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.

This property is conveniently located. The check in process was nice and it was a quiet place to settle. The outside area had a nice ambiance with a fire pit, docks, kayaks to use and a place to sit near the water. The beds were comfortable and the room was cozy. There was a mildew/mold smell in the room that was helped by turning the air conditioner on.

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.

Quaint and comfy
Rm was what to expect from a small independent hotel. It was dated but clean and comfortable as any motel Could use more electric plugs. Don’t know how to travel without our electronics!

I believe they are trying to make it nice. There are yard games available, a rowboat, and chairs by the water. At first glance the room looked Ok. But the bed did not have a top sheet, there was a missing light bulb, the power did not work in the outlet we wanted for charging our devices, and the password for the internet did not work. All easy to correct.

Toilet didn’t work! And it smelled and was stained. No hot water. Internet password listed didn’t work. No one on the property to complain to.
