We enjoyed the quaintness of this motel. It was clean and mostly comfortable - the beds were comfortable but one arm of the couch was loose or broken. After booking but before our arrival I found additional details about the property including the fact that it was cannibas friendly. Unfortunately upon checkin we noticed a reasonably strong marijuana odor in the room, which I had hoped would not be the case. It’s possible that I missed this detail upon booking the room but I would certainly recommend that we this detail be clearly communicated when booking. We were traveling for a family trip with our teenage son and we are not a “cannibas friendly” family.

Very nice place to stay. Old school vibes! Room was perfect. Pool was great and right outside your door, and Bear Lake with small swimming area within walking distance. If your a boater, I noticed, plently of lake access. 15 minutes to downtown Manistee & lake Mi.
