Throwback Thursday ⏳

Ever wonder why Ga***rd has its iconic Alpine look?Believe it or not, Ga***rd wasn’t always Michigan’s Alpine Village.

Originally a farming and lumber town in the late 1800s, Ga***rd was looking for a way to stand out by the 1950s and 60s. Community leaders saw opportunity in Northern Michigan tourism and winter recreation and wanted something memorable that fit our snowy location.

The inspiration came from what is now Otsego Resort. Back in 1939, the original ski club was built with a beautiful Alpine design inspired by mountain villages in Switzerland and Austria. Years later, local leaders brought that same vision downtown, creating the charming Alpine style we know and love today. Chalet-style buildings, flower boxes, and Alpine architecture became part of Ga***rd’s identity.

Today, that vision lives on throughout downtown Ga***rd and helps make this place feel a little different… a little special.

Staying at Comfort Inn & Suites/MainStay Suites? Take some time to walk downtown, explore the Alpine Village, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy one of Ga***rd’s most unique traditions.

Did you know one of Northern Michigan’s coolest hidden gems is tucked away just north of Ga***rd?

The Sinkhole Lakes in Pigeon River Country are unlike anything else around. Their striking aqua and turquoise water almost looks tropicalbut this is pure Northern Michigan.

These unique lakes were formed thousands of years ago when underground limestone dissolved and collapsed, creating deep, spring-fed sinkholes. Some plunge 30 to 60 feet deep despite being relatively small in size. The result? Crystal-clear blue-green water surrounded by peaceful forest.

Hidden throughout Pigeon River Country, lakes like Lost Lake, Section Four Lake, Devil’s Soup Bowl, and the Twin Lakes make for an unforgettable adventure. Bring hiking shoes, pack a lunch, and spend the day exploring one of Ga***rd’s best-kept secrets.

Then come back and relax at Comfort Inn & Suites/MainStay Suites.
✔️ Clean, modern rooms
✔️ Complimentary breakfast
✔️ Outdoor hot tub open 365 days a year
✔️ Indoor pool
✔️ Exercise room
✔️ Award-winning accommodations
✔️ Two great hotels in one

Adventure all day. Relax all night.
