A welcoming and friendly establishment. Loved the view and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know other guests around the wood fires (with s'mores!) on the beach every night. The breakfast was the perfect send-off for our days of exploring the area.

This was a delightful little motel overlooking Lake Huron and the bridge. The room was great and the nightly fire on the beach outside our room (complete with S’mores) was awesome. Great place to stay.
