Visiting the family cabin and stopped in for lunch. Had a burger and poutine…read more Everything cooked to order, single patty burger was huge and cooked perfectly. First time trying poutine and it was incredible. The fries all by themselves were amazing, but add in the gravy and shaved mozzarella and yummy! The best part for me, a small bagel shop owner, was the owner coming to our table to check in on us. That level of customer service is so valuable and too often overlooked these days. Bravo

If you've ever been to a Five Guys burger place then you know what to expect as it's basically a UP vibe of a Five Guys knockoff that also offers fish dinners. The burger was really good, and i'd say they actually use a better bun then Five Guys but I did have a little problem with the prices. Now before anyone gets on me for mentioning price, I work in food service and don't have a problem paying but $20 dollars for a single cheese burger and fries (tip) is a little pricey in my humble opinion. On this occasion i took my lunch up the road to the rest stop and ate on beach overlooking Lake Michigan. I feel Clyde's overall is a better burger but I'm certainly looking forward to coming back to try the fish sandwich!!

We picked this motel because it was pet friendly. When we got there, the door we thought was an…read moreoffice was a private residence. The sign gave a telephone number to call for motel assistance. I called the number and told the woman that answered that I had a room booked. She told me she had sent me an email with the room number and the code needed to get into the room. After getting inside, we noticed no refrigerator, no microwave and no coffee maker. My socks got filthy on the floor as well. The restaurant that was part of the motel, was closed, permanently, I would guess. The closest restaurant was about 8 miles away. The next morning while trying to get the shower ready, it was apparent that there was no hot water. I have never in my life been to a worst motel. When I sent the woman a text telling her about the lack of hot water, her response was to let it run. We already had tried that and had left. I can't recommend this place, at all. If I could rate it zero stars, I would.

We booked on line and read some of the reviews on their website. They are definitely not true to…read moreour experience. We could not get into our room. They sent the wrong access number. Had to contact and wait in our car or stand in rain waiting for a response. After finally getting into room noticed the bedspread was dirty. Sent a text to see about getting it changed and receiving a hair dryer. When the housekeeper did arrive she was very rude. Basically accused us of dirtying the bedspread. We did not even mention the filth that was under the chair cushion. Yes I look for bedbugs. The restaurant is not open. After arriving home I thought about our experience and I decided to recontact them, I was asked for my email......which I provided. Nothing. Looked up their email and sent my concerns and asked for a reply. 5 days later nothing. I guess a timely response is not required from them, but we had to pay right away and would have been charged if we cancelled too late. Posting this due to the fact I don't want anyone else to have a bad experience. This was the first nights stay of our vacation celebrating our22nd anniversary. Fortunately we didn't let this experience spoil our trip.

This place was just a great as described by others. The cozy log cabin feel was so inviting. Our room was clean and homey - such a pleasure to discover after arriving in the middle of the night. There's a real sense of personal charm - even family members of the owner who run the restaurant next door. So much better than any chain motel we stayed in on our trip. The restaurant serves the UP favorite - pasties. I totally recommend this place for travelers looking for a great deal and a warm atmosphere.

DO NOT let the exterior dissuade you! They are remodeling…read more No issues while we were there. Darren checked us in and he was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! He answered all of our questions, gave us the best restaurants, based on what we were looking for. He was very nice! He really loves his job! I think a raise is a good idea for him . The young lady (sorry, can't remember her name) with long dark hair working Sunday evening was very nice and also answered all of my questions. She said she really does love her job and the owners! My Husband and I feel That's super important as an employee to love your job and the people you work for. She also deserves a raise. The remodeling that's been done so far is VERY NICE! Nice touch with the coffered ceiling tiles! The decor is modern, clean lines and the pictures of Kitich- iti -Kipi & the lighthouse are beautiful! **Maybe add an additional mirror on the big empty wall adjacent to the bathroom. The bed is very comfortable as are the pillows, sheets and blanket! Nice towels too! **I feel that a small hand towel holder to the left of the sink is needed. They provide body wash, lotion, shampoo & conditioner. It's nice to have a blow dryer, iron, ironing board too. There's a small fridge, microwave, Keurig style coffee maker, pods, creamer & sweeteners provided. **Maybe add a light fixture at the coffee bar area (I moved the one from the desk) as there's no light in that area. Possibly provide stirrers at the coffee bar. With the PRIVATE BEACH across the street, my husband and I walked over and walked all along the beach. The second night, we took our camp chairs and cooler and sat listening to the waves and watched the sun go down. The Three Seasons Cafe is right Nextdoor that also has adult beverages. BP gas station just beyond the hotel in walking distance too. The ONLY POOL in town. No hot tub yet. Could use more room outlets. I had my C-Pap, cell phone and lamp. I had to unplug the lamp to plug in the phone and C-Pap. They do provide round the clock coffee & tea in the office. Every morning 6am-11am they provide "To go" breakfast items. Fresh fruit, yogurt, muffins and other items. FREE PARKING!

To my surprise, they have a separate freezer where they keep vegan flavors sold by pints. It's the same producer as their regular ice cream, a company from Wisconsin, and they were the best vegan ice cream I've had. The flavor was peanut buddy. Made from oat cream. I will definitely be looking for their distribution places in metro Detroit. The lady working there was so nice and very accommodating. Amazing parson! My husband also got the regular chocolate flavor, and he also said it was the best he had. This manufacturer just makes a very good ice cream period. There is also a mini golf you can play. We have not tried.

The menu is pretty large, with lots of options for coffee and non-coffee drinkers. The first visit I got a medium iced latte with English toffee syrup. They told me that the medium lattes have two shots of espresso and asked if that was okay - appreciated that check in (and it was definitely okay!). The latte was good, I was hoping for a bit stronger espresso flavor, but it did the trick. Nate got the Yooper latte, which was a s'mores flavored drink that was sweet and delicious. On our next visit, I got an iced coffee with vanilla cold foam, which was so tasty! Nate got a cappuccino that was nicely balanced. The employees we interacted with (younger, students?) were all SUPER polite and friendly. Great customer service! The shop is cute and rustic and they have items for sale like mugs, shirts, stickers, cards, etc. I'll be back!
