The "new" owners were very welcoming and accommodating, making sure that all of our needs were met. We thoroughly enjoyed the private beach with beach lounge chairs, a couple of fire pits and a smaller sand beach area. The mini frig, coffee maker and coffee pods were greatly appreciated. The was plenty of bath towels and toiletries. The bed was very comfortable. The next time we are in the area and are in need of accommodations, we will be staying at the Portable Lake Motel.

Today I was out looking at prospective houses to buy on Wolf Lake. Decided to stop and take a quick…read moredip in the lake to cool off before heading back out. As I was just wading in the water at the public access next to Wolf Lake Motel and Resort I saw and heard a lady in blue swim shorts and a blue flower and white swim top yelling at some very young children. Not asking but yelling at them to stop running in the pier. Then asked another very young boy who out of these kids are staying here. The boy couldn't have been no more then 8 years old. A little girl in the water said I am staying here in room #2 and these are my cousins whom are visiting. The lady ended up being the owner of that establishment. She starting yelling at the children on the dock and the water telling them in a VERY NASTY way that if they are not paying to stay here they cannot swim there or be on the dock. That was for paying customers only. Then proceeded to tell these children ages 8 years old and younger to get out of the water and get off her property now. Then the said owner proceeds back to the picnic table she was at and was telling ALL the people on the shore about these poor children. The father came out on the dock to get the children and the owner was yelling at him telling him to get off her property in front the entire beach front and the children. I was APPALLED and felt horrible for these kids whom only wanted to play in the water on a holiday weekend and they were NOT doing anything wrong. That includes running. I will NEVER stay at a motel that didn't even look that good to begin with that cannot respect family or very young children. Truly disgusted!!!!

We checked in late, but were contacted by the motel and made arrangements for the room to be open and waiting for us. We are traveling with a pet and they made us feel welcome to have our furry family member. The location is great, an easy walk to the beach and downtown. We opted for the river view, walked out the room and there was the river. Made for a beautiful place to watch the sunset. Quiet property and well maintained. There are rooms being worked on but quiet during our stay. I will stay here again next time I am in town. Will also recommend this to friends and family.

No frills, budget friendly, very clean, centrally located, family run motel by Bear Lake…read more My wife and I stayed for two nights. The Inn is a great home base for visiting nearby Traverse city as well as Empire to enjoy the beautiful Sleeping Bear Dunes. The Inn itself is situated in a small town of only 500 people, friendly folks everywhere. There is a breakfast spot within walking distance called Lakeside Cafe. The Inn is owned and operated by a veteran and his wife, we arrived after 9pm on a Fri and the wife greeted us with a smile and gave us some info about local attractions. The room had two queen beds which were very comfortable. The room was spacious, very clean (in fact one of the cleanest hotels or motels I have stayed in), flat screen TV with numerous channels, reliable wifi, there is also a pool which can be used during the summer. The only cons are the Inn is located on highway 31, which although not a busy highway, you can hear cars during the day and night. Our room was the 2nd closest to the street but not all the rooms are the same distance to the road. For a little over $80 per night including the 11% tax from the state and city, this spot is very reasonable and comfortable.

No warm welcome for us. The beds had very thin bedding--I wore my coat to bed because it was still so chilly in the room. I asked for a room near the entrance door because we had a puppy, but we were given the end of the hall and not allowed to use the emergency doors. The tv didn't work well--lots of static and jumping picture. Overall, I was cold and annoyed for getting cheated. Don't be afraid to stay, just don't expect much and bring a blanket and pillow.

But, someone came quickly once I rang the bell as the sign told me to, and we were checked in quickly and efficiently. The room was small but clean. The bathroom had been recently refurbished, though the tub drained slowly. Bed was comfy and while the heater was loud it kept us toasty on a chilly October night. My main complaint would be the lighting. The switch by the door turns on a small light over the table. There are lamps you turn on by hand on the chest of drawers and over the bed, but no light over or near the sink outside the bathroom. Not really convenient if you need to shave. Not a bad place if you need to stop for the night (and by morning the parking lot was no longer empty), though if I were here longer I'd probably look for someplace with larger rooms and a few more conveniences.
