Curleys Paradise Motel, Cabins and Rental Homes is located on the shore of Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay in the heart of Paradise in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Curleys offers a 26 room air conditioned motel, four one and two bedroom cabins which sleep 2 to 4 and 2 full sized homes with one to four bedrooms which sleep 2-8. The homes with fireplaces overlook Lake Superior.
Curleys has 700' of terraced beach frontage. Sit on the terrace or just outside of the motel and watch the freighters going to and from the Soo Locks. Look to the north and you will see the hills of Canada. For your enjoyment, Curleys also offers a tennis court, exercise room and game room. There is a great picnic area overlooking the lake with grills and tables and a firepit for evening bonfires. If you are an early riser, you may see one of the breathtaking Paradise sunrises as you look out over the lake. If you are visiting in the spring or summer, enjoy sightseeing, hiking, biking, fishing, swimming at our sandy beaches, collecting agates along the shore, canoeing, kayaking or ATV riding. If you are interested in birding, be sure to come during the early spring, from late March to the middle of May to see thousands of birds migrating the 17 miles to Canada for the summer. Whitefish Point is a natural flyway for the migrating birds, many of them arrive here and stop to feed and rest for a few hours before crossing Lake Superior. Whitefish Point Bird Observatory
