This was an unexpected delight - a motel we found in a search. Lots of room inside and recently renovated. Lots of seating outside including picnic tables to sit and soak up the view, plus they recommended a restaurant in town that was fab.

For an overnight stay Motel Happy Salmon provided a clean comfortable room in a convenient location. The motel is newly renovated in a pleasant style. There is a terrific pub in Canoe Village at the lake, a short walk down the hill from the motel.
