Rapid River accommodation from NZ$174

Great little hideaway on the lake. Went for a fishing trip with some family and I was in charge of finding a place to stay. Everyone complimented me on the find. Plenty of space for the group in terms of sleeping arrangements and common space for hanging out. Can't wait to book again next year!

The Hillcrest appears to have been a motor inn long ago, but has been refurbished and refreshed with care and an eye for clean, modernized accommodations for customers. The primary colored chairs on the front walkway are cheery and welcoming as are the staff who are extremely friendly and helpful. Huge hanging baskets of healthy, fresh flowers add to the welcoming ambiance. Check-in was a breeze. The location was convenient to area restaurants and an easy drive to other sites on the UP. The inn is located in front of some woodlands where the owners have thoughtfully cleared a walking path for customers. Although we don't travel with pets, they have pet-friendly rooms and an enclosed area for dogs to play and enjoy fresh air. I would definitely recommend staying here and would do so myself if I am in the area again!

We stayed here for a week for our annual family vacation. It was the best time! 10 adults and 6 kids. Ranging in age from 2 to 84! The house was very clean with comfy bedding/ blankets, plenty of towels, & a well stocked kitchen. There were games, beach toys, & plenty of outdoor seating. We loved the kayaks and paddle board and it was so nice to have water shoes and life jackets available to use. Communication with owner was great! Quick reponse and very kind. The sunsets were breathtaking. I'm a little confused how you would sleep 23 in this house, to be honest. There are 3 bedrooms. One small room with a double bed.One decent sized room with a double or queen. One larger room with 3 sets of double/twin bunks. My husband liteally couldn't stop laughing the first night we tried to squeeze into the bottom bunk! He quickly ended up joining some kids on the couch for the entire vacation. Luckily, it was a comfortable couch. Then, upstairs there is a bed in a loft. There is also a very old pull out sofa with a mattress not even the kids would sleep on! It was extremely uncomfortable and it felt like you were laying directly on the metal frame. We made it work, but would have needed an air mattress for any more people. The only other minor thing was the "techy" door handles/locks. We kept getting locked out of the porch and kitchen doors and the code didn't always work. Thankfully, the main door had an actual manual lock and stayed unlocked. Overall, FANTASTIC. We ll be back!
