Nice renovated roadside motel with beautiful property and pool and friendly, informative staff. Rooms are small as old roadside motel rooms are, but nicely furnished and it was quiet when we were there. Would definitely return!

We made a last minute decision to go to a festival, there weren’t many options so we jumped and booked our weekend here. I’m so happy we did!! Rob was amazing to work with and gave us some amazing info about the area. The grounds were absolutely stunning, the pool was beautiful and our room was perfect!! We definitely found our new place to get away and relax!! Thank you Rob!!

I was going to have a later check-in, Rob called to check on my drive and see how we were and how much longer it was going to be before we were there. He left a local map for us and spent time talking to us to make sure we knew where to go for dinner and had everything we needed. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic! The rooms were cute, very well kept, and very clean. Wonderful place to stay!!

The resort is on nice grounds in a quiet area. However, it is badly in need of a paint job. The walls had weird holes everywhere. The room was very musty and had an odor that opening windows didn’t help. No maid service. No restaurant or breakfast. No coffee available until 9 am.
