Nice little cabin! Room was very clean, comfortable bed, lots of towels and wash cloths. Nice little kichen & well set up to prepate meals. Staff was very pleasant on chck in!
Owners are very friendly and helpful. Our room was "wolf" themed and very nicely decorated with a cozy cabin feel. Beautiful location. We were there when the snow was deep and they kept the parking lot well cleared.

Winter Surprise
Off Season but full occupancy due its charming Owners/Operators, its location [ South Shore Lake Superior ] and its price.
An historical facility extremely well Kept-Up and Spotlessly Clean.
Will stay there again for next next year's Free-Heel Conclave .
What a cute and cozy place! It was absolutely lovely and it had wonderful beach access to Lake Superior. We had a fantastic time and loved the room. Would definitely return!
Sweet hotel in between Ontonagon and the Porcupine Mountains. Comfy log cabin vibe. Very clean. Across the street - the hotel has a great beach access with incredible views of Lake Superior and a beautiful beach. Gracious hosts greeted us.
Cozy, very clean, not a lot of extras, but nice to stay in a place that makes you feel at home and not at busy motel. Wild life decor done up very nice.
I would recommend this hotel to family and friends that are visiting the beautiful Porcupine Mountains. It is convenient and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed the cabin feel of the room.
