10/10 Exceptional

This is a reasonably priced basic motel so it doesn’t have a lot of amenities but it does have a well cared for property and is a very clean and comfortable place to spend the night. It was a good place to take our dog with a nice large backyard area. We enjoyed the quick check-in and checkout arrangement which didn’t need in person staff although they were available by phone. Our room didn’t seem to have air conditioning but the evening was cool enough to have windows open. We stayed there last week one night and we were pleased to go back again for another night on our way back home. We would be happy to stay there again.

Quintessential Roadside Motel

Cute little roadside motel. I liked that prior to arrival i received a text message with the door code as they do virtual management and you dont check in at an office. The room was very small, but good for just my husband and i. The room was impeccably clean. Only complaint was the mattress was very firm and the AC didnt keep up, but other than that it was great!
Beth, 1-night trip

Cozy and Clean

We stayed one night with our two dogs. Very clean, thoughtful touches with having an enclosed dog run area with seating, and prompt customer service. Note that there is no staff on site but you do have a phone # for any issues 24/7.

Check in was super easy and a nice, clean room!
Alicia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Nicole, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Nice beds

The service was friendly. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy
Jacob, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

This was a beautiful and comfortable room. It was spacious and smelled lovely. I was surprised to find such a gem in this rather rural area.

Cute, cozy and affordable

I'm so glad I found this place! My room was very cute and cozy. Very clean and comfortable. It was just the basics, but thats all i needed. It was different because they do virtual check ins and dont have staff on-site, but it honesly made this very easy. If anything, update the take-out menus in the room. They were very old and had incorrect information. Loved this place and i will come back if im ever passing through again!
