Come stay at Three Lakes Motel
Since 1962, this motel has been greeting guests and is an oasis along a lengthy span of US Highway 41. Our 10-room motel can be an overnight stop on a long journey or a base for your vacation or other activities.
All rooms were completely remodeled in 2017 to provide a comfortable stay with the modern conveniences of DirectTV, WiFi, USB ports, mini fridge, microwave, and more.
A four-season motel, we welcome guests that are traveling through, visiting the universities, doing business in the area, following the Lake Superior Circle tour, and others coming to fish, hike, bicycle, motorcycle, hunt, take waterfall tours, rock hunt and so much more.
In the winter we are on a connecting trail (spur) to state snowmobile Trail #8 where you can ride the U.P. right from your room. We also serve as a convenient stop for those skiing (think Mount Bohemia) and enjoying winter festivals like the Ice Carnival in Houghton.
We are an updated mom n’ pop motel that offers a great comfortable room at a reasonable price.
Hope to see you soon – safe travels!
