Great little place near the snowmobile trails. Room was comfortable and a great place to relax after a day of sledding.

Winter Surprise
Off Season but full occupancy due its charming Owners/Operators, its location [ South Shore Lake Superior ] and its price.
An historical facility extremely well Kept-Up and Spotlessly Clean.
Will stay there again for next next year's Free-Heel Conclave .

Sweet hotel.
Sweet hotel in between Ontonagon and the Porcupine Mountains. Comfy log cabin vibe. Very clean. Across the street - the hotel has a great beach access with incredible views of Lake Superior and a beautiful beach. Gracious hosts greeted us.

Small, cozy, clean place I would stay again.
Cozy, very clean, not a lot of extras, but nice to stay in a place that makes you feel at home and not at busy motel. Wild life decor done up very nice.
