My Dad, b/f, and myself (obviously) were headed up to the UP for a memorial for a family member... now if you are familiar with the Yoop you know there aren't many...nicer...places to stay. And by that I mean not a hunting cabin or the Bates Motel. After some looking I stumbled upon this little gem. We needed to be close to Ewen and this place fit the bill.
I had wanted to book their whirlpool suite but it was taken :( So I booked a 2 bedroom suite for my Dad and also one for the b/f and I. Only because it was the same price as a single bed suite...so why not. (Summer prices are cheap!) Rooms were large, clean, and comfortable. We had a room on the second floor with a private deck that overlooked the grounds and the millions of deer that live in the UP. OH! One important factoid... the stairs going up to the second floor rooms are HORRIBLE. Metal grates that obviously don't hold onto salt - so you are basically walking up stairs made of ice. The railing too. Try walking up that drunk... yeesh. Anyways, the rooms are fantastic. Our heater made an absolute ton of noise so the second night we stayed in the second bedroom and closed the door and it was fine.
They also have an onsite restaurant that is open on the weekends during the summer. Blew me away. If this review were just for the restaurant I'd give it 5 stars. We had a few bottles of wine to start. Also cheese curds cause we are from Wisconsin... Delish. We all also got chicken and rice soup which blew all other soups I have ever had out of the water. My dad is a chef and he RAVED about it. I ordered the walleye, pan fried and boston baked potato. The walleye was huge, tender, needed some salt but it was delicious. The potato was the same. I also ordered a side of deep fried frog legs...why not right? FANTASTIC. My Dad ordered their ribeye and it was one of the best steaks he has had. I was envious of his taste buds! I tried the steak...amazeballs. The b/f had the fish fry, it again was great. The batter wasn't as crispy as he would have liked but the fish was incredible and the seasonings were spot on.
If you need a clean, affordable place to stay - you have to stay here. Nothing else compares to this. And you MUST eat here. Even if you don't stay at the hotel. EAT THIS FOOD!!!!!!
