Nice motel with good scenery and good coffee in the office in the morning if somebody is there. The in room coffee was standard hotel issue. Heat didn't work at first but the desk person reset it and then it was OK. Large outdoor firepit with chairs and I think they had wood. Peaceful and quiet.
We were in one of the remodel rooms. Very nice ,clean ,cozy. The bed was comfortable. Felt like a new mattress. We recommend this place and we will stay there again, any time they have something available 😀👍
This was such a cute quaint stay! We came up north to ski at Shanty/Schuss and were looking or a cost-effective place to crash for the night and this was the perfect spot! We were warmly greeted by name at 9:30pm when we arrived. The room was clean and comfortable and close to a cute downtown where we could grab coffee and breakfast. We highly recommend staying here!
We liked it very well. Good beds. Quiet and pretty property.

This property started out okay until we took a shower and noticed the water would not drain out, then the next night the toilet would not flush and when you tried to flush the sink would gurgle and water would come up out of the shower floor drain.
The layout wasn't the best, but it was workable. They also didn't really have room to put your suitcase or clothing.
Love, Love this place second time there. Atmosphere of the place lovely,walk to the beach was easy and nice to get to. It’s away from the town and the craziness.
It is a lovely inn located in the village of Elk Rapids. The management is friendly and attentive. Essential amenities were available to guests. The two stone fire pits were an excellent addition for guests to gather and unwind in the evening.
