What you see is what you get, but it’s really fine. Wouldn’t bring my wife or small kids, but I needed a two day (two night) base while deer hunting in nearby Kent County, MD. This place was ideal.

Nice place with a great staff

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms clean and have clearly been updated recently. We did find a lot of light in the room from outside that was difficult to block, but we still enjoyed staying there and would happily go back.
