Very nice remodel

This is one of the old timey motels that has been revamped and it's the best one I've been to. The owners have done a nice job with the rooms - at least the one I was in. Very nice design, nice layout, comfortable bed with quality linens - bed and bath - which is not always the case for any line of lodging, great appliances and supplies. A bit over a mile from Port Austin proper. Great place to explore from.

When choosing a pet friendly hotel you usually have trade some comfort. Not here! It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed the pool, lake, and nearby resturaunts and hiking. We will definitely be back!

The room was clean and comfortable. The microwave and mini fridge / freezer were quite new and had a cool retro vibe. The paint and decorations looked fresh and clean. Bathroom fixtures also looked updated. Check in was super easy. They just email you an access code for your room so you don't even need to stop by the front desk.

The renovations and updates at the property were very well thought out. We were super comfortable here. We didn't realize until we arrived how centrally located it was for everything we wanted to do and see as we had never been to this area before. We plan to visit the area again and would stay here for certain.
