I understand that the motel has suffered from a fire in the past year, but the location was kind of desolate and it was the end of the season and I was the only customer staying at the motel. It really felt a little bit like a set up for a slasher movie. :-) The room was clean and it overall it was acceptable, but it really is dated to the 1960's or there about. The room was also pretty small, but it had two comfortable club chairs which is a huge plus in my opinion. The highway noise was a little bothersome but not much.

I am happy you were pleased with your accommodations, and as our photos and web site show, we are one of the few roadside mom and pop inns who have been able to survive the deluge of big-box hotels by offering good clean accommodations for a fair price. We are located 5 miles out of a small town on the shores of Lake Superior, but really- a set up for a slasher movie? There are beautiful family homes right above the motel and neighbors on both sides of the motel. Our crime rate is so low we do not even lock our doors most of the time, and there are 5 police departments who patrol our county roads around the clock. To ensure our guest's comfort, our motel doors have double door locks and a chain lock, and we are available 24 hours a day at a moment's notice if there are problems.

I am sorry we did not meet your expectations. After our restaurant, which housed the motel office, burned down exactly one year ago today, I have tried to go online to delete all references of the restaurant from any website as to not have guests be disappointed when they arrive and see a sandlot instead of the great restaurant we once had. We left the restaurant name on our big illuminated sign as we plan to rebuild in the spring. If you would be so kind as to inform me where you saw our restaurant advertised, I can correct that web site also. We have been using our laundry room as a motel office until we rebuild. It is not the same as having our old regular office back, but we live next door and are available by phone 24 hours a day. As we are one of the few remaining mom and pop roadside inns left, we can offer a lower room rate than the big box hotels that some guests prefer, and some guests do not want to pay exorbitant rates that other local hotels charge on the weekends of our color season. I apologize for the road traffic, in all the years I have been here, I never saw as much traffic as I did last week during the peak color season. Thankfully, tonight we have returned to the normal sounds of Lake Superior waves rolling onto the shore.

Wow! I can't believe the traffic this week! I think everyone who did not vacation this summer took their trips now. The falls colors have been spectacular, and the weather has been perfect. The local university has had events this week that have drawn guests from all over, and the Keweenaw had a new event yesterday called Plaiderday, where everyone wore plaid and they were trying to set a new World Bood of Records record for most plaid. That drew alot of people, as well as the university homecoming. We have never seen so many trucks and campers on the road. Thankfully things settle down after dark and it quiets down. Other than the traffic which is bothersome to all of us, I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay. Thank you,

Noisy due to proximity of highway, no working Wifi, a/c not working and room very stuffy.

Thank you for staying with us. The local internet company is installing new fiberoptic cable underground to accommodate the 5G and faster internet to come, and I called the phone company who said they would look into it, but the machines that bury the cable underground are not finished yet so the phone company was not sure if anything could be done until next week if or when it stops raining. It has inconvenienced us all, but they promised that the new 5G will be so fast we will be happy. I checked the air conditioner, and it did cool, and there is a box fan behind the door. We did have to turn the heaters on as it has been so cold and rainy. There have been so many travelers on the roads this week with the end of the color season tours, I am sorry the noise was bothersome to you.

Great little spot in Baraga
Posted 2 Oct 2023 on HotelsIt's a small motor lodge and feels like a small motor lodge, but it's comfortable, has a great view, and is a worthwhile stop for weary travelers.
