Great little winery. Family owned so be ready to chat a bit if it’s slow. They have an excellent semi-dry white, Frontenac Gris, and I really liked the semi-dry red, Tip of the Mitt 🍷

We reserved a handicap accessible room and there was no walk-in shower. It was a tall tub with grab bars. The beds were also at a height that was not easy to get up into/ handicap accessible at all.

Dinner at the Alanson Depot was excellent.

Great place to stay if your looking for a northern lodge experience. Twenty acres along Crooked River with trails and kayaks to use. Large fire pit in back of lodge which faces river. Easy drive to several northern attractions. Reasonably priced.

5/5 - Excellent

Alanson has quite a few dining options now, as well as a Subway and a Dairy Queen. It’s not far to a big grocery store. Petoskey is the next city for fun shopping and beautiful scenery, and fun eateries.
