This place was perfect. My son and I went on a golf weekend. It was the best place we could’ve stayed. I loved looking at the lake rather than a parking lot. Everything was perfect. Looking forward to staying there next year.

Living in the past
The location was great . The problem was the add said the room was 700 sq. feet it was about 300 sq. feet. The room needs a total upgrade . Wall sockets wouldn't hold a plug the doors need new handles and were hard to close . The sink and faucets need updating. Everything was old .It was like being in the 50's . The plus side was the tennets were very friendly. I would go back if the upgrades were done.

We are mystified at why anyone could give this more than 2 stars. Room was so musty we had to open windows for a couple of hours. Fridge did not get cold, TV didn’t work, light fixtures were pulled out of exterior walls. Frightening experience. Call the health dept.

Nice property. We arrived late and we were scolded by the owner. Charged our credit card before we even arrived. Probably won’t return due to the rudeness of the owner. Doesn’t deserve our business. Plenty of places to tryout up north.

Not so good, especially for the price.
Not so good. There were earwigs in the bathroom and kitchen. No air-conditioning, and it was quite humid and uncomfortable. The room smelled musty and gave me a headache. It is very dated, and the bathroom is the smallest I've ever seen. The bed sloped to the middle. After the first night we asked in the morning to get our money back for the second night but they wouldn't do it.

We absolutely loved our stay here. We were on our way up to the UP and stopped over for one night, but we’ll definitely stay longer next time. The hosts were very friendly and gave great dinner recommendations. I love retro style hotels and this one was a gem. Exceptionally clean and quite.

My son and I stayed for a long weekend at Dixon Lake Resort in room #3. We absolutely loved our time at this cozy resort. I had my coffee outside every morning, enjoying the beautiful view of the lake. We went kayaking and fished every day we were there (caught a ton of fish). The rooms had a retro style, which we loved, and it had everything we could possibly need, such as: regular sized refrigerator, microwave, stove, sink, coffee pot, tv w/cable, and a tub/shower bathroom. Our hot water wasn't working the first evening, but the owners were extremely quick to fix this issue and it was fixed in a matter of just a couple hours. This place is a true gem, you can't beat the views, the lake is beautiful, and it's so peaceful. We will be back! Thank you for a great weekend.

Great little motel
I love staying at Dixon Lake - I've done so for last 4 years and it is consistently a perfect place for me to stay. It's tucked away in a quiet location, on a beautiful lake. Great for decompressing after a stressful day! Big rooms to accommodate a family, even a dining room table/work space, and plenty of space outside to have BBQ/picnic or play in the lake. It's quaint (1950s/1960s), nothing fancy, this isn't the Ritz, but always clean and always great service. They're so friendly and helpful! Strong Wi-Fi, decently stocked kitchenette, big fridge, and within 10 minutes of downtown Gaylord which has plenty of restaurants and shopping.

A Great decision to come here.
We are so happy we came here. It was cozy, clean and the hosts were so kind. The view was so pretty. We enjoyed the fire at night and the calm of the setting. We are already planning our next stay for summer.
