Terrible bed that rolled around a lot. Terrible pillows. Wholes in blanket. Tub stopped up. Some type of bee kept getting in the room. Lots of places it could have come in. Cheaply furnished.

It’s close to most of the area attractions we were looking to visit. It’s not that it’s a bad place but it is not very updated and the mattress is HORRIBLE! Pillows are not comfortable and just need to be replaced with something that actually works as being comfortable. For the price and the fact that there’s hardly anything else in the area it was just convenient but not really comfortable. Would I stay there again? Not unless they have replaced the mattress and pillows with something newer and more comfortable!

The property was plain but pretty. Very few amenities. My biggest complaint is that I woke up with bites all over me. I checked the beds, but didn’t see anything. I liked the rustic feel but not sure I would stay here again because of that.

This is an older property, but well maintained. The only negatives were a musty smell when we first entered our room and a finicky "smart" TV. We either got used to the smell or it disappeared when we turned the air on. The TV wouldn't let me sign into my Netflix account. It did however let me sign into Prime. Overall a great stay for the price.

Best place to stay.

This is my second time staying here. Perfect location and I love the rustic looking rooms, adds to the experience of being outdoors. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I will be back. The price is very reasonable too!

The room was very clean. We slept really well. Was cute like a log cabin room. We were able to walk across the road and get food and listen to some really good music. The location is great close to the highway and there is a very quaint coffee shop breakfast place very close. The parking is great.
