I had the pleasure of staying in this hotel with my girl friend. What a quaint little motel. The owners were so pleasant and what nice, clean, affordable country rooms! Definitely will stay there again. Actually planning a girl's trip and 7-8 of us will be staying there soon. :)

Me and my wife loved this place. It is cute, cozy and clean. We were looking for a hotel that would fit well on our budget since we just needed it for the night to keep traveling in the morning. We got there at midnight and left at 10am, but we got impressed about how good was the room. We got the one on the second floor with balcony.

This was the first hotel/motel/lodge we stayed in on our 73 day bicycle trip across america. This motel ranks as one of the best we stayed in anywhere in the country. It is family owned and well cared for. This is a hidden gem. I'd recommend this little motel to my closest friends
