Quintessential Roadside Motel

Cute little roadside motel. I liked that prior to arrival i received a text message with the door code as they do virtual management and you dont check in at an office. The room was very small, but good for just my husband and i. The room was impeccably clean. Only complaint was the mattress was very firm and the AC didnt keep up, but other than that it was great!

Absolutely loved it. It's a very small and quaint place. The room was clean & they offered a very nice variety of snacks and coffee/tea for guests. Furnishings and decor in my room was dated but in good condition and clean. It gives cabin vibes. There is also a nice trail for guests to walk located behind the building. I would definitely stay there again!

Cozy and Clean

We stayed one night with our two dogs. Very clean, thoughtful touches with having an enclosed dog run area with seating, and prompt customer service. Note that there is no staff on site but you do have a phone # for any issues 24/7.

Cute, cozy and affordable

I'm so glad I found this place! My room was very cute and cozy. Very clean and comfortable. It was just the basics, but thats all i needed. It was different because they do virtual check ins and dont have staff on-site, but it honesly made this very easy. If anything, update the take-out menus in the room. They were very old and had incorrect information. Loved this place and i will come back if im ever passing through again!
