Nicely remodeled; nice pool, great outdoor area with fire pits and games. Great value for the cost. There wasn’t an accessible ice machine which would have been nice. Overall, would return!!

It’s a nicely remodeled motel. Rooms are tiny and bathroom extremely tiny. Great location. Staff was mostly friendly. I didn’t eat breakfast as it was only processed foods but they have a typical continental b’fast. Cool options like a small pool and firepit. Overall good stay.

It was a trip back to the 1960s. It is a small Motel from the 1960s. The rooms are small by today’s standards but have been upgraded. Not fancy but clean. The pool is clean. There are games for the kids. Fire rings to use with firewood provided. Grills to cook out if you want. Rental bicycles on site and a block from the lake

Wonderful, old-style motor lodge. The owners have obviously put a lot of little touches everywhere to make it welcoming and keep it updated. Would definitely (and likely will) stay again.
