Love this place

I love staying here. It is in a pretty country setting, yet convenient to where we want to be. They have easy, no fuss, check-in and out. Just go to your room when you get there and it's ready. Leave when you're ready. The little store and bar are nice.

This was terrible. The hotel is connected to a bar that is open until 10. Our room was right next to the bar. People stayed after close and were super loud a good part of the night. We couldn’t sleep. I do not recommend this place. The room was decent. The tub wouldn’t drain but it was clean. We couldn’t wait to leave tbis place. Housekeeping never answered our call for extra blankets. The girls were inappropriately dressed as we had to go to the bar to check in. Smoke filled. Just overall poor.

Charming and spacious

After a long day on the road, we were delighted to find such a lovely, clean and comfortable cabin awaiting. The high ceilings and knotty pine paneling and pine furniture provide a rustic charm. The large front porch is a real bonus!
