I'm actually at the Carla's Inn. It's the nicest roadside motel I've ever been to. The owners are very nice people and made room for me when I needed it. If I ever came back to the area I would definetly stay here again.

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.

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.

When traveling with a dog it's often hard to find a place that approves their admittance, but Bear Paw Inn graciously did and without imposing a ridiculously high fee. The young lady at the desk when we arrived was pleasant, friendly, and very patient with this road-weary traveler who was somewhat confused over whether we'd already been charged (we weren't). We ended up with a VERY clean, exceptionally comfortable room (2 queen beds) that was rustic yet cozy. I would recommend and certainly would return if ever in that area again!
