Lovely little motel, wonderful owner/staff

The staff here were wonderful and friendly. Very helpful, even came and told us that we should bring our items in from outside that we were hanging to dry because a raccoon had been stealing items LOL. The bed was broken, but we were able to put the frame back together properly so it became a non-issue. We had a lovely stay, and my dog really enjoyed the property. I absolutely love the little picnic area and the presence of a barbecue for visitors

Our room was clean, room was tight with 2 double beds but perfect for a nights stay. Recommend that if you have any mobility issues to ask for a room on the ground floor as they don’t have an elevator.
