Very friendly staff, you'll be in good company for breakfast. No maid service, a little on the rough side of things. The newer addition is more modern and accomodating. The owner is currently updating the original building. Dog friendly, group campfires in summer.

I stayed at rays for a golf outing. I stayed in the old part. All of my friends stayed at the Hampton inn. I will never stay at rays again. The room was dirty. The bed was like sleeping on a sheet of plywood. The shower was just old. Like a old prison bathroom. If you need to check out... More

Definately take a newer upstairs room, the downstairs rooms are the pits. The owner is as friendly and hospitable as they come, but lazy. He will not empty your garbage, you must take it out yourself. He will seldom vacumm or clean sinks etc. You will not get anything near traditional maid/room service. If you leave the A/C on, he...

If you are looking for a snowmobile friendly place this is the only place to stay!! When they say free breakfast they mean a good hot one that keeps you going all day. You can't beat Mike and Ann Ray, They make you feel like part of their family and if you want a trip on the trails just ask.... More

I found this place on TripAdvisor, and was impressed with the two reviews that were out there, given it was about $60 per night. We were trying to save some $ on our way through to Mackinaw Island, so booked a room for two nights. I have to admit, first impressions driving in were not that great, but our room... More
