The manager was very helpful. The only thing I didn't like was the water. Very rusty. I made coffee with it not realizing how bad it was. Yuck.

Comfy beds, updated rooms—shower was large and relaxing- very clean. Loved having a fire pit and lawn chairs to use in the evening. The complementary coffee, hot cocoa and popcorn in the room were a wonderful addition. The convenience of parking directly outside your room was an added bonus.

Beautiful old retro motel but with the modern amenities that travelers have come to expect. Staying here was an exceptional trip into the past. It made me long for the good ole days. Absolutely loved this place!

This is a very clean and cute motel. The owners do a lot to please their customers. The lot is on the smaller side, so if there is more than one person there with a car trailer, it takes juggling around and good maneuvering around during your stay.

Super clean and great attention to detail make this a special place to stay.
There were TV trays in my room and a larger model compact refrigerator.
Towels and linens very nice.
Probably better for families and groups as people can congregate and talk loudly outside your window.

I liked the whole stay. Owners add a lot if personal touches. Popcorn, bottled water, hammocks, fire pits, rags for wiping down motorcycle. Very friendly staff. Enjoyed staying somewhere that felt more like home than a hotel.
