This motel is super cute and retro. Nearby to outdoor activities and not far from sleeping bear dunes. Overall the place is very clean and well maintained. Also has a pool. Pet friendly. I think that for the price, it was well worth it. Right across the street from bear lake. I could see myself coming back here again.

It was OK. The only downside of this trip the beds were like 15 inches off the ground. The restroom are super small. They were gone for the look of the 60s and 70s they achieve that.

My family and I stayed at Motel Bear Lake for a night while planning a day at Lake Michigan, and I was in awe with this place! My kids love all the games, art supplies, and local beach! It can be hard to find pet friendly stays, especially that are clean, but this had it all! We felt right at home! We will definitely be back!

Charming older property that needs some more updating. I liked that some thoughtful amenities were added in the room. Plus the room I chose was sizable. The property is being restored by women owners and they have done a nice job in providing a clean room with a few extras that other older properties most likely would not have.
