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.

Great time
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.

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.

Special place to 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.
