Our hostess Maddie was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this traditional "Up-North" family run Inn.

Neat little 12 room motel outside of Elk Rapids. Had a lovely shaded green area with firepits, grill, and seating. We enjoyed our stay.

Robin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We arrived at the Elk Rapids Lakeshore Inn in the evening and it was so quaint. We walked to the beach around dusk, about a block away through the trees and sat on the beach - it was beautiful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We’d stay here again!
Cute seating area on the property.
View from the beach.
Walkway to the beach.
Joselle, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What a great find! Convenient to Traverse Bay & Elk Rapids. Love the 60s vibe! Cozy room, but updated to 2025 amenities. Wonderful fire pit area to unwind at night. Walking distance to beach. We will be back!

This is a old school motel that has been renovated. Very comfortable bed. Noisy A/C.
Ronald, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice motel with good scenery and good coffee in the office in the morning if somebody is there. The in room coffee was standard hotel issue. Heat didn't work at first but the desk person reset it and then it was OK. Large outdoor firepit with chairs and I think they had wood. Peaceful and quiet.
Susanna, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean, upgraded, well maintained, good service
J. David, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The bed and pillows were great. It is very clean and freshly painted. The common area with fire pits and chairs was near immaculate with plenty of split firewood available. It is a quiet and pretty private little walk to a private beach. You need water shoes to walk out in the bay but it is very clean. Not a lot of shampoo and soap but you can ask for more. There is a number by the microwave you can text if you want anything. There is no vending or ice machine but the little refrigerator works great and is very clean. We enjoyed our stay very much.

6/10 Okay

Requested the receipt several times. Front desk said they were going to email it and still haven’t received it.
Caroline, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Over all the stay was good! Cute little place! Love that they had a firepit, and bbq grill.The private beach was cute, but due to the amount of rocks at the shore line and in the water we were only able to dip our feet, not swim there, only real issue we had while there, was the toilet( when we first got there we noticed old water damage around the toilet area, no biggie) toilet seemed to still be working fine.On the morning day of check out the toilet just stopped working...walked down to office they were closed called the number on door a few times. No luck! So we just left...but honestly other then the toilet issues everything else was nice! Very peaceful!

10/10 Excellent

Cost effective, clean, and cute!

This was such a cute quaint stay! We came up north to ski at Shanty/Schuss and were looking or a cost-effective place to crash for the night and this was the perfect spot! We were warmly greeted by name at 9:30pm when we arrived. The room was clean and comfortable and close to a cute downtown where we could grab coffee and breakfast. We highly recommend staying here!

We liked it very well. Good beds. Quiet and pretty property.
Denise M., 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

This property started out okay until we took a shower and noticed the water would not drain out, then the next night the toilet would not flush and when you tried to flush the sink would gurgle and water would come up out of the shower floor drain. The layout wasn't the best, but it was workable. They also didn't really have room to put your suitcase or clothing.
