This house and property was even better than the pictures. There was so much fun to be had that we often cut our adventures short in nearby towns so that we could return to the hot tubs, sauna and game room. There was so much space to spread out for our big group but also, so many spaces very thoughtfully curated for us to spend quality time together. I've rented many properties over the years, and this one blew the rest away. Just superb.

The Lilley Woods Lodge was a wonderful place to stay, packed with tons of great amenities! The hosts were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The location was excellent for access to Crystal Mountain and the surrounding area but you don’t even need to leave the house to have an amazing trip because there is so much to do at the home!

Lilley woods lodge hosted our whole family - 4 young families and grandma and grandpa. Kids had everything they could ever want and more! The swim spa was a game changer! There’s also an incredible game room separate billiards room, and hot tub!. Kids loved the bunk room. We stayed 4 nights, and could not exhaust all the amenities offered. Outstanding kitchen, grill, eating areas. We appreciated and were very impressed with the cleanliness and high end amenities. We had 3 beach outings, close to Frankfort, Crystal Lake and other favorite spots. But plenty to do during down times at the lodge. We plan to return!

Attention to detail! No stone left unturned in this family friendly resort. Plush amenities throughout, a chef's dream kitchen, and a game room for all ages. Highly recommend for two families looking for a week long getaway together. Many hang out rooms so you'll never feel cramped. While we enjoyed the skiing, we looked forward to "returning home" each evening to relax in the hot tub or sauna. Would return!

Perfect location for our Family & Friends ski trip

Outstanding home! Plenty of room for 4 families with kids and had everything we needed… large common areas and kitchen; game room in heated garage; outdoor hot tub and sauna; only a couple minutes to Crystal Mountain. Perfect location for our ski trip. Also owner and property management were both extremely responsive and helpful.

Great weekend get away

Had a group of guys up to enjoy the areas golf courses and breweries, distilleries, very welcoming once we got there we were greeted by guest, the best mis communication was we were not expecting the garage to be fully remodeled. That made it the ultimate hangout spot, it was very spacious and the amenities were great.

Buddies Golf Trip

We had an amazing time staying at the Lilley Woods Lodge. We're a group of 12 middle age men who have been doing a golf trip together since college. This house was perfect for our group...everyone had a bed, there was plenty of space to relax, the game room(s) were fun, the sauna and hot tub were great...it provided a little something for everyone. I'd highly recommend the Lilley Woods Lodge and hope to make it back with my family for our annual ski trip this winter...the kids would love the bunk room.

Wonderful Lodge

My family, consisting of 8 adults and 5 grand children ages 7 and under, had a wonderful time at the Lilley Woods Lodge. The lodge was well stocked with basic supplies, there was good wifi, and there was plenty of room for everyone, even for one family member who had to find a quiet place to "work from home" for a couple of days. There was a large paved driveway for the grandkids to ride their bikes on, and plenty of dry seasoned firewood to enjoy the two fire pits. There is a great beach on Lake Michigan in Elberta that is a short drive away as well as a nice grocery store in Benzonia. If you are looking for a quality place to spend some quality time with your family the Lilley Woods Lodge is the place for you.

Lilly Lodge-Summer Family Get Away

Lilly Lodge is a beautiful home. Our family stay was everything we could have asked for. We had 15 people including children. Our elderly parents stayed in the main level master suite and loved it. The bunk room is fantastic for young families. The property is amazing. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. The kitchen is fully equipped. The full size refrigerator and freezer in the garage accommodated our family needs perfectly. We ventured out to Frankfort beach and St. Ambrose Cellars. I highly recommend the property and look forward to our next stay. Thank you Lilly Lodge!
