We loved the close proximity to Pictured Rocks and it’s a very short drive to the beach, which was nice.

This is a small family run property. The property is worn but the UP is brutal on properties. This is a great location between two larger towns with things to do. The room was small but had everything we needed for a quick trip. We spent the days exploring so it was a great space to crash at night. The fridge and microwave were a nice addition to the room. No frills but nicely put together and comfortable.

The bad odor smacks you in the face as soon as you walk in. The carpet is gross-I kept my shoes on the whole time. Shower is tiny, rusty, and the water smells terrible. Coffee pot was growing actual mold inside. And the room felt damp. The only positive is the walking distance to au train beach.

If you need a minimalistic, clean, simple, no frills, place to stay that is an excellent value and located close to everything, this is a great place. We loved the store next door, they literally have everything one could need, and prepare really good fresh pasty's that are hot and ready and deli sandwiches. It is a mini grocery store, they have non ethanol premium on the pump. I was very happy with our stay there. The owners and employees are very kind people as well.

I never write reviews because I understand that people have different levels of likes- I am not a fancy girl- Im mostly interested in cost effective options so I can manage low expectations- the mattress at the hotel was honestly worst then camping on a rock pile - I can look past the dumpster furniture, the tv smaller then my computer screen - but a mattress that has no barrier between me and the springs is where I draw the line -
