Rooms were very clean dated but nice outside sitting area was nice but nothing available for the fire. Pit would be nice if they had a propane patio heater or fire pit. Sliding bathroom door was kind of a pain would not stay closed so if you want privacy in the bathroom, that may be a problem.

Don’t judge a book by its cover! The outside looks like an old fashioned motel, but inside is a different story! Wooden crown molding and baseboards help the room to be a step above other motel rooms. Very clean, comfortable bed, cedar armoire, refrigerator/ actual separate freezer, microwave. Sink is away from the bathroom, but it worked out alright. TV is on the smaller side, no ice bucket or tissues which was odd considering they upgraded so many other amenities. Would recommend and would stay again.

It was a clean room with modernized furniture and carpet. Well kept. Might be the best kept in the town. We've been to five other motels in the town and I would definitely stay here again.

Very clean, quaint place to stay. There is an outdoor grilling area with picnic tables if you want to grill something. Also a fire pit area. The rooms are basic but very clean and well maintained. A microwave and refrigerator in each room. This is a family owned and operated motel. Very friendly and helpful.

This motel is probably the best that we've stayed at and when we visit the area will stay here again. The check in was so much fun; got to meet the dog and cat of the motel. We felt like family.
