"We've stayed at the cherry tree inn multiple times. The last time was in 2024. This time it seems like the property is run down and needs a little refresh. I know they just went through a renovation in 2020 or 2021 but that was 5 to 6 years ago and it really seems run down. The staff is always pleasant and nice."

Great Wolf Lodge Traverse City

10/10 Excellent
"The pool was awesome, huge hot tub and the kids loved it. The parking situation is a little weird though because you need wristbands in order to get in and out, otherwise you have to pay 20 dollars. We had someone in our party come late so at 1 am I had to wake-up and walk outside of the gate to hand them their wristband in order for them to get in. A few minutes after that while at the front desk, I heard on the employee radio that I was a suspicious person for doing so. So thats fun. Overall though it was an exciting stay for the kids"
