Washburn Motel

I had often passed this place but was determined on this trip to check it out for a night. Wish it could have been SEVERAL! Though the row of cabins may look a bit plain outside, my cabin was EXCELLENT inside. EVERYTHING a person would need with some nice homey touches like REAL towels, REAL coffee cups, and nice linens. I love the knotty pine interior throughout and my unit came with TV/cable, full kitchen, coffee maker, mini fridge and everything I needed for a wonderful night. If you are the type who HAS to have "concierge" service for every little aspect, this probably is not your place. If you just want a nice pleasant private feeling, you will like these cabins. I dropped in looking for a room early and "on the fly," but my host was able to check me in and give me a key while

DO NOT STAY HERE!! Horrible, Dirty, Smelled like Cigarettes!!! The windows were propped open with shims when we got there to air out the room I assume. There was a ash tray on the table. The screens had duct tape over the holes and the window frames were totally rotted through to the outside. The comforters looked stained & dirty. Cigarette burns on the 70's carpet. Hair on the bathroom floor. Bar owned by the same company 20 steps away from the lodging, you could hear very loud partying all night and then at bar time everyone revved there engines on the way out. We only stayed the one night because we had no where else to go, slept on top of flat sheet with everything else pulled off the bed. Covered up with our beach towels. Left the next morning due to terrible conditions, explaine

Place is very run down outside. The office is connected to the main house and smells foul. Inside, my cabin not cleaned. Fecies dried to the toilet bowl. They did come clean it right away but, gross! Supposed to have kitchen items. One of our cabins had the stove but not a pot, pan, plate etc. The other cabin no stove but had plates but no silverware. Had to track owner down in a bar. Floors dirty and not vacuumed. Yet for all this wonderfulness, they charged 100bucks a night! I recommend staying in your car before here.

I was a little nervous pulling in because the cabins looked small, but looks are definitely deceiving. The inside comfortably fits a queen, a futon, a cute little kitchen with breakfast bar and a bathroom. Everything was clean, comfortable and cozy. This was a great place to stay for our family of 5, and we really appreciated how good the food from the bar/grill was. The fact that this was pet friendly was a definite plus. We would stay here again in a heartbeat next time we're in the area

We chose this Motel because from reviews it appeared to be what we wanted--a clean place near Apostle Islands National Lakeshore that would afford a comfortable night's sleep for a comparatively reasonable price. Other nearby places were booked; this Motel seemed sufficient for a one-night stay, especially since we needed two rooms for our party. We sent in a check (credit cards are not accepted) in advance to hold the room. When we arrived the person at the desk rather grudgingly agreed to show us our cabin. With the windows open it didn't seem bad although there was an underlying smell of cigarette smoke. When we returned to the room that night the smell of smoke was much more noticeable, especially in the bedding, and all the other flaws in our little cabin became evident. There is a ba
