I had to cancel my stay there the day I was supposed to arrive and called up to cancel the room. They were very friendly and helpful with it. I've stayed there a few times now and like it. Close to town, friendly staff, family owned and run. Rooms are clean and it's close to town, nothing fancy but a nice place to stay.

It was a clean room, and for the price it was perfect. A mini fridge provided and not a lot of amenities but suitable for what was needed. Also within walking distance of our new favorite place the RBar!

I liked it here. Sure it is an older property and it is not as pretty as some of the other motels but eh price is $45 instead of $79 I just wanted a room to spend the night and take a shower. It fit the bill for this and it was clean. They even have a fish cleaning station in the back and boat charging receptacles out front. Not a bad place for the money.

Don’t stay here.

Well for starters when i get there then have no record of my reservation. I had to show an email saying i made one. They had one room available. Sort of. Told me someone reserved it but wouldn’t be there until the next morning. So as long as i left early enough......like 6 am.....i could have the room. Also i reserved a room with 2 beds. I had my kids with me. The room i got was a one bed. Worst hotel experience I’ve had.

Very nice place

Very nice place. Low price. We were given the cabin on the end which is nicely decorated with a (fake) fireplace and camo everything. Great little place. The decor really matched the small fishing/camping/hunting town. I would stay again and definately recommend to friends/family visiting.

Like taking a trip back in time. Everything was outdated including the 19" Sanyo tv. Heat was not working (had 2 space heaters in our room) to compensate. Smoke detector was missing and wires just hanging from the ceiling. No bathroom counter space at all. Shower was pitiful and the paint was peeling from the tub itself. Large hand soap dispenser mounted to the wall in the shower, literally no room to actually shower. Very small room, barely had room to open the bathroom door. Room was adjacent to another and believe me the walls are paper thin. They came in around 10:30 and loud as can be from the kids making noise to the baby crying. Cannot completely describe how bad this experience truly was.

Not a pleasant experience

The room itself was bare bones but clean. The trouble was, you could hear every noise outside. People talking, plumbing, dogs barking and the worst part was cigarette smoke drifting into the room! Horrid. I won't stay there again.

Please Read Thoroughly & Know The Owner Is On Top Of This: The only reason why I gave low marks was the previous occupant disabled the smoke alarm in this Non-Smoking room and smoked so heavily not airing out the room or spraying everything down with 2-cans of Febreze could get the smoke out. But the owner IS on top of this and has gone out of his way to make things right - We Will Be Back ! ! ! The room had a rustic old cabin feel to it which took me back to Wisconsin cabins by the lake, small but quaint and rustic. Had Cable TV, mini fridge, microwave, closet and bathroom with smallish shower stall (sorry, I'm 6'2" & ALL shower stalls are small). No phone, but in today's climate, everyone has a cell phone so we didn't miss it at all. The room was PERFECT for just needing a place to sleep while taking advantage of what the Lake of the Ozarks has to offer. WE Will Definitely Be Back ! ! !
