The room was small but fine for just the 2 of us. It was cleaner than some major chain hotels we’ve stayed at but much more homey.

Super cute and charming room! Felt way more homey than a standard motel. I absolutely loved the complimentary coffee and snacks in the shared cafe space. I only wish I could have stayed longer. I checked in really late, and they were really accommodating and helpful. Highly recommend if you're looking for a well above average motel stay!

Lovely decorated motel. Room was well kept. Very close to Lake Michigan and Torch Lake. Staff was very warm and welcoming. Keep in mind there is no breakfast offered; there is coffee and snacks, although there is a cafe right across the street.

Perfect size cottage for two people. It has everything we needed for our four day stay. The bed was very comfortable, and kitchenette with coffee maker was sufficient. Cindy is a wonderful host.

This place was so clean, the staff was amazing and even checked on us throughout our stay and they have the place stocked with everything you could possibly need! Everything is so cute, the only thing I would say is that having bonfire pits at each cabin would be cool but they do have one outdoor gas grill up by the motel part and they had a little round grill we used for a bonfire at our cabin. But seriously, that’s so small compared to all the wonderful things about it. Plenty of parking, cute vibe all around and so close to both Torch Lake and Grand Traverse Bay (less than 3 mins to each one). Will be back!

Such a great little hotel, conveniently close to Charlevoix. The rooms were clean in and the staff was very accommodating to my needs. They were cabins there as well, along with an outdoor fire ring to sit around. The one thing I wish I would’ve paid attention to in the details Was there was no small refrigerator in the room although they did have an ice machine to buy bags of ice. I would definitely stay there again.

The staff was very friendly. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. Bathroom shower was modern and refreshing. Nice personal touches to the room décor. Nice outdoor sitting areas with outdoor firepit. Coffee, snacks, microwave, refrigerator is available to guests in a separate room at the inn. There is ice, water, soda etc. to purchase if needed. There is a nice restaurant across the street and a little coffee shop. I look forward to visiting again when I'm in the area.
