The place was old. Pockets doors on the bathroom. Bathroom sink is tilted and toilet is loose on the floor. Mattresses sag in the middle. Tv placed above small table tilted downward…watch your head getting up! Ouch, more than once we bumped our heads and back room has a definite dip!

I had a very nice, clean room and it was ready when I arrived. The property is a bit dated but I like the improvements the owners are making. The view of the lake is amazing, and the owners were really nice!!

What a wonderful view from our room of the sunrise. Dog friendly that was nice. There is no restaurant at site even advertisement said there was however Carla had a great list of resturants near by. On recommenday would be to have one dog friendly room with a railing near the 3 steps We appreciated the grab bars near the front door.

Carla was very pleasant and the overnight was great for just 1 person. Too tight if my wife had been with me. It needs more TLC and general upkeep. I congratulate the owners for keeping it going, though in a tough economy. The next-door restaurant was closed, and none were right nearby. The view facing east across the bay was gorgeous and the price was good.

I liked the convenience of location,,I had two kids to pickup and move on. If you have dogs this is a great place to hang out,, If you are a non dog owner you will not like it, Reasonable price for short lay over

Not only is Carla one of the sweetest people you will meet, she was also helpful with all my questions regarding dining options to rock hunting. The room was comfy, clean and had so much charm. Thanks for a great stay Carla!

This motel was unkept and in bad need of repair. There was a tree laying on the back of the building with a 4x4 proping up the over hang. Our room smelled of wet dog. The room was dirty with hair stuck to the camper size (no joke on the size) bathroom wall, no bathroom door only a curtain. The bathroom window (inside of shower) didn't close completely. The toiltet was approximately 3 feet from the edge of the bed.The floor around the edges of the room needed vacuuming. Cob webs on the ceiling. Upholstered furniture was broken and filthy. We would have stayed elsewhere if another was available within our budget and in the Keeweenaw.

This is your typical "mom & pop" motel of the 50s and 60s. The cute picture is misleading, because it is so old and dated. The room is extremely small. We had to put our suitcase on one of the comfy chairs, because there was no place else and no luggage rack. The bathroom was so small and it was impossible to use the only outlet in there. We stayed 2 nights. When we returned from our travels on the second day, we discovered that the trash had been taken out (though they did not bother to put new bags in the cans.) They left a new coffee packet, but hadn't cleaned out the coffee pot. New towels were left, but we had to go ask for toilet paper. And asking for anything can be problematic because the host/owner is not on site. If you just need a quick place to sleep and leave, this would work, I guess, but we were hoping for much more.

Fantastic deal with a beautiful view.
Every day one of the owners checked with us and offered their direct cell phone numbers in case of any concerns. I have serious bad issues and we slept very comfortably in the queen bed. No frills but a fantastic value. We definitely will go again. Beautiful view on Lake Superior.

Not as advertized.
This reminded me of a dating service inhanced and not the same as the picture. There was no restaurant hasn't been in over a year. Remains of burned building still attached. There had been remodeling to our room that was all poorly done. The place in general was run down. It's a 50.00 motel for 109.00. Its sits right on the main highway so it's noisy. There is the cove in front of the motel but you can't get to it it's rocky. My total bill on line was 105.00 but I ended up being charged 109.00?

Carla was nice and worked with us through some issues, though the facility had a lot to be desired. There is no longer a restaurant and it’s a lot more outdated (at least what’s leftover from the fire) than expected. Not a bad place, though it was not what we were expecting.
