Great property close to Porcupine Mountains. Clean rooms and great access to Lake Superior down a private pathway across the street. Hosts were great and very helpful with restaurant recommendations. Motel is older, so rooms are 'cozy', but the hosts updated the rooms decor to make it very much like home. Love this place!
