My draw to stay here was the bonfires on the beach and s'mores. Upon arrival, we were told the their load of firewood for the season had not arrived yet so no fires in the barrels for our stay. Room had a strong smell. Breakfast doesn't offer anything good.

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.

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.
