"We had a fantastic time here. The rooms were spotless, incredibly comfortable, and beautifully designed. What really set this place apart, though, was the staff—everyone was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Excellent location, great amenities, and a wonderful vibe. We will definitely be back!"

Newly renovated motel with a lovely location right on the lake and a sand beach. Comfortable beds, handy mini refigerator, nice bathroom with slate floor and strong water pressure. Close to the road, but peaceful overall. Good breakfast selections. A/C was very loud, but it worked well. Great place for a short stay!

This place was very well kept up right next to the beach. The workers are very helpful, but it is a studio if you’re looking for something a little bit bigger get something bigger because this is a New York style studio, but very nice and clean.
