Great for an overnight. No local places to eat after 7 pm or before 9 am ( we were warned about this by motel staff so thank you for that). Difficult to find electrical outlets for charging multiple devices. The bathroom fan is really loud.

The staff were really great and helpful. I loved that they had ice cubes readyand available at no extra acharge. We could back out car right up to our door making it easy to load and unload and come and go during our stay. AC would have been nice, it was a lot day when we arrived and luckily the rain came and the temperatures cooled down in the evening making it an okay temperature for sleeping. We still had to keep the windows open making the noise from the highway more prodominet. It was clean and the mini fridge was cold. If you are there when it's really hot, make a note that a lot of the restaurants in the area close when it is too hot so call before you go to ensure they are open.

Clean, comfy, with friendly and helpful staff.

Beds were comfy and the owner and her daughter were absolutely lovely. The rooms were very clean and property was well maintained. When the fires caused the trails to be closed in the national park, the owner had a list of things posted on the fridge that guests could do as alternate options to hiking. She gave many great recommendations and suggestions for activities in the area as well. Very helpful. My only recommendation would be to add a few more channels or a streaming service for guests as the tv options were extremely limited which didn’t help us in the evening after we got back from dinner and we were trying to keep the kids busy. Also, an ice machine would be great so guests can get ice during the time when the office is closed like at night. One nice feature though, was the availability of a few breakfast items for purchase in the office. So other than the tv and ice machine, which are small details, it was a lovely stay and a nice property.
