Carrie, 2-night trip

Carol, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This adorable mom&pop operation was a really lovely place to stay. It reminded me of the trips my family used to take in the 1970's and 1980's. The beds were very comfortable and the little kitchenette had everything we needed. Clean and cozy and cute as can be.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

Grace, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This place exceeded my expectations- it was such a cute mom/pop spot. The fridge and microwave both worked great, good selection of channels on the tv. The room was a little on the small side but very clean. My kids were a little bummed the playground was disassembled but they had the beach and park right across the road to make up for it!
Heath, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very quaint place with modern amenities. Mom-and-pop motel, locally owned, and well maintained. Owners and managers pay attention to every detail of the property, inside the rooms and outside. Very pleasant experience. Will definitely visit again!
Shiu, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

It was exact like it was described and captured in photos on Expedia. It’s a nice, clean, comfortable, roadside motel. The owners were super friendly and every have us great suggestions for dinner. We would stay here again.
Jeffery, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This charming “Mom & Pop” motel is older but well maintained and very clean. Our room was small with 2 double beds. Very friendly greeting and efficient check in. Parked right by our door, had an actual key for the room. Air conditioner worked well, lots of towels. Walked to the restaurant next door. Excellent dinner with view of Lake Huron.
Judy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Cute retro Ma and Pop lodge. Very clean and quiet. Friendly staff. Housekeeping came everyday and tidied up, replenished toiletries. Beach across the street was clean. Mexican restaurant across street was good not great. Lodge could use some updates or just a handy man to repair a few things. Chairs were a little wobbly, gutters need cleaned out, etc. water pressure wasn’t the greatest. Overall, we’d stay there again.
Argiro, 3-night trip

Great Place to Stay

Great place to stay. Warm hospitality from the owners along with a nice experience with the overall quality and stay.
Thomas, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Good location, quiet, affordable. Property needs updating. Blown fuse when using hair dryer and ac at same time. Bathroom small and insufficient water pressure for toilet. Old property needs refurbishing!
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very family oriented. Owners are so kind & generous & always there to lend a helping hand no matter what time of the day or night. This was our 2nd stay here & there will be many more stays at this motel. Beautiful views of Lake Huron just across the street.

Quiet snd peaceful.
Roger, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The motel was clean but outdated. Dark paint on the wall and dark window curtains makes the room feel closed in.

Will stay here again. Not sure what the he area might be like at summers peak, but quiet in late spring
Sandy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This property is small but, well kept. The rooms are very clean and have a refrigerator and television. There is space for your suitcase. The only thing it was lacking was good internet.
