This was a great place to stay after a concert at Soaring Eagle. It was about $100 cheaper than place in Mt. Pleasant and just 20 minutes away. Staff was friendly, and room was spacious. Eady on and off from the highway without the highway noice. We'd stay here again.

Quick Overnight Stay.

Very late arrival but our room was clean and ready. Bad weather in our area and we requested a delayed checkout. They allowed us to stay until noon without a few, which was very kind. The lady who worked in the breakfast nook was super nice and made sure there was enough food and supplies for everyone. Room was a little cold when we arrived but soon warmed up after we turned on the heater. Beds and shower were average but on this visit we just needed a clean bed and shower.
