It’s a nicely remodeled motel. Rooms are tiny and bathroom extremely tiny. Great location. Staff was mostly friendly. I didn’t eat breakfast as it was only processed foods but they have a typical continental b’fast. Cool options like a small pool and firepit. Overall good stay.

It was a trip back to the 1960s. It is a small Motel from the 1960s. The rooms are small by today’s standards but have been upgraded. Not fancy but clean. The pool is clean. There are games for the kids. Fire rings to use with firewood provided. Grills to cook out if you want. Rental bicycles on site and a block from the lake

Wonderful, old-style motor lodge. The owners have obviously put a lot of little touches everywhere to make it welcoming and keep it updated. Would definitely (and likely will) stay again.

Classic Motor Motel, but updated. Overall okay stay, but rooms are small and overpriced. No storage or drawers, so we had to live out of our suitcases. Evening Bar with live music was fun. Very pleasant staff, and hardworking.

Cute little “motel” with so much character and charm! Customer service was top notch! Had an issue with some food, not only did they take care of it, they asked our opinion on what they could do to make it better! Breakfast is a little lacking. Pool was too cold to use but the outside areas are lovely! Fire pits, cornhole games and lots of seating! Definitely would recommend to others!
