Big Winnie Resort and General Store — Hotel in Grand Rapids

Close to two major lakes! Mostly a lovely, cozy RV park with small play area, fireplaces at each site, mature trees with plenty of room to maneuver into your spot. Set back from, but on, Rt. 2, the small General Store carries usual convenience/campground fare, with two busy gas pumps out front. In the same building are separate ladies and gents' facilities with a sink, shower, and toilet stall (key available at the store). Two small, cozy cabins flank the store, facing the dirt roads that lead into the RV sites. Cabins have microwaves, coffee pots, small electric heaters, and bedroom and living room furniture (including pull-out sofa beds) but DO NOT HAVE RUNNING WATER - the only serious drawback to staying in a cabin. Directly across Rt. 2 are active rails for high speed trains (no crossing barriers), and Rt. 2 is used by heavy equipment, large trucks, and major transport moving at high speed, so there's some road noise and a caution to parents with kids under 15. There is fencing but no gates between the camp roads and Rt. 2. Also be aware this place is located on a Native reservation so do honor that, and that it's in the Chippewa National Forest; the wild animals still call it home so be sure to store all food in air tight containers at all times. There's a nice bar/restaurant just southeast of the General Store with big tvs, a pool table, a dining room, and good food in huge portions. A great getaway among friendly folks for any...

Was on a long road trip, with a child and she had to go to the bathroom. Stopped at the store: 1. Restrooms are not marked anywhere. 2. Had to go to the back of the store on the outside to find a restroom(Men's room). 3. Had to get a key. 4. One clerk, six deep at the register and you need a restroom key. 5. Male party got a key, took little girl in there so she could go. 6. Had manager/owner of resort/store come and chew us out because we took her to the Men's room. 7. Restrooms are not handicapped accessible.

WILL NOT EVER stop there again. Everyone was either rude or too busy to help us out. No signage for bathrooms. Nothing is handicapped accessible. My mom couldn't get into the restroom to use it, causing us to have to stop down the road, and she had to change clothing in the bathroom, due to the...

Please look at our website to see our cabins are lovely. They do not have bathrooms inside of these historical cabins, which we clearly state before checking in, however we make up for it with free Wi-Fi, coffee pot, microwave, refrigerator, satellite TV, etc. The restrooms with showers is only a few steps away. And of course the restrooms are locked. LOL. We provide a key to you when you stay in our cabins, and also if your customer on the highway. We have very clearly marked restrooms unless you wander about hoping it’s going to appear in front of you. Please look on our website, news articles, and also call the owners. This way, it dispells false facts. We would be more than happy...
