This was by far the worst stay anywhere. The internet was weak. Opened the door to the room a strong smell of mildew/mold. The property personal had a window open to air out. But was horrible. We went to our friends 60th BD party. Upon returning at 11pm the smell was still there and noticed 4 bottles of water on the table along with a warning stating to not drink the water. They failed the water inspection there was coliform bacteria detected. Plus was unable to take a shower as there was no hot water. Ok let wash up with cold water at the bathroom sink, the sink was discusting. Go to bed and because the room was so light even with the light off. No blackout drapery on the windows only cheap thin plastic mini blinds. So the outdoor porch light had no off switch it was super light in the room. So I got maybe an hour of sleep. I actually went out to my car and slept in that for an hour. Plus to top it all off no microwave and the smallest TV ever. I've been traveling for 50+ years and this by far is the worst stay ever.

This is a hidden gem of a get away. Fresh and clean decor. Great for families with a lot of things to keep everyone and children busy or relax. Amenities are basic and everything works and is clean. Nice people too! We didn’t eat at restaurant due to our timing but was glad it was there since this place is off the beaten path by 30-40 minutes. We would definitely visit again!

Well.... we got the basic cabin which was 2 beds a mini fridge a coffee pot and a lot of bugs. To check in i had to call the number on line and the lady said she put my key to our cabin in the door and left one on the table inside. On my walk to my cabin there was a broken chair that stayed laying in the grass all weekend. I'm not sure if the dirty shower towell I found behind the bathroom door was left there after cleaning or if someone got into my room before I got there and showed since my key was left in the door, Who knows. There were bugs, spiders, beetles, carpenter ant nest in the cabin. Found a huge spider in the bed and bugs on the shower towels, i didnt even want to take a shower in fear that one would fall or crawl on me. Not worth the money

We loved the picturesque views of the river and our bed pillows were very comfortable. There was a cleaning product odor that overpowered the room at first but the room was spotless. We were disappointed that the restaurant was not open.

The resort and cabins were clean and well maintained. When we arrived to check in, there wasn’t anyone there. Finally we reached someone by phone to get access to our lodging. The website said complimentary toiletries, but we only had one small tube of shampoo. No hand soap at all. The WIFI was not reliable and that area has no cell service so it was frustrating. The pool was attractive and clean, but no toilet paper in either men or women’s bathrooms.

We only stayed for one night, so we did not get a chance to experience all of the amenities. Unfortunately, we ran into several issues during our stay.

On Saturday evening around 6:00 PM, we went to the restaurant and were given menus. After a few minutes, we were ready to order, but when the waitress returned, she apologized and told us they were out of everything on the menu. The only option available was the buffet, which was $40 per person.

Our room was a decent size, but it had a very strong mildew smell. We turned on the streaming TV for our son, but the WiFi went out after about 30 minutes. Since we had no cell reception with either Verizon or AT&T, we were unable to call anyone to report the issue.

We also had a problem with the hot water. After letting it run for about 10 minutes, it went from ice cold to barely warm and never improved. As a result, our showers were quick and cold. We checked again early the next morning, and the water situation was the same.

That said, I do think this place has potential, and I may consider giving it another try in the future. The rates were reasonable, and the property seemed like it had a lot to offer. Maybe we just had bad luck during this stay.

The room smelled like a moldy basement, they were out of a lot of food at their restaurant & it wasn’t even busy. None of their vending machines work, the WiFi was down. You have to let the shower run for 20 min just to get lukewarm water. What a nightmare

Weekend Away

We stayed in Cabin 2
- It was for the most part clean. It definitely could have had the cobwebs cleaned from the doorways and parts of the ceiling.
- If you want to get away to “unplug” then this is the cabin for you! Even though they had 3 different options for WiFi connectivity, none of them were stable enough to stay connected!
-Our in and out timing didn’t allow for us to inform that the hot water did not work nor was there gas getting to the fireplace! Thankfully, there was a mini split so we did have a heat source!

