It was a clean and spacious room. Bed was hard and uncomfortable, sheets and towels had stains but smelled clean. The water smelled horrible. Pulling in it looks like a junk yard. Weird that everything in the room was unplugged and not enough outlets to charge devices. Internet didn't work. Good restaurant just down the rd but not much else. Lots of recreation close. Ok for the price but won't be staying again.

Highly Recommend

The owner was very nice and helpful in suggesting where to eat in the area. Thanks to him I had a delicious dinner and a nice walk at a beach in Manistee. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean, big and cozy. The area is quiet, peaceful and beautiful. After all, you’re inside a national forest.

Excellent value and customer service!

This place is awesome and the gentleman that owns it is the kindest man you could imagine. It was like staying at my grandfather's house. Nothing fancy, but considering the alternatives in the area, the cleanliness and comfort far exceeded my expectations. Just a couple miles from tippy dam AND he has canoes and kayaks!! 10/10

Good stay, very convenient. Clean bed. Had to move the microwave to allow the mini fridge and microwave to work. Could only get one channel on the tv but might be user error. Stopped trying after 10 minutes. Fresh coffee available outside every morning.

Thank you!

I've never experienced an easier check in. The hotel is on the edge of a beautiful national forest, with our view a quiet yard. Very relaxing. We were there for our uncle's funeral and couldn't have asked for anything more relaxing. Quaint, clean, convenient.

While we did not actually stay at the motel, we were treated very well by the owner Tim Scully. Due to issues, he contacted us and had made arrangements at another place for us, and he paid for it. This was a very unexpected thing for him to do, and very much appreciated. So since we did not see or go to Scully's, I am not qualified to answer some of the questions. Thank you.
