Exceptional opportunity to own the Waterway Inn—Indian River’s top-rated lodging facility and a thriving, fully renovated four-season business in the heart of Northern Michigan’s Inland Waterway. Sitting on nearly 2 acres of commercial-zoned land just 300 feet off I-75, this turnkey property offers significant growth potential with room for expansion. Originally purchased as the Coach House Motel in 2019, the owners have invested over $400,000 in improvements, elevating the property’s reputation to a 4.6-star Google rating and earning the #1 spot on TripAdvisor for lodging in Indian River. The Inn features 11 fully updated rooms, six income-producing mobile homes, and a spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath owner’s quarters. A profitable public drop-off laundry service adds an additional revenue stream. Every room and mobile home has been renovated with new beds, linens, Roku TVs, high-speed internet, and a modern reservation system that seamlessly connects to major booking platforms. Centrally located, the Waterway Inn is the only lodging facility within walking distance to downtown Indian River, Burt Lake State Park, two boat launches, and direct access to the North Central State Trail. Its prime location off Exit 310 also captures a steady flow of walk-in traffic. The Inn benefits from repeat business, exclusive partnerships with local golf courses, fishing charters, and outdoor adventure companies, and is frequently at full capacity during peak seasons and even throughout the off-season. With a strong 16% cap rate, this property offers excellent cash flow and investment potential. Indian River is a rapidly growing destination with over $6 million in recent commercial investment, limited commercial-zoned land, and easy access to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Bay Harbor, and Mackinaw City. Offered turn-key, this sale includes the real estate, business, equipment, furnishings, and detailed operational records—ready for new ownership

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
