While the listing for this motel clearly mentioned room size and pet friendly travelers should keep both in mind. The room was really small and the shower was tiny, barely big enough to turn around in. We did enjoy the location and the use if the firepit.
Where is the heat?!
Amenities were closed but not advised until right before showing up for stay.
Bed was comfortable, shower was nice once it warmed up. Inn seemed clean for the most part.
Very clean, comfortable accommodations. We especially appreciated the well-stocked coffee & snack bar as well as the board games. Location was great and central to the sites we were visiting during our stay. My only suggestion: for the Bartlett room, there really needs to be a shade in the window with the air conditioner. It’s a really awkward set up, in order to have privacy in bed you must pull the heavy shades which completely blocks the air conditioner. Otherwise, everything was perfect!
Stayed here for the second time! Very nice and clean. Enjoyed the pool and sauna! My hike was close by. Kim the care taker of the property was very accommodating, nice and helpful. Looking forward to staying here again!
The staff was very nice and helpful and the room was beautiful. There was everything you needed downstairs in terms of kitchen with coffee, water, candy, and little snacks.
The owners were wonderful! Beautiful grounds and our room was immaculate and very clean.
Will definitely be returning again one day!
Would highly recommend.
It was a beautiful stay, perfect for couples or families (or friends). Adorable place with a nice pool, sauna and multiple fire pits as well as some supplied games
