Nice quiet hotel

I do not usually leave reviews but we stayed here last year and it was a nice place to stay so when we got the chance to go to Keweenaw area again I booked it for this year. It is a older hotel as you can see in the pictures but Carla is super nice and helpful. It is a family business and you can contact Carla if you need anything. The rooms are clean and nice inside and has everything you need. It is a nice quiet pretty setting with the water right across the road. I would definitely recommend staying there, we will when we are in the area again.

Old Timey Roadside Charmer!

What a great little motel! If you've ever felt the tug of nostalgia about staying at a true mom & pop roadside motel like the ones that we used to have in the US, this is the place to stay at! It was like stepping back into the 1970s....except for the flat screen TV....the old wrought-iron bed....the wooden nightstands...dinette table with wooden chairs....this is what I remember hotels along route 66 being like back in the day! Just a few miles from town, and directly across the street from the bay (do NOT MISS sunrise! It was glorious!) this was the perfect way to be secluded in comfort on our road trip tour of the UP. Clean, super reasonable price, quiet, easy to get to....not a single negative to report. Coffee maker, big refrigerator, microwave, all the needs met. Lots of hot water too! This little GEM of a motel is now on my permanent list of where to stay when we are back in the UP! The nightstand even had a PHONE BOOK...talk about a blast from the past! They even provided a box fan for white noise sleeping like a rock! The air conditioner blew cold too. Screen door on entrance so you can sleep with the main door open if you wanted to. Hats off to the owners! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Nice, quiet lake view motel
Janis, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Overpriced for what you get.

When I rate these hotels I always consider the value proposition. In other words does it fit the cost I pay. This room cost more than I typically pay for a 4 star hotel and yet the list of what was classified as a dump is pretty long. For starters the room was sagging towards the woods. That’s right. Not level. So slanted the bathroom door would not stay open. Lawn and weeds growing up everywhere. The outdoor office filled with junk. No electrical outlet in the bathroom. Light switches in odd places. Room furniture coming apart. This was a “dump” to say the least and I could look past some of this if the rate was affordable. But rooms in this area go for $400+ a night so $166 which is what we paid I guess is the bottom end. Just be prepared to sleep at a slant / angle.

Nice location albeit away from town but great view, lots of outdoor seating and small room thoughtfully filled to address all needs.

Not only is Carla one of the sweetest people you will meet, she was also helpful with all my questions regarding dining options to rock hunting. The room was comfy, clean and had so much charm. Thanks for a great stay Carla!

It was a relaxing place to stay. The staff were friendly. It could use some clean up outside, weeding. The bed was great as were the sheets, pillows, blankets.

Great little spot in Baraga

It's a small motor lodge and feels like a small motor lodge, but it's comfortable, has a great view, and is a worthwhile stop for weary travelers.

I liked the convenience of location,,I had two kids to pickup and move on. If you have dogs this is a great place to hang out,, If you are a non dog owner you will not like it, Reasonable price for short lay over

I had a very nice, clean room and it was ready when I arrived. The property is a bit dated but I like the improvements the owners are making. The view of the lake is amazing, and the owners were really nice!!
Garth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Charming but dated!

Great view of the bay, clean and friendly, easy check in, but motel is old and backed up to a hill, floors are unlevel and nothing is plumb in the building. Overall comfortable and a rustic charm but in need of major overhaul.

What a wonderful view from our room of the sunrise. Dog friendly that was nice. There is no restaurant at site even advertisement said there was however Carla had a great list of resturants near by. On recommenday would be to have one dog friendly room with a railing near the 3 steps We appreciated the grab bars near the front door.
