great retro motel that’s been refurbished, even has an evening fire where folks can sit around and chat and eat s’mores! highly recommend!
The King en-suite was very small. For that kind of money I expected to have more room. Website pictures are nice but very deceptive regarding room size overall. Bathroom so small I was glad I did not bring my husband. He would not be able to turn around in there.
This was our second visit to Cedars Motel and it was great just as the first visit! Hannah and Alex are both very welcoming and friendly! Very helpful with answering questions about the area and Mackinac Island and things to do. The rooms are clean and well maintained, and they have a common area for making a bonfire and sitting around. Also provide continental breakfast! Definitely will continue booking a stay with Cedars!
The renovations were beautiful. One suggestion would be that you upgrade the locks on the doors to a deadbolt type. The doorknob lock left us a little concerned, also daylight could be seen coming through from around the door. Regardless, not only would we look forward to staying again, but we would also wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in visiting St Ignace.

Wonderful. Love the decor. Quant and inviting. Owners are amazing!!!
We loved staying at the Cedars for the night. It is such a cozy setting & the fire and s’mores were great for getting outside at the end of the day. The only thing that I’d recommend is getting some merch as we definitely would have purchased some!
Everything was clean and brand new. The grounds were beautiful and the owner was so welcoming. They had a bonfire going when we arrived and told us about different events happening in the area.
A wonderful young couple making a go of owning a tiny, knotty pine resort in Michigan’s upper peninsula. It’s quiet, quaint and personal in a great location. They were honest about on going updates and very kind. We will be staying again!
Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable, enhanced by the quaint atmosphere, clean rooms, and friendly owners/staff. It was clear they wanted their guests to feel at home. The older building does call for adjustments for handicapped guests, but you can make it work as long as you aren't confined exclusively to a wheelchair.
The couple that owns and runs the motel are both super friendly and VERY knowledgeable about the area. Rooms and super quiet and quaint. Will stay again if we are ever in the area!
Love this little place! The property is exactly how it should be for an up north adventure -simple old school charm. The owners are so accommodating and kind. They work so hard to ensure your stay is top notch.
