If you like a little different place to stay, Two Rivers Lodge is great. Most motels feel alike. The Loge is how drive in motels used to be. The property is very well maintained and has a confortable feel. Not every piece of furniture is alike, but its impecably clean. Everything worked. The location is ideal, halfway between Brison and Cherokee with a lovely river on the property. Great hosts.

This is a solid budget option if you just need a place to sleep. The rooms are clean but definetly outdated, and there are not many extras. A nice bonus is that some rooms have a riverside view, which adds a bit of charm. You can even fish by the banks or sit by the firepit to relax. Overall its a good pick if you care more about price and cleaniness than modern amenities.

Our room was very clean and well maintained, the bed was very comfortable. The owners are on site and very friendly. The pool was not open for the season yet but looked clean and maintained with plenty of chairs and tables. It is a short, 10 minute drive, to shopping and dining. They usually have a bon fire every night under the vented pavillion but there is a burn ban currently in place due to the dry weather so we were not able to experience this but did enjoy relaxing by the riverside. We are looking forward to staying here again.

The bathroom, refrigerator and sink were spotless. It has vintage charm like you are spending the night at grandmas. A lot of the place looks original. The owners are very personable and so down to earth. The grounds have a beautiful river in the back and seasonal pool and fire pit. We will definitely be back when we go up there.

Staff were excellent. Room was clean. Bed could be more comfortable. The seal was missing on the bottom of the door so we had to put a towel to keep the cold wind out.
