Top Grayling Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Grayling

8/10 Good

"No elevator, be prepared"

Come take a walk in our woods......

10/10 Excellent

"Such an amazing property! It was so clean and comfortable, and the solitude of the woods and trail were very peaceful. All of the creature comforts were well taken care of, and the atmosphere was very warm and comforting. I’m looking forward to returning as soon as possible."

Pet Friendly Room 22 Queen Suite-Woodland Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This spot easily ranks as one of my favorite places I've ever stayed. The room was spotless and featured clever, creative touches like mason jar light fixtures. There were plates, bowls & silverware in the room. It was peaceful both inside and out, offering total silence from neighboring rooms. The property featured multiple well-equipped campfire and outdoor cooking areas complete with seating, firewood & grilling tools, plus lawn games like cornhole and ladder ball. Nestled in a quiet area surrounded by trees that made it feel remote. I would definitely stay again given the opportunity."

Newly remodeled 3 Bedroom Cabin on the beautiful upper AuSable River

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great location right on the river. We launched our kayaks from here and paddled to City Park. It was about 6 river miles and 3 hours. The home is recently redone, everything is clean and comfortable. The only downside is that the Military Base was very active during our stay and low flying helicopters crossed over head 5-6 times per day, including one at 3:30am."

Ausable River waterfront 4-bed house in Grayling w/dock, patio, firepit, garage.

10/10 Excellent

"The property was great for our group and we loved looking at the old photo of the house and learning about the history of the building and the dam. The sound of the river, the picturesque views from the house, and the proximity to the water for swimming were just what we wanted.Somer was very responsive whenever we had questions."
