They didn’t even have our reservation. They don’t serve breakfast anymore but sight says they do. Room smells very musty. Can’t turn on heat, it’s not hooked up.

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.

Great location. Pet friendly. On the lake. Kayak's/Canoes to use. Places to hangout outside. Room was good. Beds okay. Bathroom needs a bit of updates but like the funky blue tile. Tip to other travelers, theres no blow dryer and the outlet in bathroom is on the light and its a pull string. Water takes a bit to get hot bit once it does its boiling. Shower is small but doable. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner. They have packets, not good. Manager laid back. You won't be hassled. Might not be overly friendly but check in was easy.

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.

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.

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.
