything for the 2 nights & 2 days up to and following the wedding. Also it was an ideal place for the reception! Your generosity was greatly appreciated! Have a great winter! “
“Dear Laurie & Robin, Thanks for a great stay and a wonderful breakfast. I’ve got the bug!, everytime I see a moose I want to buy it and send it up north.”
“Dear Robin, We had a wonderful stay at the Presque Lodge while we were “up north” to celebrate Mom & Dad’s anniversary!! Thanks so much for your warm hospitality and all your efforts to help Bill out with the car. He sure appreciate your thoughtfulness. Thanks again- we look forward to staying at P.I. Lodge next time we’re in Alpena.”
“Thank you for the gifts, it was very kind of you and your wife. Thank you for letting us use the lodge for the weekend of my wedding. It meant alot to my husband and I to have our whole family together. “
“Our Basket Guild had a delightful stay at the Presque Isle Lodge. Thank you for making all the arrangements for us to have such a relaxing week-end. We enjoyed the quiet, the unique furniture, the porch, breakfast and the very comfortable beds. We hope to make it a yearly retreat. “
