Its a decent hotel. Quiet, mostly clean. Needed to be cleaned behind the bedside table (popcorn and dirty) bedding is older and threadbare in spots. It was comfortable nonetheless. Convenient having a restaurant too. Food there is good, wait staff are friendly and attentive.

Last minute stay, Expedia listing was accurate and affordable. Hotel is situated on a lovely small lake with beautiful view. Room was spacious and clean. Continental breakfast was perfect for what we needed. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay again during snowmobile season.

Everything was great, especially loved the outdoor fire pit and surrounding area! Staff was very, friendly and helpful! The only negative was that my friend is disabled, so it would've been better if we had been on the first floor, but not your fault, as when I made the reservation, I n3glected to mention it! Next time! I also apologize for forgetting to leave a tip for the housekeeping staff.😒 All in all, it was a great stay!😊

Everything was good except we had a room on the second floor and there was no elevator. The stairs were long and kind of scary. The restaurant and bar at the motel were great. Food very good. Breakfast was good at the motel.

Ok for short stay. There is a lovely Great room but the refrigerator in the corner makes so much noise we retreated back to our room. Needs to be replaced. You would probably safe money 👍.

Beautiful lake, great fishing and you can use their pedal boat/canoe/rowing boat. It can get a bit loud in the later afternoon with bar and patio outside plus ATVs but we weren't inside too much. Rooms are updated, nice lake view if you don't expect anything fancy you'll be good
