We enjoyed the cozy little room and the creamery on site! Would recommend Nickel’s BBQ in town as well as the Blackberry Inn Cafe for breakfast. The hotel is close to the state park and they let us keep our car there even after we checked out. Would highly recommend!

The manager/ employee on site was very helpful with local tips, served us ice cream an hour before their shop opened, and the stay was comfortable/ convenient to walk around town because of the location

The place wasnt even open yet. The room was not finished, and there were construction workers all around. It didnt feel safe. The back "views" were to some streat that had a bar, at night people would walk by and be loud and shady. We couldnt have the windows open because you can inside the room and bathroom if they are. We were the only guests in the motel. Paid almost $200 for an unfinished room. We had to set up the microwave and fridge ourselves. The floors were dirty from all the construction. We asked for ice, to the one person that seemed to randomly be around (actually a really nice guy) but their ice machine wasn't working, probably not set up yet. We had to find a way to get our own towels. The shower handle that turns it on fell off, almost breaking my toes. We just could not believe they actually had the audacity to rent ONE room of this unfinished mess. I felt unsave and unsettled. It will probably be nice once it's done, but we felt ripped off.
