10/10 Exceptional

Spectacular view offering a peaceful & tranquil view from the comfort of your room! This is the most charming place with extremely friendly owners who can't do enough for their guests. The down to earth atmosphere gives a sense of home away from home and if you're receptive to making friends, simply walk outside enjoy conversing with other travelers on the deck or around a fire. Im sad to leave here but I will absolutely be

10/10 Exceptional

Nice quiet hotel

I do not usually leave reviews but we stayed here last year and it was a nice place to stay so when we got the chance to go to Keweenaw area again I booked it for this year. It is a older hotel as you can see in the pictures but Carla is super nice and helpful. It is a family business and you can contact Carla if you need anything. The rooms are clean and nice inside and has everything you need. It is a nice quiet pretty setting with the water right across the road. I would definitely recommend staying there, we will when we are in the area again.

Nice 1-night stay

Nice location albeit away from town but great view, lots of outdoor seating and small room thoughtfully filled to address all needs.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nice view of Lake Superior. The room is very outdated. The floor is not level, extension cords all over and needs a complete remodel. The outside of the property needs some serious repair in more than one area. The ladder someone complained about months ago is still there. A carpenter needs to be hired to finish repairs. Overall we would not stay there again. If we had our car instead of a motorcycle, we would have slept in the car.

Magical!

Incredibly amazing once again! I have been traveling for a few months all over the US. As a southern girl the last place I'd expect to land is the Upper Peninsula, and I'm so glad I did! Because of the beautiful story about Carla & Dougs start, 45 years ago, (ask them it's an inspiring story! ) their extremely kind heats, willingness to assist me with everything & offering insightful advice; I fell in love with them & Baraga! This is my second trip with them inside of a month, I've officially begun making arrangements to call this future winter wonderland home. All it took was sincere acts of kindness to make this once foreign place feel like home. This place is representative of their story, their life and the community. It's special, charming, cozy & warm. Its NOT like those ridiculously overpriced outfits and I personally am glad! I've never slept better than right here. It's welcoming inviting and a long standing piece of history over looking the beautiful bay! Stepping back in time here at Carlas Lakeshore Motel has been magical & appreciated. I admire them both and will absolutely see them again! Thank you Carla and Doug for continuing to be so kind, for remaining in business for 45 years growing more and succeeding! Thank you for your absolutely perfect mom & pop motel! You both changed my future in a positive way. This world needs more people like you both. :-)

Great little spot in Baraga

It's a small motor lodge and feels like a small motor lodge, but it's comfortable, has a great view, and is a worthwhile stop for weary travelers.

Not only is Carla one of the sweetest people you will meet, she was also helpful with all my questions regarding dining options to rock hunting. The room was comfy, clean and had so much charm. Thanks for a great stay Carla!

It was a relaxing place to stay. The staff were friendly. It could use some clean up outside, weeding. The bed was great as were the sheets, pillows, blankets.
Claudia, 2-night trip

I had a very nice, clean room and it was ready when I arrived. The property is a bit dated but I like the improvements the owners are making. The view of the lake is amazing, and the owners were really nice!!
Garth, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I liked the convenience of location,,I had two kids to pickup and move on. If you have dogs this is a great place to hang out,, If you are a non dog owner you will not like it, Reasonable price for short lay over
