Wonderful Place

This was a wonderful place to stay for the weekend! It was a bit bigger than it looked in the pictures, which was great. The shower was a little bit small, but very usable. The only thing missing qould be a sponge or dish cloth to wash the dishes with. Everything else was wonderful!

Long weekend

A good place to spend the night. The traffic noise during the day was loud and constant, so not a great place to hang out during the day. It was clean and comfortable. No hairdryer so make sure to bring your own.

8/10 Good

Pics are deceiving

Property is in a decent location, however the photographs and description do not really give an accurate representation. It is walking room only for one person at a time. Place needs a good scrub and I would not call the dock useable as it's old, rickety and boards are loose. We got there, set down our stuff and I distracted my daughter at Petoskey State Park while I looked for a hotel. We picked up our stuff and left. Counter was dirty, floor was dirty and the shower was disgusting!! Would not recommend unless you are desperate for somewhere to lay your head for a night.
