This motel has been renovated so well! It's updated with a nice deck on the backside to enjoy the Suwannee River and has a wonderful gathering yard on the river for guests to enjoy. They've done a great job with this property and are very friendly. I would recommend staying here to anyone wanting to enjoy the area and the river!

Quaint little hotel on The Swanee River!

Great little motel. Rooms were very clean and stocked with essential items. Pool was nice and even had friends come by to swim and visit. It’s has a beautiful view of the Swanee River . Also has a nice fire pit and setting areas to enjoy the outdoors. Owners were very nice and eager to help with anything. Definitely a nice spot for a good night sleep. We will be back.

Everything was perfect during my stay. Checking in and out was no problem. The staff was there to answer any questions I had. This place is perfect for boating and sking. With the river as your back yard what else could you ask for. I will be returning to the area and stay here.
