The rooms were clean, adorable, and affordable. The view is gorgeous.
Very nice and cozy rooms right next to the lake. The manager was very nice and helpful. We will definately look forward to staying at this location again! And we fully recommend it to anyone that is looking for a great place to stay at a totally reasonable price!
The owner really takes pride in his motel with no dramatic activity. Always clean rooms and outside area. They are so friendly and helpful. They have great prices for the beautiful view of the lake on this property. Would tell anyone to go here to stay.
Our stay 08/2024. Perfect place to stay and such a wonderful memory. Room was clean. View was amazing. Owners are lovely and very thoughtful.
Despite all the other guest, I had a good experience. The guy who I believe was the owner was beyond nice and polite. The room they had given myself and my family was good. There wasn't any problems. It has a vintage/home kind of style. I will come back to this location, especially since it's close to Carthage college.
We were in Kenosha for the funeral of our son. The owners were just amazing, leaving flowers in our cabin with a nice condolence note. The cabin was very clean with an amazing view of Lake Michigan. There were chairs and a picnic table set up outside to watch the lake and we saw sunrise and moonrise both. The owner even started a small fire! Just for the kindnesses alone, I would recommend this place. The view made it all the better.
Husband and I did 3 night stay. Rooms were clean and area was quiet. We enjoyed a cabin while there. Location is perfect as its close to attractions but far enough off the beaten path that its quiet. It was a no thrills room but we are okay with that. Orlando was great amd helpful. We will DEFINITELY book again.
I found this motel on Google Maps. All of reviews online are spot on and accurate. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The room was nice and clean. I will definitely be back, this is a great place to come and relax. Thank you for accommodating me!
