room was very clean owners were very helpful, real down to earth people. thanks Wade

This motel was very clean and quite roomy. It was a great deal for the price we paid. There was no frills and yes, some outdated furniture. But for a place to spend the night, it was great and clean. The owner was very friendly. I would stay here again.

The room came to almost sixty bucks with tax... - The parking lot is gravel and dust - The beds are tiny and smell like an old musty basement (as does the whole room) - The chair by the bed could have been pounded with a meat tenderizer for a few weeks straight it's so lumpy and horrible - The...

Was there from 15 July 2011 to 17 July 2011 on a trip to Tahquamenon Falls with family. It is a quaint, small motel. The owners are very friendly and very accommodating.

The money saved on the cost of the motel afforded us the ability to put more in our gas tanks. Our friends stayed in... More

I used to stay at the Vagabond Motel twice/year on business, until I gave it a shot in 2007 and planned a personal snowmobiling trip to Paradise. Now, I try to travel up there as much as I can. But given the poor economy situation, the last two years I've only been able to make it 3 times/year including business.... More

I read a few reviews on this place that say it smells - true, low water pressure - true, no pop machine - true, cheap - true, nice owner - true. If you are group of guys hunting or snowmobiling this is your place. Beats trying out a Walmart solar shower and the beds are slightly more comfortable than the... More

The Vagabond Motel has just earned "Worst" Motel I have EVER stayed at award. The smell that was in that room took days to get out of my olfactory nerve (instrumental in the sense of smell); that smell goes beyond the English language to describe! Stinky bed, lounge chair from the 50's that had creaky coil springs, limited wall outlets... More
