Beyond Perfect!
This gem of a motel is beyond perfect! It’s spotless, comfortable, good quality linens and the couple that runs it are the nicest down to earth people you could meet. Nothing fancy but you can just imagine taking a trip back in the 50’s when you pull up to your door. We won’t stay anywhere else unless it’s booked.

Libeling Guest
I should start by saying my boyfriend and I are VERY particular about hotels and had yet to find one we loved in Mackinaw City. Well that was until we found this!! I could not have asked for a better stay. Staff was amazing from the moment we arrived. It has the small mom and pop feel and is truly so cozy! Cleanliness was 10/10. I would recommend any and anyone to stay here.
