Great place to stay at. We had no TV. We were told it was cloudy out and there is no tv when that happens. Isn’t that 90% of the year in the upper peninsula.

Vraiment super rapport qualité-prix pour un motel. Les nouveaux propriétaires mettent à disposition des kayaks, bouées, bbq au gaz et un sauna adorable. Ils ont renové toutes les fenêtres et la literie est excellente. Bien sur la cuisine est un peu sommaire et le wifi peu robuste mais l'accès direct au lac est de toute beauté. Je suis absolument enchantée de cette découverte.

Beautiful little spot
we stopped here on our way up from the lower peninsula to porcupine Mountain State Park. Nice little restful spot to chill out on the beach and enjoy the lake and sauna. We loved that there were paddle boards and kayaks available for us to use. Awesome sunset spot.A fire pit available, but we did not use it. but really not too loud or disturbing. Easy check-in. Easy check out. Had what we needed. The cabin that we chose was listed as two rooms with two beds, which technically is accurate, but be aware that one of the beds is located in the main living area with the couch, TV and kitchenette, while the other bed is located in an actual separate bedroom. it wasn’t a problem, just be aware.
