A retro vibe motel with spacious and well kept rooms. Check in was easy and friendly. The room had nice decor which matched the area vibe. Highly recommend if you are staying in the area and just down the road from the state park.

Little gem of a motel just west of Ontanogan. Friendly owners, clean and updated rooms. Price was right. Lake Superior beach is across the road and just a short walk. Would recommend and stay here again, and I’m not much of a motel person.

We were going to be a little late for check in due to traveling so we called per and were told it was no issue. When we arrived we were greeted by name and the owners were extremely friendly. Check in was fast and easy and we were in our room in no time. The room was clean and adorable (fishing themed!) and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay there again when I’m in the area!!!
