What guests say
9.2 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 136 guest reviews
Square Rigger Lodge earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently delighting in its private Lake Michigan beach, stunning water views, and warm, knowledgeable staff. The attached café is a highlight when open, though off-season closures and noisy air conditioning units are recurring minor frustrations. Ongoing room renovations and a lack of in-room microwaves are worth noting, but the vast majority of guests leave eager to return.
