Clean Rooms, Comfortable Beds. Those are my priority. This motel delivered. This is a travel-lodge style motel that is well maintained and scrupulously clean. It’s a no-frills property (but you came up here for the lakes and forest, anyway, right) with friendly staff and comfortable beds. It’s a good location. It’s a very good value. We knew were getting in late. We called ahead and got an entry code for our room. They left the light on. We got advice about the area and a coupon for breakfast at a very nice local restaurant.

Check in was simple and fast. The owner was very kind and knowledgeable about festivities going on in the area. The property was so nice looking! It’s tucked away in a quiet area of the main road. They have free put-put golf on site and a small playground for kids. (I didn’t pay much attention because we didn’t take our kids, but I think there were swings) I’m not sure why, but we were “upgraded” upon arrival. The room was very spacious! The bed was comfortable, the water was hot, the AC was cold. It was awesome! Only one thing would have made it more comfortable, and that would be either more pillows or thicker pillows. They were pretty flat. My husband and I will definitely stay there again!

Lovely people, lovely stay.

The service was excellent. They were friendly and helpful, and even though I did not find the firm mattress comfortable, they went above and beyond to make it better for me. The maps and pamphlets and recommendations of things to do in the area were much appreciated.

Didn’t have a hairdryer in the room and was told they only put them in premium rooms. Not an issue as they did give us one. Last time we stayed in a regular room and we did have a hairdryer. Nice little motel will stay again.

Stay at this hotel!

Everything was amazing at this hotel. Friendly staff, super clean room, quiet, nice selection of teas, good parking, cute dogs, very welcoming and safe. Highly recommend. Took 5 people with me and stayed in the 4 queen bed lodge and everything was perfect. I have traveled all around Michigan and the world and stayed at castles, the Waldorf, the Ritz and other luxury hotels and this was a wonderful hotel to me and i have incredibly high standards! Thanks for a wonderful stay and so many happy memories!
