Relaxing
Our room looked recently renovated. The property is undergoing some updates and improvements. The property is right on the river, and they provide chairs, picnic benches, and open fire options to enjoy the river and its views. So peaceful and relaxing.

My most memorable stay ever! I'm a traveller around the states, and this place is the most wonderful! We (5 people) arrived at 11pm, and the staff was very welcome to help us add another bed (for free) even before we noticed to ask. The surrounding is quiet at night, and extremely chill in the morning thanks to the river. The room is clean, and spacious compared to other inn we've ever been to. The price is extremely affordable also. At first I was scared because this place was in the middle of nowhere, but the experience was so good that we decided to come back here for the trip next year!

Nice Room, Amazing Bed, Great Location
Amazing hotel especially for the cost. Was very nice to hear and see the river just outside the rear windows. Unit was very clean with very high-end fixtures and appealing decor. And oh my god... the beds were amazing. This probably sounds like an exaggeration but I've stayed in many hotels and without a doubt, the bedding and mattress here were absolutely the most comfortable I've ever been in. Extremely fine pillowcases and sheets and a very nice semi-firm mattress but with a soft foam top. Bed was actually a 10/10, I really could not imagine anything nicer and more comfortable.

I called the property ahead of time, just to double check that bringing my pet was okay. I let her know I was in need of serenity. She put me in RM 21 on the 2nd floor with the Breathtaking View of the River. My entire stay was quiet, serene, beautiful and the employees were all very courteous. Thank you for such a great relaxed experience
