Retro Up North roadside motel hits the market — let’s take a tour

An old-school roadside motel has hit the market in Northern Michigan.

Family-owned for 50 years, the Pointe North of Grayling looks like something out of Twin Peaks, exuding a nostalgic charm.

The property sits on five acres and includes 21 uniquely decorated rooms as well as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom manager’s residence. Two of the motel rooms include kitchenettes.

Other amenities include direct-dial phones, cable TV with HBO, air conditioning, refrigerators, microwaves, and pet-friendly rooms.

The motel is located not far from Camp Grayling National Guard Base.

With an asking price of $850,000, the listing agent touts the property for its investment potential, citing the motel makeover trend as seen on series like Netflix’s Motel Makeover and Magnolia Network’s Motel Rescue.

“There’s been a huge shift in travel preferences since the pandemic, with travelers and investors alike seeking properties that provide a unique, accessible getaway,” says real estate agent Dean Bach. “This motel, with its location and charm, is the perfect canvas for anyone looking to create the next up-north escape.”
