My partner and I really loved this motel! It was clean and the staff were friendly. Only downside was that the bed was so squeaky that it would wake us up if the other person moved or got up. Otherwise, great place.

The workers were absolutely amazing. We had 2 children with me and my girlfriend. Its was an unforgettable experience. We even ran 10 mins behind our checkout time and they told us not to worry. I rented cottage 15 a queen 1 bedroom cottage and the children slept on the futon outside in the closed in pourch. They had everything youd need for cooking plus grill on site. Also they had 2 nicer grills by the gazebo with activities horseshoes and some round ball game. A beautiful dock and large green grass ares for the children. Id give this a 10 out of 10. Im already planning a trip in August! Oh i forgot to mention the pool! Really nice!

Recommended Stay

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights as a getaway to go visit the 1000 islands. The room was very clean, the owner of the motel was very friendly and helped us with all the questions we had, as it was our first time there. Owner lit a fire every night for the guests, and a very nice location. We will definitely be back.
