History

Built in the 1950’s we purchased the old "High Life Motel" in June of 1995. It consisted of 8 rooms, was only opened seasonally and was in pretty rough shape. At the time it was built, it was considered first class and was known for its sign which was a large rotating stainless steel ball. There were mixed reviews when the ball came down as many remembered it as being the first sign of knowing they were back Up North. We wanted to breathe new life into an old icon but couldn’t see it as anything other than a beautiful log Lodge, especially because of its woodland setting and central location to everything Northern Michigan has to offer.
