“Picture perfect views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2010

This little motel looks nothing from the front, they have just 7 rooms, but step into the basic rooms and look out of the window. WOW! a beautiful vista of the water, boats and birds. Sit in the "Garden on the Dock" and soak up the calming, peaceful atmosphere. Wonderful place to chill and bide a while. I wish we could have stayed longer.

An older "70's" type motel (which I love) that is the cleanest I have ever stayed in. Loved everything about it - can't wait to go back !!

“Bluff Shoals - A cozy little hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2009

I have been staying at Bluff Shoals for over 10 years, and I never tire of it. I like going during the off season best. I like grilling out and relaxing by the scenic Silver Lake shore. I like the convienence of the grocery store next door. The parking is great. The rates for rooms are good. I also enjoy sitting on the front porch watching the local activities. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

“Great place already booked our next trip”

We stayed here for 2 nights the staff was friendly. What a great small little gem. I think they have like 7 rooms total we parked right in front of our room and only used the car to drive to the beach and back. Everything was clean and in good working order. We have already booked our next trip for this year and can't wait to go back...

“clean and breezy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2008

people found this review helpful

We were first off the ferry and the owner offered us the newly remodeled apartment at the back for a great rate. 2 bdrms, 1 bath (clean enough to eat off), full kitchen, living room and screened in porch. Very clean, he even washes the bedspreads. Free bikes and a dock on Silver Lake with adirondack chairs. We're going back end of this month for another stay. Couldn't beat the location with a stick.

  • Liked — cleanliness, location, service
  • Disliked — not a great view from the screened in porch
