Freighter's View on the Bay offers comfortable overnight accommodations from mid-April to mid-November. Located on the beautiful shores of Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay, Freighter's View offers you a unique opportunity to unwind, relax, and regenerate. We are a small motel with a cabin feel. Our decor is simple, comfortable, and clean. The beauty lies in the area that surrounds us. Each room has a view of Lake Superior and the opportunity to spot freighters as they move up or downbound to the Soo Locks.
Popular attractions in our area include Tahquamenon Falls, Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, Whitefish Point Bird Observatory, the Crisp Point Lighthouse, Point Iroquois Lighthouse, Oswald's Bear Ranch, and the Tahquamenon River mouth. Paradise is located two miles south with restaurants, gift stores, and a gas station.

Freighter's View On the Bay has 240 feet of lake frontage on Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior. We provide chairs to relax and watch the huge freighters go by while you enjoy the incredible view.
At night you will often see the lights from freighters passing to and from the Soo Locks as we are located just slightly north and across the bay from the St. Mary's River mouth. If weather permits, there is a community campfire pit for an evening campfire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows or just relax. Wood is provided for your campfire. If you're lucky, you might see a full moon rise over Lake Superior or the Northern Lights.
Freighter’s View On the Bay is just two miles north of Paradise, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula. Call 906-492-3266 to make your reservations for a great stay on the shores of Lake Superior. Card carrying members of the Whitefish Point Bird Observatory, Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society, or the Crisp Point Light Historical Society receive a 10% discount when staying two or more nights.

About Us
Cleanliness We were fortunate when we purchased Freighter's View on the Bay. John, the previous owner had good routines to manage inquiries and the facilities. One of our personal goals has been to provide a clean, quiet environment for our guests. Our linens are professionally cleaned by Northern Linens out of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. We like the pressed linens. This assures our guests a clean sterilized bed in which to rest. We then take care to clean our rooms as we would like them to be cleaned for us. Believe me, we have become very attentitive to clean rooms since we've entered this business nearly six years ago.
Check In and Check Out Check in time is 3:00 PM. Check out time is 10:00 AM. We hope you enjoy your stay.
Room Rates Our room rates are based on several factors, the time of year, the type of room, and the number of people staying in the room. From Memorial Day weekend through September, our rates are about $10.00 higher. The kitchenette runs approximately $10.00 higher then the basic room. Pets? We love pets. We've been fortunate to have a couple of wonderful pets over the years and we respect others that enjoy pets and those that can not tolerate pet dander. So we elected to have two pet friendly rooms and two pet free rooms. We have a one time $5.00 fee for pet guests whether you stay one night or two. But please, take a moment to review our pet policies as we would like all of guests to enjoy their stay, including our pet guests. It is our hope to offer our guests a clean, comfortable room at a reasonable rate. Don't hesitate to give us a call for availability and rates.
