Hidden Treassure

Our annual trip to Dixon Lake Resort was quiet, peaceful, and just what we needed for a small get-away. Love seeing the continual upgrades that make our stay more pleasant.
D. Eileen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room had been recently remodeled and was in great shape. The room was very clean and quiet. It's not a fancy place but a nice and comfortable place to lodge. It's only a short drive (7 minutes) to downtown Gaylord but still off the beaten track. We enjoyed our time at Dixon Resort and would recommend 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.

Perfect

We had a great stay! Great location and the accommodation were perfect for what we needed. It is a cottage place so keep that in mind. But it was extremely clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again

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.

Rustic cottage with a great view

Quant, rustic old school Upper Michigan lake front cottage.We had work in the area and wanted to get in a little fishing and lake time. Not the Holiday Inn but that's why we chose it

6/10 Good

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.

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.

IRWIN, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Resort has great view of Dixon Lake and is in a quiet area. The resort itself needs some TLC. Electrical outlets are old and don't work well, toilet had minor issue with running. Overall, probably would not recommend

I did forget my Bath & Body Works Bag In the dresser drawer filled with car air freshners . On with my review. Place was clean. Beds were very comfortable. It was very quiet peaceful. THE view of the Lake was beautiful. Walked downstairs to sitting area. Firepit and picnic tables near them.Little boat too was seen. WE do plan on coming again to stay. Loved the Resturants in town also. Great Mexican resturant and breakfest place to. Eat both days downtown.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

2/10 Poor

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.
polly, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

Nope

Not impressed at all. Stairs to the water are dangerous. Shower was dirty. Bathroom smelled like urine. Mattresses need to be thrown out. You can feel the springs digging into your body. Could not even access the water. Never again!
