Great quiet place to stay

First time in area so we didn’t know what to expect. Facility was in a shaded park like setting with a fire pit and easy access to a private beach. The room was clean and comfortable.

Nostalgia

An older road side hotel that has been updated. Super friendly owners. Lovely small rooms from a bygone era. Perfect for a quiet night on a bicycle trip while a cold front pushed through.

Beware

We arrived around 5 PM and I went up to the desk. As the lady was leaving her office for the day. She told me that my key was sitting outside in a mailbox. And I was confused. We did get an email stating that check-in would be from 4 PM to 7 PM and that if we had an issue with that that we could give them a call. While we were within those times and she was leaving and she said well it's a holiday. So through hotels.com we put on there that there were five people, and they said that there were rollaway beds available. There were no rollaway beds. Apparently there were a couple and they are a small business and they cannot provide them for every single room. And that I needed to reserve them. Which is not what is stated online. I basically told her it was unacceptable. There is no way they should've let me put in for five people. I put the ages no way they should let me have five people in there without accommodating five people. And then I was told that when she called the owner that they didn't like my attitude. And they were thinking about just canceling us. Fourth of July weekend. Because she didn't like the way that I was upset about them, not providing what was stated. I have never been so mortified I was also told that I could go up to Meijer and purchase an air mattress. and purchase an air mattress. Which is what we did because we did not want our family member sleeping on a floor of a motel. We had a purchase an air mattress and a pump. Out of our pocket.

What a great find! Convenient to Traverse Bay & Elk Rapids. Love the 60s vibe! Cozy room, but updated to 2025 amenities. Wonderful fire pit area to unwind at night. Walking distance to beach. We will be back!

We arrived at the Elk Rapids Lakeshore Inn in the evening and it was so quaint. We walked to the beach around dusk, about a block away through the trees and sat on the beach - it was beautiful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We’d stay here again!
Cute seating area on the property.
View from the beach.
Walkway to the beach.
