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.

We booked 2 rooms, one of the rooms was not cleaned. Never came in any physical contact with staff, kind of weird, but called the phone number listed on the door and we were taken care of right away and were offended a clean room. Would like to see live staff though.

We liked basically everything about the room until I woke up and went to take a shower and had no hot water. Did not appreciate having to stand in a cold shower to rinse off. Otherwise everything else was great!

This little 10 room motel was a treat. Very clean, comfortable bed, easy check in, etc. The bathroom was small but had been updated with a nice shower. A shelf over the toilet is suggested as there was no place to put toiletry bags, toothbrushes, etc. Night light in the bathroom and very good lamps on the nightstands was appreciated. Too many places have poor lighting. There was a nice table with pull out stools that we used to eat a sandwich. Only drawback is the road noise but like others have said turning the fan on helped block that out during the night. I’d stay there again!
