Very nice little motel

Pleasantly surprised! Great little motel.

Check in was easy with the information sent via email. The room was cute and clean.
Carol, 1-night trip

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.

8/10 Very good

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

It was a nice little place for a quick weekend get away. Wish I had gotten an updated room though. I would stay here again

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!

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!

Really nice place to stay, would not hesitate to stay again. Clean, comfortable and convenient all with excellent service.
Rick, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This small very reasonably priced motel was given mostly excellent reviews and was listed as pet friendly and we were traveling with a dog. We were excited to see that they also didn’t require an extra payment for our dog so we decided to give it a try. We were really pleased that it lived up to the positive reviews. It is very well cared for, tastefully decorated with nice towels and comfortable beds. Although the rooms are not large they were fine for our needs. They have a nice large area behind the motel and away from the highway for dogs to get some exercise and care for their needs. The motel is right long the main highway and there is some traffic noise but we did not find that to be a problem for us. We slept very well. There were fewer amenities such as no boxed tissues, and only dry creamer in the bedroom and they noted that toothbrushes and toothpaste were not available but those things were not issues for us. Although we prefer to have someone in the office to great us, they have a very good system for checking in and are available by phone to answer questions and help with needs. We would we happy to stay there again especially if we were traveling with our dog.

One of the best stays of our week in the UP. This is a quaint little motel that is well taken care of provided a great night's sleep for my family. Tough to beat the price. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Nice, clean, pet-friendly place. Needs to repare stool, though- it wobbles something terrible.
Shirley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We liked the cabin feel, colorful cute chairs and pretty flowers - it’s dated as expected for the price but very clean and was fine for our late arrival overnight passing through town.
