Friendly staff. Well maintained facilities. A little dated and showing signs of age, but not like we expected a luxury resort. Perfect mix of affordable, clean, quiet and friendly. Will definitely stay again.

Great time
Comfy beds, updated rooms—shower was large and relaxing- very clean. Loved having a fire pit and lawn chairs to use in the evening. The complementary coffee, hot cocoa and popcorn in the room were a wonderful addition. The convenience of parking directly outside your room was an added bonus.

This is a very clean and cute motel. The owners do a lot to please their customers. The lot is on the smaller side, so if there is more than one person there with a car trailer, it takes juggling around and good maneuvering around during your stay.
