Batcke's Baldwin Creek Lodge and Guide Service

My spouse and I are from Canada and we were travelling through. We looked up this place to stay a couple of days before we got there. I spoke with the owner Mike B. He made everything very easy and once we got there easy to find, checking in was as simple as punching in a code for our room. To our surprise based on the fact this is a fishing/hunting lodge, the room was amazing! Perfectly clean, awesome decor again fishing theme, but very well done, and very comfortable. I seen Mike owner the next day and told him that I really liked the room. We began talking and he told me about these wonderful trails, folk music in town, rivers, etc… So my partner and I decided to stay another night she loved the place more than I did. We met the room cleaner on the first morning and she was a delightful person to speak with. Long story short, I am getting my “non-resident fishing license” for Michigan State and coming back to Baldwin Creek Lodge. Rooms: Very clean and nice outdoorsy rustic decor. Nearby activities: Live folk music, trails and trails, amazing rivers, antique shop, historic sites and a very friendly community. Noteworthy details: Easy checkin. I loved the grounds, especially the bridge located on the ppty crossing the creek.

Great location near Pere Marquette river. Check in was easy. We stayed in unit 11 which is connected to unit 10 by a common area with a table and chairs. Perfect for preparing meals. Room was small but had everything we needed including fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Nearby activities: Good base for fishing trip.

My two friends and I stayed at Baldwin Creek Lodge for a two day motorcycling trip, and we found the place awesome. The staff is great and the beds are so comfortable that I felt like I was in my bed at home. I forgot to unplug my battery bank, and the staff/owners reached back out to me and even mailed it to me. Outstanding customer service! Absolutely would recommend this place for anyone coming to Baldwin for Fishing/Biking whatever!

This owner of Lodge truly is out just for your money! I was trying to kayaking and had alot of people that decided to go the last minute so they were going to carry all of our kayaks for our one year. I was trying to find a hotel to take us at 9 pm at night no luck. I call this place and he gives me two rooms great deal so I gave him my info to book them. He didn't tell me that it'd be non-refundable if I decide not to come. 2 hours later I need to cancel. Friend trailer didn't have lights so he decided not to come. That was half our group so I called him to cancel, I asked him if he couldn't to call me back and us 5 would just come stay in the lodge. He never called back I tried calling him back and he didn't answer the phone. Monday came and I got email he took my 140.00!!! If he would have told me I would have came and stayed even if he would have fined me I would have understood but to take my money and don't bother calling or answer phone when I call you!! That owner is crooked beware people!
