Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Cute, quiet easy to access. Great location with good food and drinks nearby. Watch out for the large hole in the driveway where the lane meets the bridge.

Very nice stay
It was so cute and cozy. Will definitely be coming back. I loved that they provided a small box fan since i always sleep with white noise. Everything was clean, and working, and best of all-you felt safe. The only thing i must say is the beds are on the firm side, but thats a preference thing so still 5 stars from me👍 OH YEAH, there boone dinner has really nice workers and fast service. Loved it all!!

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.

The only negative thing about this location was that it walls seemed thin. You could hear the people in the other rooms. It would be nice to have ice available as well. We enjoyed our stay. I would stay there again. Thank you tjb

We were looking for a place to stay for 1 night on our way to another destination. This was one of the cheaper places to stay, and I'd stay there again. The rooms were small, but clean and quiet. They had a fridge, microwave and coffee machine.