Staff upon arrival were very friendly!
We did not use the pool or hot tub.

Lost Arrow is a Hidden Gem

We absolutely love this place. It is a hidden gem and we wish we had known about it decades earlier. We could not get over how beautiful this property is, how millions of stars light up the sky at night, how the Tittabawassee River looks like a mirror. The rooms are comfortable, beautifully Designed and very, very clean. The staff was wonderful and the food in the restaurant was terrific. This is a perfect place for a family vacation, with lots of fun things to do outdoors. It also would be a great place to go to just get away from it all. I highly recommend this place and I cannot wait to come back.

Absolutely Wonderful Stay – Highly Recommend!

We had such a fantastic experience staying here! The cabin was beautiful, clean, and cozy — everything we were hoping for and more. From the moment we arrived, the owner Scott made us feel so welcome, and his staff were some of the kindest and most helpful people we’ve ever encountered.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the attention to detail in the rooms made it feel like a home away from home. You can really tell they care about their guests.

We’ll definitely be back and are already looking forward to our next visit. If you're thinking about booking — do it. You won’t regret it!

Property was taken care of but could use a little more attention. They have a nice setting on the river and a pool but property is slightly neglected.
We had to ask for clean sheets on our bed since the ones we had were stained and had years. Staff was good to come and take care of it for us.
No staff on site after maids left. Four rental at the resort and that included us.
Property has a lot to offer but needs good management to make it work.

Full disclosure would have helped

Using the hotel app I reserved a suite because there was two beds needed. What I got was a go back to the 70s honeymoon suite with a jacuzzi tub enclosed in a window glass the was literally in the middle of the room next to the bed. The toilet was separate. There was an old sofa that I assume was a pull out.
This was NOT the picture I saw on the app when I reserved it. After much discussion we were re-accommodated in a tiny to bed mini room. Very rustic with only a small fridge and a table. The bathroom had a barn style sliding door that was literally next to the beds. The food at the restaurant was better than average for nice places in the city. Smoked prime rib is a winner. We had to ask for everything that the offered, bbq for cooking, wood for the fire pit and they sold ice by the bag. None available just for guests.

Went to eat at restaurant. Everything we ordered wasnr available. The lady who spik6e with us about the inconveniences was very nice tho. We saw on the website there were atvs to rent. We inquired about these at check in desk, also if we were allowed to light firewirjs off. The lady responded with \"im not sure, nobody's ever asked let me find out and call you. I never got that call. I never was instructed on check out instructions. When i went to leave the office was closed i just left keys in room, unable to lock door when leaving, which i felt was unsafe. Overall not happy with this stay and i would nor recommend to anyone.

Very quiet, peaceful and beautiful area. The few staff that were there were very friendly. Would definitely stay here again for a night of quiet and solitude, but would bring a few thing with me for more comfort.
A few things that was missing though. I paid for cabin with gas fireplace and it didn't work and no one was on property to deal with it. There was no blankets other than thin bedspread which meant I had to turn up the heat and would have rather had a real blanket. And there was no real garbage can other than a very tiny one in bathroom. If you need utensils or anything like that you have to get it from the restaurant before it closes.

Water pressure and hot water were lacking. Tub in the cabin would take 2 hours to fill. Not enough hot water. Misleading. The hot tub in the pool house wasn’t working. The grounds were not kept up. Outside fire pit has dirty bird poop covered chairs and trash in the fire pit. Weeds abundant.

We had no hot water at all and could not shower all weekend. The sheets had stains on them and the room had a smell to it so we had to keep the windows open for air. We tried to call the number given to us if we needed anything after hrs but we had no service so we could nit make any calls. During the day when it was open we had to leave for softball tournament and by the time we got back to try to speak to someone abiut the lack of hot water no one was there. The restaurant on site also had nothing on the menue we wanted (apparently they just ooened the week before and were still getting food delivered) but we ended up having to ask what do yiu have that we can order.
