Fireside Inn

Fireside Inn is a lakeside resort hotel featuring simple, unfussy cabins that embody a traditional, old-school atmosphere. The property offers two meals a day and recreational facilities such as canoe rentals and tennis courts, creating a low-key retreat for guests seeking a laid-back experience rather than extensive modern amenities. Free Wi-Fi and parking are available, though there is no pool or fitness center on site.

Located on Fireside Highway in Presque Isle, Michigan, the resort provides convenient access to nearby attractions including the Old Presque Isle Lighthouse and New Presque Isle Lighthouse, both highly rated by visitors, as well as the Rockport State Recreation Area. The property is approximately a 12-minute drive from Highway 23, making it accessible for travelers exploring the region.

Guest reviews reflect a strong overall satisfaction with a 4.7 rating from 136 reviews, indicating positive experiences generally focused on the resort’s setting and straightforward accommodations. However, its score for being “good for visitors” is somewhat moderate, suggesting the location may appeal more to those comfortable with rustic charm and a quieter lakeside vibe rather than more polished resort offerings.

Travelers arriving by air can reach Fireside Inn from Alpena County Regional Airport within about 34 minutes by car, adding to the property’s suitability as a getaway for those looking to explore northern Michigan’s natural and historical sites. The combination of a no-frills approach and scenic surroundings helps define the resort’s practical appeal.
