This would be our very first trip to this location...

Mcguire's Resort

We stay at Mcguire's in Cadillac Mi. Right on the trail. Reasonable pricing. $76 a night last time we where there. Indoor pool, Awesome bar, great food close to nightlife. Rooms are great and it well kept and clean. All the staff is friendly.

Thanks very much Chilly--Was wondering if you or anyone may know if there are small cottages available on either Lake Mitchell/Lake Cadillac? Based upon what I've seen online the area is beautiful.

lost pines is old and out dated, must have been a great place in the 1970's but not much improvements since then, IMHO it is just a gas and drink place, I would not stay there

I have stayed at LPL once, that was just with the guys and that was in one of there cabins. Rick the owner in nice a little different, his mother is very straight forward and tells it like it is. I would not take my wife there to stay. if I did she would just refuse to go.

Now if you look to do more drinking than riding go to LPL.

I will say I would have loved to see that place in its hay day, or to see someone come in and buy the place and restore it. Its a great location.

By the way the groomer barn is right by Coyote so there trail is normal very nice.

We liked Schmidt Outfitters in Wellston. Caddy is too much for me, some of the other places in the are less than desirable like said above. Never stayed at Coyote but it looks nice when we stopped and ate there. Schmidt Out, has nice cabins & beds. Very pleased with the hospitality and very nice camps. Seemed like good hosts to us. The LP was on the verge of being a dump back in 95, we just stop there to warm up, get coffee & pop. Not a fan of their gas pump either. Booze is out , of course.

I will vouch for Coyote Crossing as well. Been a while since I've stayed there (2002) but the cabins were nice and had lots of hooks to hang gear on. They're a bit on the pricey side (or were, at least) but like many things, you get what you pay for. I would stay again if I could ever get a large enough group to go to warrant getting a cabin.
