"We can't say enough about this property and our hosts. Impeccably clean. Lake Sara is beautiful. Fully stocked with everything you'd need. This was our fourth stay, my besties and myself and we r planning our return visit. Weve stayed in many VRBO AND AIRB&BS in the past and this outweighs them all. Would highly recommend!"

"This motel was conveniently located near the interstate with a few food options nearby. The rooms were clean. We especially like the no smoking, no pets policy due to our allergies. Breakfast was excellent. The pool was a bit cold for our liking but everything else was fine for an overnight stay."

The Redbud Cottage--Beach & Quiet. Lake Sara Waterfront & Wood Fires.

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our long weekend trip with our family was great! The house is very comfortable and has just about everything you might need. The view of the lake, availability of fire wood for camp fires, and kayaks and canoe for enjoying the lake were awesome! Beautiful sunrises and loved seeing lots of nature and wildlife right from the yard. Everything about our visit was pleasant and we hope to go back sometime. Communication from the host was great! Thanks for a great weekend of calm, peace and memories."

Best Western Delta Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Receptionist did an excellent job at check in. Was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Don't usually see that these days. Swimming pool was a little cold and was not able to handle that. Could have had some laundry facilities on the property and that would raise the level of the facility. I will always stay there every time I vome to visit my daughter in Charleston"
