The pictures made it looked like a place you could swim but it was a rocky and not accessible for swimming. The bed was excellent. The breakfast room was tiny and the coffee horrible. Would not recommend this place.

Nice room. Be advised there is no elevator so guests on the second floor must carry luggage up stairs. The breakfast was poor and the coffee weak. The decaf side of the machine was not working.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities

Staff was never available to answer phone. We booked two King rooms, both were Queen bed rooms. Holes in shower curtain & holes in curtains at the slider. Lightbulb was burned out by bedside. Water pressure was low, water never got hot. Sheets and pillowcases were cheap & bed mattresses were uncomfortable. TV would keep going off periodically. Room was clean and staff was pleasant at check in. Lakeview was nice. But would not stay here again.

We had a nice stay at this cute motel. The view was great and we loved the fire pits and s'mores at night. The hotel was clean. Nothing fancy, but perfect for a night. Positive - the bed was super comfortable. Negative - the bath towels need to be replaced. Overall a great stay and I would recommend this property.

Fantastic property. Owners and staff friendly and courteous. Grounds immaculate. Room comfortable, clean and well equipped. Pillows great, bed a bit hard for my liking but clean. Balcony with view was fabulous looking out towards Bridge and Mackinaw Island...beautiful. Plastic adirondeck chairs could be sturdier and were cracking. Beach and nightly camp fires excellent with S'mores provided. Pool and hot tub was great. Will definately be back in the future.
