Great place to stop!

Cute little motel with lovely rooms. Very clean and comfortable. Didn’t meet owners as check-in and continental breakfast are all self service. Food options were adequate. Overall, a great place to stay. Only negative was the shower that was very small. Busy road so kinda noisy in the afternoon.

Cute and cozy

Cute renovated old school motel. Quarters are tight, be warned if you are a group of more than 1 or 2 people. Tiny shower but very clean and very functional setup. Lots of semis and logging trucks all night, pretty close to the highway but we ran the fan on high to give some white noise. Huge backyard area with ATV trail access, great for us traveling with a dog who needed to run after a long car ride!

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff came to my room and wanted me to park my motorcycle on the grass. I will not do that as I am traveling with a trailer and easy to dump the bike over. The staff started to argue with me about that and I asked if I could park infront of the room. He kept arguing with me and said that I could? I had to slam the door on him...NEVER have I had a problem anywhere else Pix can be seen if you want.

It was perfect for a quick place to stay on the way to our vacation. It was clean, has many updates. Easy to find, but not walkable distance to anything and is noisy as it is on the highway, although the room air conditioner drowned out the highway noise.

The room was quaint and cozy. It was a comfortable stay. Lots of areas to walk and explore to enjoy the outdoors. I would book here again if I could. The first time I tried, they were full up, and now I know why.

Looks great from photos. Check in was a basket with envelopes with everyone's names on them, with the room number and key. No one on site. Self serve for extra amenities. Very cramped, kept running into the metal bed frame and legs. Had issue with the TV, the owner came quickly to rectify the problem. Just a strange experience. Don't like everyone knowing who I am and what room I was in.

This little roadside motel was truly a gem. So cute, comfortable and clean. Close to many attractions in the upper peninsula area. We are at a local place named Jack's that was delicious. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer. Would definitely stay here again if we get back that way.

We booked 2 rooms, one of the rooms was not cleaned. Never came in any physical contact with staff, kind of weird, but called the phone number listed on the door and we were taken care of right away and were offended a clean room. Would like to see live staff though.

This little 10 room motel was a treat. Very clean, comfortable bed, easy check in, etc. The bathroom was small but had been updated with a nice shower. A shelf over the toilet is suggested as there was no place to put toiletry bags, toothbrushes, etc. Night light in the bathroom and very good lamps on the nightstands was appreciated. Too many places have poor lighting. There was a nice table with pull out stools that we used to eat a sandwich. Only drawback is the road noise but like others have said turning the fan on helped block that out during the night. I’d stay there again!

We liked basically everything about the room until I woke up and went to take a shower and had no hot water. Did not appreciate having to stand in a cold shower to rinse off. Otherwise everything else was great!
