Drake Motel

Drake Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Staff is excellent and rooms are clean and rooms have different themes such as fishing and hunting and 50s etc. You can call in advance and they can give you a room code to get into your room or you can call the two different numbers on the sign outside and they can give you your room number and then key code. It’s a good price for your money and there’s no full time people living there like some of the cheaper hotels that I have stayed at. I would recommend this place to anyone."

"Absolutely stunning views, and perfect for those looking for seclusion. The point is in perfect position to see gorgeous sunrises from one side and sunsets on the other both reflecting off the lake. Cabin was clean, had everything we needed for cooking meals, and the fishing was great! Already talking about booking again next year!"

Vintage log cabin with fantastic views of Bowstring Lake

10/10 Excellent
"We have been staying at VRBOs for 30 years and this experience rates as one of the best. The hosts have done an excellent job updating and making this place shine. First off, the cabin is spotless upon your arrival. Very well stocked with kitchen supplies & plenty of quality bathroom towels & supplies. The beds and furniture are quite comfortable. It was on the hot side while we were there but with plenty of excellent windows open we never had to turn on the air as the breeze off the lake was perfect. Obviously, this is not a large cabin. However, it never feels cramped inside. WIFI signal is strong and many channels available for TV viewing.Finally, Steve is a top tier host. Extremely responsive and communicative while fully respecting your privacy. We highly recommend this rental!"

"We really enjoyed staying at the cabin. The host was very helpful when I sent questions about renting a boat beforehand. The cabin was clean and rather spacious. It was very private which I liked. Kitchi lake was an excellent lake to be on, and it was easy to get to the other lakes in the Cass lake chain by boat."
