Our Story

  • The main lodge was built by the Vogel’s.

  • The property was sold by Sophia Vogel to Frank and Sophia Loppenthien (Albert and Sophia Vogel’s youngest daughter).

  • Seven log cabins were constructed along the east property line.

    The Carriage house was remodeled at about the same time to accommodate five rental rooms and bathroom facilities for the tenants. The establishment was named Lakeshore Lodge Tourist Camp.

  • On December 4, 1945, the camp was sold to Emerson and Viola Fuller. The Fullers were unable to keep the camp in operation. After the property had gone to shambles, it was sold.

  • In April 1953, Jerry and Delores Nader purchased the lodge from the Fullers.

  • The first motel unit was constructed along the southern property line.

  • In 1972, six of the seven log cabins were torn down.

  • In the spring of 1973, construction was underway for the second set of motel units where the cabins once stood. Also that year, an underground pool was installed, driveway paved, and landscaping completed.

  • On April 4th, 1986 Joseph and Carol Lenius bought the motel from the Naders. That year remodeling was completed in the main lodge. Air conditioning, telephones, and refrigerators to all guest rooms were a few of the additions made to better the establishment.

  • In February 2002, phase 1 of the 2-story building began, adding 8 additional rooms along with the community room, guest laundry, housekeeping laundry, and multiple storage rooms.

  • In 2005, phase 2 of the 2-story building was completed adding 8 more guest suites.

  • In 2012, a new salt-water pool replaced the existing pool.

  • In 2013, Nader’s Lakeshore Motor Lodge was renamed Nader’s Motel & Suites.

  • On December 16th, 2014 Joseph & Carol Lenius sold the motel to Michael & Kelly Parker (Joseph & Carol Lenius’ youngest daughter).
