Overall, it was a really sweet relaxing stay. Weather was flawless, lake was glass, party shop had plenty of wine… Maybe a little pricey for some for what you’re getting (it’s tiny vs motel), but if you’re adventurous it’s pretty neat. ##### Duane Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ROBERT Y. 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Wife and I made trip around lake Michigan.

It is tiny, but was perfect for my daughter and me. I love Fife Lake, so to stay on this charming little place, letting the waves rock me to sleep was perfect! I would stay there again...a little pricy, but still perfect. ##### Kathryn M. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Heather B. 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location I did not realize until we were there the boat is stationary and dose not move. The big issue is the bathroom it smells all the time. Tried freshener but did not work. We ended up going to traverse for the day. Wich made it nice. Its good for a ne night stay. The lake is beautiful to look at. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3021279c-ec24-446a-82f8-e1d4ab9a75c1-1755451637668.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e87b282e-e6be-44bf-9385-47aa7ed6beca-1755451635018.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3ad7c8bb-f1ba-480e-b096-dba81afd9bd3-1755451638471.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/198f2aa8-93c7-41d2-8ec0-fb03641d4d74-1755451637287.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Heather B.
