The room was very clean. We slept really well. Was cute like a log cabin room. We were able to walk across the road and get food and listen to some really good music. The location is great close to the highway and there is a very quaint coffee shop breakfast place very close. The parking is great.

We were a little concerned when we pulled up and saw the truck with two flat tires that had been there for a while and the neglected state of the property. However we were pleasantly surprised with our room. It was clean and perfect for just needing a place to shower and relax after a long day of hiking.

Good place to stay. However when we arrived it was after hours and everything was closed. We had no toilet paper and had to use old paper towels from my car. The property does not have wifi and service is spotty. They tell you that though but it made for a bit of an inconvenience while trying to see if places were open for toilet paper. The place was clean and everything worked.

outdated furniture (some areas are broken), bathroom, appliances. No WiFi internet in the area with weak 4g reception. No breakfast area. Missed entry to the site due to lack of sign visibility after the dusk.

Almost Perfect

Room was great and had incredibly easy access to everything you would want to see in the area! The only unfortunate part was that the walls were very thin and not very soundproof, so we were woken up at all hours of the night from noisy neighbors. Other than that, the place was great! Rooms were clean and appeared exactly as described, would recommend to others.

We had two rooms and were dissapointed because it was more like a 1 star hotel. There was a huge crack in the exterior wall of 210 that we could see sunlight through. Bedspeads were old and fased. There was no ice available. No cream, sugar, or sweetner for coffee. Each room for 4 people had only 2 towels. I did go to their store for a cup of ice and was told i would need to buy a bag. I try to understand the poor condition of the rooms inside but coupled with poor amenities I can't give this hotel more than a 1.

Would have loved it but there were several dead bugs in the room, the beds were pretty uncomfortable, the heat didn’t seem to work properly and the staff was less than helpful. The limestone mine with kayaking was fun. The ark is close so we visited that.
