Great location. Pet friendly. On the lake. Kayak's/Canoes to use. Places to hangout outside. Room was good. Beds okay. Bathroom needs a bit of updates but like the funky blue tile. Tip to other travelers, theres no blow dryer and the outlet in bathroom is on the light and its a pull string. Water takes a bit to get hot bit once it does its boiling. Shower is small but doable. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner. They have packets, not good. Manager laid back. You won't be hassled. Might not be overly friendly but check in was easy.

I wish I would have had more time to hang out at the property because it's gorgeous but it was perfect for a quick night's sleep. The bed was very comfortable. The room smelled a little musty but was clean.

Sufficient for road trips

Arrived after office hours but they had printed out my receipt and put it and our room key in an envelope taped to the office door. Thank you! Property had horseshoes, corn hole, chaise loungers for use. It's an old property still in the 60's. But we were there to sleep not get fashion tips.

This was a cute little off the road place but the rustic cuteness that we like for the UP of Michigan. Other than a small leak, where there was a spot of wet carpet, the bed was comfortable. The TV was good and a clean shower was all we needed. Price was fair as well.

A mixed bag

100% honest review here. Office as you walked in, wreaked of marijuana. The young gentlemen appeared to be high. The room at the motel however surprised us, it had knotty pine wood all over and it was extremely clean. It honestly belies the appearance of the outside of the motel. When I drove up, I thought oh, oh, and was a bit worried about the room but it turned out ok. The garbage cans at each end however were filled with trash, couldn't even fit ours in so we left it on top of the garbage cans and this was on Monday morning. So the rooms were nice, but the rest didn't do much for them. A little care to the outside, including lawn cutting would do them wonders.

This property is conveniently located. The check in process was nice and it was a quiet place to settle. The outside area had a nice ambiance with a fire pit, docks, kayaks to use and a place to sit near the water. The beds were comfortable and the room was cozy. There was a mildew/mold smell in the room that was helped by turning the air conditioner on.

I believe they are trying to make it nice. There are yard games available, a rowboat, and chairs by the water. At first glance the room looked Ok. But the bed did not have a top sheet, there was a missing light bulb, the power did not work in the outlet we wanted for charging our devices, and the password for the internet did not work. All easy to correct.
