The facility has the honestly earned character of a motel built before 1950. Our room had a gas fireplace that worked after the Manager came to our room to relight the pilot light. The motel is in need better maintenance or restoration, but is livable as it is. The location is excellent, close to the lake and to downtown shops and very good restaurants. We chose the place because it was interesting, conveniently located, and inexpensive rather than shiny and new, so we were happy with our stay.

Great family getaway!

Great place right on the lake, very cozy feeling cabin with a real wood fireplace that was great for making s'mores with the kids and plenty of space. enjoyed the balcony with the view over the lake with the morning cup of coffee. The full kitchen was nice so that we could cook our own breakfast and get to the mountains early without having to find food on the way out for the day.

Had to book this last minute. Booked the family suite. Arrived and the hotel room was filthy. Stains all over the carpets and couches. Dirty floor boards and stains on the walls in the bathrooms. Went to the owner to request

Run down property that is missing the basics. Stayed in a family suite with kitchen. No plates (just bowls), no forks (just spoons), no sling or paper towels, horrible blankets for the couch bed, cold water. Everything was old and needed to be cleaned. Paper thin walls. The only positive was location and they accept pets.
