Our stay was welcoming and clean. Fire pits were lit every night by hotel staff and our lakeside room had a great view of the harbor, Mackinaw Island, and the bridge. We enjoyed our stay.

This Motel exceeded our expectations!! They included many free amenities that surprised us. kayaks & paddleboards to use for free. The staff had fires ready for us on the beach and came around with little goodie bags of smores. Excellent view of the Mackinac Bridge. Definitely will come back!

The staff is very friendly and helpful, it was very clean everywhere on the property, the breakfast had suprising variety and GF options, the view was breathtaking. We had one issue and the owner called me personally to apologize. It was the only motel in the area with no vacancy on our arrival and I can see why. We will 100% stay here again!

We didn’t get a lake view and our room was very, very small. Looks like they stuck the frig and microwave in a corner with no light. Impossible to use in the evening. Over priced for what we got.
