Described by the destination as "boutique hospitality," the rooms are up-to-date, yet down-to-earth.
The rooms in the motel are classic 60s style, while the rooms in the inn are fashioned to the early 1900s.

Weekend Getaway Tips:
Come prepared to spend some time outside - it's gorgeous here. Use the lodge's kayaks or paddle boats on Trout Lake or snowshoe trails in the winter.
Day trips to Tahquamenon Falls, Paradise, and Whitefish Point make fun excursions.
