Welcome!

2024 Winter Update: We haven’t had the best weather for winter sports this season.  A few beautiful weeks in January and then warm weather returned. So skiers and snowmobiliers have had limited opportunites and motivation to travel to Northern Michigan. Still we’re fairly busy on weekends, so please call well ahead of time for reservations, or book online.  Also, we frequently have last-minute availability due to late cancellations of reservations. Call or text us at 989-348-9094.

Text Messages:  We can now send and receive text messages from our main number at 989-348-9094.

No-Contact Check-ins:  We’re continuing this from the COVID days, it’s worked well for us and our customers. You’ll get a text message (if we have your correct number) on check-in day. It will have your room assignment, door code, and everything needed for check-in.  You can go directly to your room and don’t need to check in with us.  But we still hope to see you sometime and say hello.


Your hosts, Rob and Diane, would love to welcome you to Grayling and Northern Michigan. We are sure you would enjoy the variety of activities and pursuits that the area offers. We continue to operate the Woodland Motor Lodge as a clean, quiet family motel that has served its customers well for over fifty years. We have many repeat customers, and many who have been coming to this motel for longer than we have owned it.

Enjoy privacy in wooded, quiet surroundings. Our large lot places our cabins and most motel rooms off the road, facing a wooded central courtyard. Here you’ll find an outdoor cooking area, with picnic tables, a barbeque pit, and games. Please look through the descriptions and photos of our motel rooms, cabins, and setting with the links above.

Reservations

Direct Online Bookings now available!  See our Reservations page for contacts, links, and details.

We do have many no-vacancy nights, especially May through October. The online reservation system should show all our current availability.
