We stayed here one night in June, we were driving up the coast and just happened upon this spot. The staff member that checked us in was really helpful and gave us a lot of recommendations on how to spend our time in the area in the morning. They set us up with a Razor J's Sand Dune experience and... More

Was photographing the last of the fall color in the Hart, MI area, but there was a massive low pressure storm with lots of rain for a few days. Checked out early Sat. a.m. from another area motel, ready to make the drive back to Chicago when the rain began to unexpectedly clear on 10/20/12. So at about 10 am... More

We went here (2 families) and decided to come back next year as soon as we parked our car. From the entrance all the way to their BBQ yard at the back is very relaxing. The staff are very helpful and courteous. Coffee and Tea are a plus (almost all day fresh). Rooms are are exceptionally clean like a 5... More

The lodge staff were rude, offensive, and treated my friend and me--hard-working, young professionals in our 30's who traveled to Silver Lake for a relaxing weekend--like we were hooligans. Additionally, I would not recommend the place to families looking for a quiet, kids-friendly respite due to the large number of young revelers hanging out in the parking lot and drinking... More

We apologize that you were not happy with your stay at Sierra Sands Family Lodge, and do appreciate your honest feedback. However, we disagree with your portrayal of the area and our property. Silver Lake Sand Dunes is a family destination and offers a lot of great activities for people of all ages, and our property does offer family friendly... More

This past weekend was the worst I have been treated by a hotel in a very long time. After 1 night (that of course they insisted I pre-pay for) we received a call that my girlfriend's grandmother was dying. The staff accused me of lying to get out of a second night (why would I want my trip cut short),... More

We would like thank this guest for his feedback, it is important as a small business is to listen when guests are not satisfied with their experience. This guest is correct in his recount of our payment policy at check in as well as our $50 early departure fee. While we would never question a guests reason for requiring an... More

Trip up the coast with the family and trying to stay and eat at small, locally owned places. As you can imagine in this day and age, it is always "interesting" to come around the final corner and see what you are in for. In this case, you could not ask for anything better. It was old school in layout,... More

We arrived late Friday night and it was nice that the pool was open until 10pm for our girls to swim a bit after the long drive. The pool and hot tub were very nice. There is a great fire pit behind the motel, which is divided from the parking area by large evergreens. We had a fire both Friday... More

Stayed at the Sierra Sands for 3 nights in one of the kids suites, which my 8 year old loved. The room was very clean, and included a mini frig and microwave. Free video game rentals for the kids and their own "privacy area" (half wall) with bunk beds were a plus. The pool is great (large and just deep... More

Wonderful place for a family vacation. This family owned business takes pride in their facility and takes the time to know their guests and provide an excellent experience for the whole family. I only wish the breakfast spread would have been a little better and more filling. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
