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.

While this isn't a 5 star hotel, its clean, simple, and quiet. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. If I'm ever in the area again, I would stay here.

This motel worked well for us. We were looking for a quick overnight stay on our way further north. This older motel has had some updates and we found everything clean and tidy. We were OK with the COVID protocols and contactless check-in.

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.

Absolutely happy with our stay!

Our stay was a very positive experience. My son and I were in the area to fish for trout. Our room was very clean and fresh, stocked with everything we needed for our two day stay. Room was equiped with a small refrigerator and television with cable access. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The location was exactly where we needed to be with main street access.

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

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.

The room was fine, It was stated in the listing that breakfast was available, that is one of the main reasons why I booked this place. JUst to find out on the day of that breakfast is no longer being provided. I am hoping that they update their listing for future guests
