I've been coming here with a group for cross country skiing for three years. Just back today from our last visit. I second all the good comments already posted. Cheri is a superb cook and host. The comfortable common areas with fireplaces are great after a day of skiing. Don't quite understand why Cheri was so cool to my idea of camping on their lawn if I arrive when they're fully booked, though. :-) 

Business response:

Thank you for your review! You and your group are a highlight of our winter! (but NO camping in the yard 😃)

We had a wonderful weekend at Borchers B&B! Warmth and hospitality beyond compare. Accommodations clean and homey. We rented kayaks Saturday morning and found instructions most helpful and pick-up timely.Thank you, Mark and Cheri for another memorable weekend with friends!

Loved this place! Went with Adventure Quest and had a fabulous time. The breakfast was great, the coffee the best, and the accommodations wonderful.

VERY upset with this canoe place. 1st off they wanted to charge 10 dollars a canoe or kayak for us to launch are own after we had 8 canoes being rented thru them. Sorry but not paying 60 bucks to put my own stuff in the water, second when we were trying to find a spot to launch are stuff they decided to launch my 12 year old daughter off by her self after we requested that they wait until we come down the from the launch up stream. Our entire group felt disrespected and insulted by this canoe place. We have been canoeing dow... read more

Business response:

We are sorry you were upset. We are a canoe & kayak business, not a public boat launch. We charge a fee for private watercraft to launch, with that fee we will also pick up your watercraft with the rentals in your party. We have a lot of customers with their own watercraft who appreciate this service and find it convenient, at a reasonable fee. We did not launch any of the rental watercraft until adults from your party came back from moving vehicles and said everyone was ready to go. We respected our customer’s request to la... read more

You will have a great time exploring the Au Sable river by either kayaking or canoeing. The staff at Borchers are friendly, knowledgable and experienced. And if you want to stay over and explore the town of Grayling stay at Borchers Bed And Breakfast. You won't regret it!
