Had a great stay, would recommend :)
Ariana, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff was super friendly and the place felt like a mini home rather than just a hotel room. Everything was clean and would definitely stay here again.

Kerrie, 2-night trip

Edgardo, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The property is in an excellent location.... right in the heart of the village! It is dated, but they have done a few things to update it like new flooring, fresh paint, new couch, nice bed. It was clean, cool, and comfortable for what we needed! We stayed in #5, Polar Bear.
Sondra, 2-night trip

The check in was the easiest I’ve ever experienced. The staff was very friendly & communicated well.

Helen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Location was perfect. Dog friendly room and town. Parking was right outside room. Loved the Jacuzzi tub and the bed was sooo comfortable. Absolutely no complaints, would stay here again.
Sonia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I liked how easily accessible to all the downtown areas it was.
Patrick, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was the perfect place for us for our mountain biking adventure. Location was excellent, walkable, and we rarely had to use our car. The layout of the building is great for minimal noise issues. Although these are older units, the rustic charm was a cool vibe and everything was in working order with no issues at all. Highly recommend!
Kathy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Location is a selling point. Right in the heart of the village. It’s a small property but very spacious. It a little outdated but for the size and location, it was great. Comes with a full kitchen, gas fireplace, parking. Perfect for a family with kids as there was bunk bed available. Portable ac in the living room and a fan in the main room. Your a minute or so out your door to the village.
Alex, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location in the Village
Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent little gem in the heart of The Village and just a short walk down the main drag to Pine Knot Marina and a cute playground for kids. The management company was very responsive and check-in and parking was easy. The unit itself hasnt been remodeled, and has original 1970's sink and wood paneling but they did a great job in keeping it clean and adding charming cabin style decor. They have every amenity including drip coffee maker, toaster, fridge, hair dryer and bathroom toiletries. I would stay here again and highly reccomend!

Danielle, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Check in/out was easy and the staff very friendly and responsive. Room is very spacious and clean. The hotel is at a great location , walking distance from nice restaurants and stores. Everything was great, the only thing it could be update is the cookware/ pans, other than that we loved it and we’ll definitely come back.
Felipe, 2-night trip
