My wife and I stayed here over Xmas. Rooms were clean, shower was very hot with great water pressure. The two pups kami and Sadi have never met a stranger. Kami would scratch on the door to say hello or want to come in and give hand shakes. Mike is very knowledgeable of the area and super friendly. Jana was great aswell very friendly. Honestly have nothing bad to say. We will definitely be staying here in the future.

Well I have to tell you that this place is wonderful!!! You can relax, play pool or sit down by the community fire pit!! The owner's are awesome and friendly!! It's a dog friendly place. They also have a snack shack in case you forget something. They have ATVs for rent to ride around on. So bring the whole family and explore the upper peninsula!!!!

Won't stay anywhere else when I visit the U.P. - have never been disappointed by the amazing service, the charm and unique character the Clarke has to offer, and the friendly people you get to meet along the way here. It's always my go to place. I can't recommend it more! Its truly a place where memories are made! And the newly added cabins are just as cute & comfy as can be!
