The beach was nice for a short stay. Loved the ice cream shop on site. The outside of the property looks dated, but the rooms have been updated and were clean. I would definitely there again.

Love staying right next to the beach and water. The ice cream parlor is a wonderful addition and the ice cream is fantastic. Our room was very quiet, and we had a nice relaxing stay.

Updated mom and pop motel!

The hotel was just what we expected. Very budget friendly. We especially appreciated the barrel sauna/swim! The place is old but has been nicely updated. Tight rooms like most of the old mom and pop motels. Very clean. We would stay again.

Nice motel. Soap was out in the shower and the coffee maker didn't work. Otherwise, great value for the money. I'd stay again.

The staff was attentive and friendly. The property itself is a bit on the dated side. But if you just need a clean place to sleep, it serves the purpose.

I love staying at Spirit Lake even when it is -14 in middle of winter when visiting my Aunt in Menahga. Because they are always warm, cozy, and room is ready and waiting for me. There is breakfast in town and Greenwood is right up the road. Thanks for being great!
