It say its pet friendly. Plus they write down your credit card number for incidentals yet they don't give an amout they claim they want it open. I don't trust them. We left our room in very good condition. Tiny tiny bathroom. Would not let us leave our dog there while we went to go eat. They say "pet friendly" but are not. So many ridiculous rules. I'll never stay again. I was told right on the lake. Its not you can't even see it. You have to walk across the street through trees and down a path. Lied too about a lot

Very nice and clean motel. Loved the room decorations, very outdoorsy. Lady checking us in was awesome. Unfortunately, we only stayed for 1 night but we managed to catch the sunrise. Beach access is across the street. I would definitely stay here again.

This place was very homey, cute room and they had picnic tables and grills that we could use if we wanted to. They have access to the beach that you can walk to and even had folding chairs that we could borrow if we wanted to. They also have a book in the room with the menus from all of the local eating places. It was great.

Perfect Getaway!

Absolutely Wonderful! The place, staff, rooms, location, etc. Staff was so friendly. Rooms were quaint but cozy, super clean and everything you need. Being dog friendly was a plus for us. The beach access was beautiful! The Only suggestion would be a porta potty by the garbage can on the beach. Otherwise, our new go-to place in the area; Truly, can't wait to go back!!

A retro vibe motel with spacious and well kept rooms. Check in was easy and friendly. The room had nice decor which matched the area vibe. Highly recommend if you are staying in the area and just down the road from the state park.

If you are looking for a downtown 5 star hotel - this is not for you. If you are looking for a 5 Star Upper Peninsula experience- this is it. The room took me back to a time long ago when we did road trips in the family cruiser. Up north cabin feel. Beautiful woodwork. Super comfy Log bed and log dinette. Updated and meticulously clean bath. Kitchenette with everything you need. Coffee pot with starter packs. Ice and hair dryer available at the office. Grounds are cute. Again - Vintage mixed with the new. People are all sweet in the courtyard. We sat outside our room and played dominoes. And the beach. It was a summer day in July. I don’t have to say a word. Just go.. If you love the UP for the total package of its history and beauty- This is for you.
