The beds are very comfortable, the TV has lots of channels, the bathroom is spacious with a good size shower, and there's a fridge/freezer and microwave. Outside the room is a seating area, in the front lawn area there are chairs and tables and across the street is the water and a playground area. The location is very convenient, even though it's on a highway- from your room you cannot hear any cars/traffic, there is a very good italian restaurant next door to the inn and an ice cream shop a few blocks down. This is one of the best priced places to stay in the area! Overall, this was a great stay and the owners were the nicest!

I recently stayed at this quaint and charming motel, and was pleasantly surprised by how delightful…read morethe experience was. The property has a cute, welcoming feel, and the complimentary amenities were a nice bonus. What really stood out, though, was the management--friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. They made the stay feel personal and comfortable. The beautiful view from the property was the perfect finishing touch. I would definitely return and recommend it to others looking for a relaxing getaway. Pure Michigan!!

Made the best memories with my family for a 5 day stay. Showers are new, the kitchenette was perfect. Beds were so comfy. Open a window at night and fell asleep to the sound of the lake. Can't wait to get back next year.

Room was perfect. Right across from the beach! Great view from the room. Clean. Very clean. Great rate. Wish they had kings but the rooms are smaller cabin style so they wouldnt even fit.

It's under new management, needs a few repairs, but very, very nice. I would come back here again, or recommend it to anyone who wants a cheap motel stay that isn't too shabby.

We stayed in the condo unit on the end, right on the water. BIGGEST WASTE OF $1300 EVER…read more Customer service is non-existent; management is disorganized and has poor communication. Wifi goes out every ten to fifteen minutes, Management told us to call Internet Service Provider rather than him fixing the problem. Ice cold basement and 80 degree upstairs; Management dismissed this concern. Massive spider problem. I understand that spiders are worse right next to the water but this was an unacceptable level. Management told my Mother In Law to "stop being squeamish". We spent the money ($10 ish?) and time (about an hour) to spray the windows and perimeter of the Condo ourselves and the problem went away. This easily could have, and should have been done by management. Too many other minor problems to name... broken faucets, windows and doors that won't lock, a stove that takes over half an hour to boil water... management blew us off every step of the way. We will not be back, ever. These concerns were brought up AGAIN upon checkout, the deposit was not returned and we were basically told to go screw ourselves.
