This hotel is impeccable. The interior matches the time period that the building was built and everything was pristine and so very comfortable. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and it was so quiet at night. This is a good place to explore the Tahquamenon Falls, dog sledding, Whitefish point lighthouse and more. Super kind and friendly owners, and a sweet dog on the property. I would happily return.

Breakfast was a lacking. I don't love to fill up on sugar in the morning, as much as the home made muffins are a lovely touch. Would have liked a microwave to properly heat the oatmeal. Yogurt, fruit, bagels would have been nice. Even cold cereal. I went away hungry. Food facilities are not abundant and the breakfast didn't cut it. It's really my only complaint. If food is an issue for you, maybe plan on bringing some substantial food of your own for breakfast.

What a wonderful and memorable experience! The lodge itself is a lovely building full of character, and set against a beautiful Lake in close proximity to many interesting sites. The rooms (including sitting rooms, lobby, and dining room) were all thoughtfully appointed with historic furniture, objects of art and creative thematic accents. Beds and linens are of the highest quality, and all conveniences are provided for. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming. we look forward to returning.

Beautiful location on Trout Lake. Lovely, newly remodeled interiors with beautiful updated bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean.

They are working on getting a liquor license so there is no bar yet and very limited food service. If the noise of a train whistle bothers you though, this might not be the place for you.

The owner put a lot of passion into the property and it shows. Every intricate detail has a fascinating story. Also there is so much to do there - you are free to use the boats, roast marshmallows, the area is perfect for nature walks. Also the perfect center point to tons of interesting destinations, such as whitefish point and Seney wildlife refuge.

My husband and I had a wonderful time! it was the perfect little get-a-way for us to unplug for a long weekend. Our room was super clean and comfortable. We both don’t sleep very well and we were very surprised at how comfortable the bed was! I ordered the cheese and fruit board and it was the perfect little touch. We would definitely come back!

The room was great and very comfortable for the evening. There were available chairs to sit outside and watch the sunset.

A coffe pot in the rooms would be nice for early risers and a hot breakfast would be nice but not a deal breaker.

Wonderful, quiet, and serene location. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets! We stayed in the motel portion and loved the mid-century look. Lots of character to this place. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. Very easy to check in. We could have easily stayed the entire day at the property if we didn't visit other attractions.

Because it was June/Summer, and the property is next to the water, in the deep woods, there were lots of mosquitos. Not sure if property could fog the premises. Bring plenty of bug spray! This is what we expected, however. We knew what we were in for. Just be prepared with bug spray when you get here.

Everyone there was so friendly and very helpful. We got excellent recommendations for dinner and activities. We had a room at the motel, but had access to all the common areas in the hotel. Our room was spacious, clean, and had great decor. My family of 4 fit in there nicely, we weren't cramped at all. The hotel was very spacious, the common areas were well kept and comfortable, and they had a cabinet with games you could borrow, and blankets for sitting outside. The breakfast of muffins and coffee was delicious. The outside is amazing. A beautiful little beach, great areas to sit and enjoy the amazing view, a great little area for a fire, and you can also purchase a s'mores package. Overall, it was beyond our expectations and we can't wait to go there again!

Host was an wonderful person to talk with. Hospitality was great. Room size was exactly what it was supposed to be. Last but not the least the location. You will get a nice room to stay right by the lake.

Was expecting a coffee maker or Microwave in the room. Nearest restaurant is 20 mins drive. Though they server Coffee, Muffins and Oatmeal at the reception desk in the morning, but having a coffee maker in the room will be real good choice specially during freezing days.

The staff, the comfort of the room, and the setting were all fantastic. We were so impressed with the way the facility is being maintained to honor its legacy. We appreciated the tour of the facility we got and the wonderful explanation of its history. The rooms are furnished beautifully in the lodge and the motel also honors the period of its beginnings. The homemade muffins in the morning were yummy. The staff was very helpful in giving us tips of places to visit the day we left. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay here.

There isn't anything that could have been improved.
