Perfect mom and pop type vibes. This isn’t an over the top place with every amenity you can think of. This is the type of place that you want to bring your family to year after year. Best service by far. The people who work there actually care.

Quaint and comfortable

Great location and the owners are very nice and accommodating. The view was fantastic from our motel room. The room had everything we needed. Only complaints are that the water pressure in the shower was terrible and showers took forever and the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors walking around and making noise. Next time we'll spring for a cabin.

Remote was dead for the TV so we could watch the weather. Mold in the bathroom. Walls were super thin so you could clearly hear next door. The water pressure was horrible. Lady at the desk didn’t seem to know what she was doing but she was nice.

We stayed in a small suite with a kitchenette area. The bed was very comfortable. The view was gorgeous. The only downfall is that there is no one that comes in and changes out your towels, or removes any trash you have. You have to get your own towels if you need more, plus take out your own trash if it gets too full. I’m not fussy about having the bed made or changed so that was fine. Overall though we really did love the place.

Cute and vintage

I stayed in the motel at Solbakken. It is vintage - reminded me of resorts I stayed in as a child. While things inside were older, they were clean. The bed was updated and cozy. The motel portion is not next to the lake - the cabins are behind the motel, and then the lake.
