Independent Manistee hotels

"My family and I stayed at Motel Bear Lake for a night while planning a day at Lake Michigan, and I was in awe with this place! My kids love all the games, art supplies, and local beach! It can be hard to find pet friendly stays, especially that are clean, but this had it all! We felt right at home! We will definitely be back!"

"Beautiful setting. Lovely!"

"Rooms were clean and comfortable. Pool area, very nice and well tended to. Breakfast was fine, but would like them to rotate the menu so you have more than one option when staying multiple nights. Staff were friendly and accommodating."

"Was nice"

"good"

"It's a excellent place for adults as we have stayed here multiple times and will again. My only complaint is that the pillows in our room were hard and flat. We'll bring our own next time just in case."

"The room was very clean and the location is beautiful and convenient to restaurants and stores."

"A clean, well run, well arranged, conveniently located, older property. Nothing modern, but everything you need and everything where it should be. Comfortable beds and the rooms are well accoutremented."

"Clean and on the go breakfast options "
