Introducing Channel Lane Inn's Assistant Manager: Holly Rought. Many of you have already met Holly as we've worked together for a number of years. Her husband Rob is part of the team, too. (He made the cottage style screen protectors on the sliding doors & has worked on other projects here.)
We're gearing up for another year of hospitality in Pentwater... The "quiet season" is nearly over!

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING A PET POLICY UPDATE
Beginning 2026 our motel will no longer accommodate pets. This decision was made to ensure a consistent, clean and comfortable experience for all guests. If you have already booked a reservation with a pet and staying without your pet isn't possible, you may choose to cancel your reservation without penalty and receive a full refund of any deposit. Ask us for recommendations of nearby pet-friendly accommodations.
Service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), will continue to be welcome. While we love animals, emotional support animals and pets are not classified as service animals under ADA guidelines.
We did not make this decision lightly and appreciate your understanding as we make this change to improve the overall guest experience. Your comfort and satisfaction remain our top priorities.
