We drive through the UP every few months and always stay here. It’s always clean, quiet, and feels very safe for solo travelers. And we love that our dog is welcome!

We thought this property was overpriced considering no breakfast and the rooms are very small and outdated but the staff was very friendly and their is ample space to walk your dog.

Nice, clean, pet-friendly place. Needs to repare stool, though- it wobbles something terrible.

This is a remodeled older motel that is well maintained, clean & very comfortable for an overnight stay. They have beautiful hanging flowering plants and colorful chairs & table with flowers outside each room. The owners are very nice & welcoming. There are trails behind the property & a grill, picnic table with supplies on one side. The road that is in the front can be noisy, but has little to no traffic on it during the night.If you are a large person, the shower is small and you might have difficulty fitting into it. It works well for us. We have stayed here before and will do so again when passing through.
