Motel owners were super nice and room was clean and comfortable. Good location near to different hiking areas and river for swimming/relaxing. No wifi, but that is throughout the area due to it being so small/remote. Would have been nice to have a mini fridge in the room to keep drinks cold. Overall great stay !

The rooms were really nice and the outdoor patio was cool. There is no staff on hand during the week, no office or lobby to speak of, no ice or vending machine, and no fridge. There is a restaurant below that looks really nice but is only open on the weekends, I'm assuming this is what the nice patio is for. I would probably stay again for a night.

Customer Service was great. This location was very clean with a nice cabin feel to it. A restaurant conveniently located below. Nice patio to hang out and play games. Met some awesome people at the motel. Being Father's Day weekend was awesome and the weather was hot. Perfect for swimming at Johnston shut-ins state park about 10min drive. Beautiful area to enjoy time with friends and family. Thank you for the hospitality.
