Community, Non-profit, Industry, and Sustainability Partners are foundational to our motel
Partnerships
We partner with local non-profits and community organizers to create inclusive spaces that connect our neighbors, foster creativity, and address needs around Bear Lake and Manistee County.
We've hosted various events including wellness classes, fundraisers, art workshops, and farm-to-table meals.
Our pool is open weekly for public swims, and we've built giving back directly into our business's operations and financial model.
Sustainability + Community Care
We work to incorporate sustainability and community care into every part of our business.
