Had to ask for heat. Had to get someone to fix tv. The bath tap dripped all night. Only thing pretty was the lake. Didn't even stay for their breakfast. Would not recommend this place to anyone. . Price outrageous

The room smelled musty. There were at least a couple of crickets chirping loudly in the baseboard heater, several spiders with webs and eggs along the top of the wall, and several hairs from previous guests on the comforter. We did not stay and left to make the 2.5 hr drive to Thunder Bay and spent the night there instead. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Basic 3 star motel and perfectly adequate for a one night stay. Mini fridge but no microwave. No hairdryer but plenty enough soace to bring 2 bikes in overnight. Comfy beds. Highway noise was tolerable. Nice view of a little lake. Would definitely stay there again. Open May1-Nov 1.

The staff was very nice. We did not realize there was no air in the unit, I believe you could ask for one to be put in but we had been driving all day and just wanted to get everyone to bed. Also the floors in the bathroom were not cleaned at all, the bath mat was black afterwords.
