Cute and clean

We were backpacking in Big Pines and needed a close place to stay the night before we left. The rooms were clean and cool (it was 95 in Big Pine when we arrived so the AC was welcome). Motel itself was cute & had a resident chicken that we fed before heading in for the night. Host was as nice as they come.

A Wonderful Stay

I had a great experience during my stay here. The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, making it easy to relax right away. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality of the owner—He was incredibly generous and welcoming from day one. You can tell he genuinely cares about their guests and goes out of his way to make you feel at home. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and pleasant place to stay!

A cute motel. The staff was wonderful and the basket with fruit and cookies was a nice touch. Nice outdoor sitting area despite being a small property. Bathroom was a bit small, but they even had toothbrushes and toothpaste packets along with the typical toiletries. We enjoyed our stay because of these special touches.
