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.

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.
