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.

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.

We enjoyed our three night stay here. The room was clean. We did some fishing off the dock. It was nice to have a fire pit to use. The front desk was friendly. They have a grill, horseshoes, and some other amenities. We ate at the bar/restaurant a couple times. Its just down the road. Played some Keno. I would stay here again when in the area.

Only stay at this dump as a last resort

Room was not clean. Neither the WiFi nor TV worked. There was mold in the coffee pot. The room was moldy smelling. Rust in the bathroom which had a single pull chain light.

Clean for the mosquitoes

We were eaten alive by mosquitoes. Must have gotten 30 of them. If I'd wanted that, I'd camp.
