We stayed just for one night there. Everything was ok. Next time we'll stay for longer 😉.
We went fishing across the street.
I liked the very friendly staff at the reception🔥🙂
The main thing for us was that we could stay with our dog 🐕❤️there

I had one of the best sleeps in months at the motel. And the tub was just what I needed at the end of a long day of travel.Tyler and his dad were very welcoming. The bed was SUPER comfortable and I appreciated the fridge, microwave, and tv. I would definitely stay there again! Highly recommend.

Maciver’s is a wonderful place to stay. It’s our go-to any time driving up the North Shore. Modest, private, local and with deep roots in the Blind River area. A treasure.
