“We stayed there last year and plan to do so again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 16, 2013

We were up here fishing and wasn't looking for a fancy place to stay, just a clean affordable place. Perfect! Very clean! Very nice guy that was a pleasure to deal with. A nice place to stay. Highly recommend.

“Great snowmobile spot!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013 via mobile

Great place, right on the trail, bar across the street, and very friendly! Nice clean rooms too! You can get to Gaylord or Grayling in minutes, but this is a better spot! We will definitely be back for our next snowmobiling trip!

Thanks for taking the time to write a review, many people would agree with you that the area between Grayling and Gaylord is the best place in the lower for snowmobiling, and we are lucky to be right in the middle. Thanks for choosing to stay with us, we appreciate your business and we look forward to seeing you again. More

“No internet service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2012

The room was nice and clean - very pleasant; however, I was unable to access internet service. I chose to stay here based on the positive reviews and availability of internet service so I could get some work done during my stay. Needless to say, the internet service is not provided directly by the motel and when I asked about... More
