We were up the 4th of July weekend they have a big parade and fireworks Saturday. The staff was outstanding very helpful and kind! Great place to stay we are differently coming back next year. We are also looking to come up in August too. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. Outdoor heated pool was perfect ☺️. Stephanie is do a great job managering the place! Can't wait to get back up there!! Town was just a short distance to walk to the restaurants ,stores and farmers market on Saturday. The only time we drove was when we took our kayaks to launch them for a trip to turnip Rock. That was amazing trip well worth it.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We felt the accommodation was sub-par compared to other places we have stayed. We didn’t feel that the motel photograph on your website showed the actual accommodation. There was no table or chairs, only one nightstand, tiny shower with bad faucet, tiny sink with no counter space, rusty bathroom shelf unit, bed that squeaked and tv that came on by itself twice during the night. We also felt it was exceedingly over-priced.
