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.

4/10 Fair

We had a bad start to our visit. We were unaware that the motel had 2 floors and that our room would be on the second floor. The door to the stairway which was the only access to that floor not easy to find and the stairway was difficult for us to carry our things up (we are both in our early 80s). We also had our dog and taking him out from the second floor especially after dark was another issue. When we got to the room we found about 20+ dying flies on the front windowsills inside. There was no one in the office and so we cleaned them up ourselves. The property is old and not well kept up which probably was responsible for the fly problem. Someone seemed to have treated the area so that the flies were dying but had not followed up to take care of the area. Other than that the room was clean and the bed was clean and comfortable. The weather was warm and so we turned on the air conditioner but it was so noisy we decided not to use it. There may have been breakfast items but my husband couldn’t find anything ready for us and so we decided to go elsewhere for breakfast. The very reasonable price was similar to other motels in the wider area that we stayed in that welcomed pets but the others have been much better cared for. We wouldn’t go to this property again unless it improves a lot.

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.

6/10 Good

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.

We enjoyed our three night stay here. The room was clean. We did some fishing off the dock. It was nice to have a fire pit to use. The front desk was friendly. They have a grill, horseshoes, and some other amenities. We ate at the bar/restaurant a couple times. Its just down the road. Played some Keno. I would stay here again when in the area.

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.

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.

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.

2/10 Poor

This property was just plain odd. Got there and the desk clerk handed us breakfast for the next day - 2 packages of powdered sugar donuts and a couple cans of juice. The room was very small, the wifi was worthless, and the satellite TV kept stopping and starting. There were cords and power strips with too many things plugged in. The toilet made a horrific noise after it flushed. I went to make coffee in the in room pot, and there was a used packet of coffee left in it. There was a baggie with some sugar packets, but no creamer or anything to stir with. The property is old and run down, but the little things that could have made it better weren't done. No hair dryer. The bed was okay, and the refrigerator and microwave were good. The outside area was pleasant and had plenty of room for pets to be walked and there were chairs to sit in, a fire pit, hammock and a corn hole game. However, the location is right off the highway, so it was noisy. I would not recommend this place unless you're desperate and have no other choice.

Clean room. Rustic ambience.

Really enjoyed this place. Great location. What makes it fun is the outdoor area. You can fish off the docks. Take a kayak or canoe out on the lake. Have a campfire. Relax in the hammock. All included..very very cool place. Down the road is Carla's Cozy Inn. Excellent fresh fish. Typical UP friendly atmosphere

It's a rustic Motel in the middle of nowhere. If that's what you're looking for it's great. Clean and quiet and close to side by side trails. Property is really cool, right on a lake. Shower is a little tight if you're tall.
