Sufficient for road trips

Arrived after office hours but they had printed out my receipt and put it and our room key in an envelope taped to the office door. Thank you! Property had horseshoes, corn hole, chaise loungers for use. It's an old property still in the 60's. But we were there to sleep not get fashion tips.

This was a cute little off the road place but the rustic cuteness that we like for the UP of Michigan. Other than a small leak, where there was a spot of wet carpet, the bed was comfortable. The TV was good and a clean shower was all we needed. Price was fair as well.

A mixed bag

100% honest review here. Office as you walked in, wreaked of marijuana. The young gentlemen appeared to be high. The room at the motel however surprised us, it had knotty pine wood all over and it was extremely clean. It honestly belies the appearance of the outside of the motel. When I drove up, I thought oh, oh, and was a bit worried about the room but it turned out ok. The garbage cans at each end however were filled with trash, couldn't even fit ours in so we left it on top of the garbage cans and this was on Monday morning. So the rooms were nice, but the rest didn't do much for them. A little care to the outside, including lawn cutting would do them wonders.

This property is conveniently located. The check in process was nice and it was a quiet place to settle. The outside area had a nice ambiance with a fire pit, docks, kayaks to use and a place to sit near the water. The beds were comfortable and the room was cozy. There was a mildew/mold smell in the room that was helped by turning the air conditioner on.

I believe they are trying to make it nice. There are yard games available, a rowboat, and chairs by the water. At first glance the room looked Ok. But the bed did not have a top sheet, there was a missing light bulb, the power did not work in the outlet we wanted for charging our devices, and the password for the internet did not work. All easy to correct.

Wow Bear Paw inn

I generally never complain, i have to say there was confusion from the start... disconnected phone number, sounded like my room was in the town of Baraga and not Michigamme, all i wanted was to sleep and shower no more no less. I slept for 5 solid hours and awoke to the owner outside our door tslking about us. Decided i wanted to go to the bathroom and the seat was so loose it was almost a rodeo . Opted for a shower and ran the rotten egg smelling water for ten minutes and it never got warm and ran faucet at same time and no hot water hmmmmm. Thanks so much and who is the red hot chili pepper looking people riplin around in the gravel ??? Thanks for the experience.
