Top Rat Lake Hotel Reviews
Paradise Beach Resort
8/10 Good
"Everything is clean comfortable and fully functional. Great grocery nearby, great food and chill atmosphere in town. We were fortunate enough to witness an eagle spear a fish out of the lake right in front of us, minutes after we arrived. Beautiful AuSable river nearby. Very good birdwatching at the lighthouse just down the beach. Excellent “Up North “ experience."
Lumber Jack Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel
8/10 Good
"Had a great stay for a week at this hotel. Definitely a step up from the hotel behind it, and the location on Cook Road is nicely surrounded by various food and shopping options. The two double bed room was very spacious and the bathroom was nice, however I felt the bathroom did not have sufficient ventilation and the use of a sliding barn door on the bathroom was a bit lacking in the privacy department. The microwave being located outside of the room is a bit inconvenient, but it ended up being very close to my room. The refrigerator did not seem to get particularly cold. Staff were excellent, very helpful and kind. The pool area was clean and served as a great area to host my friends. Additionally, the rooms with balconies that come out to that area are a neat concept. The smoking gazebo is nice as a smoker, but I would appreciate a couple more being added as groups of people were occupying it at times throughout the day as a hang out spot (valid as it’s a nice spot to be.) Also some guy dropped an onion slice in there and left it (not valid.) The only major negative experience I had was when the water went out unexpectedly for a full day, That was very inconvenient as I was not able to shower, use the toilet or brush my teeth for a full day. I’m willing to consider it a fluke, but I was disappointed that it took so long to resolve. I will still happily stay at this hotel again in the future."
AuSable Valley Inn
2/10 Terrible
"Don't believe the good reviews. The hotel is in need of new management. My room was a 2-queen-bed room. The floor of the bathroom was dirty. I could feel it when I walked on it in my bare feet. The bath towel for preventing water on the floor was dirty. I could literally see the dirty footprints of the previous user. The wall had repairs on every wall and was just repaired with joint compound and not painted. The curtains were falling down, and from the outside of the building, when you looked closer, you could see that all the rooms had the curtains falling and deteriorating. The bathtub had somebody else's hair in the drain. Do not stay here. This owner should sell and allow someone else to come in and refurbish the place. Although it may already be too far gone. My companion had a room with a king-size bed, and their room was just as bad, with patches on the walls. No shampoo. Curtains falling down."

Tri Terrace Motel
8/10 Good
"Day is perfectly good for a motel that you get for the night not much better than that. The very comfortable bed was very comfortable. The lady who checked us in was extremely nice."
Clear Lake Resort
10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved this cabin. Very cozy. Loved being right by the lake. The cabin is small, but the space is used very efficiently. It was very clean and well kept. I would definitely stay here again. "
