Soaring Eagle Resort, Mt Pleasant, MI

This resort is about 3 hours from my house. We go there every year for our anniversary. Before the resort was built we used to go and stay at small motels nearby, but now we stay in their lavish rooms. We have stayed in the first class rooms to the deluxe rooms but find we like the jacuzzi room the best. Since the resort is on an Indian Reservation the whole place is decorated in the Native American style. It is so beautiful. The beds are so comfortable and the jacuzzi is just the best. We play all the slots, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. Mostly we lose. We have fun though. We do, however, usually get enough comps on our players card to eat at the fancy restaurants at the resort. They have a buffet with all you can eat type stuff. It's ok, but the meals at the Steakhouse and the Water Lily are to die for. We will usually sit for about 3 hours just eating and talking and enjoying the atmosphere. The bar in the Water Lily serves the best nachos loaded with all the goodies. Very tasty.
At the beginning of this year they started sending me postcards telling me to come and stay from Sunday through Thursday for free. This month I called them to take them up on their offer. They didn't have any more free rooms left but for the cost of 84.00 I got to upgrade to the jacuzzi suite. Would have been nice to stay for 5 days but we only stayed for 2.
This pic is a view from our room last year. They have a swimming pool, lap pool and spa too. Very nice place.
