This is a beautiful little hotel. The room felt recently renovated and was perfectly clean and nice. The bathtub was really deep, which I particularly liked, being a big guy. Everything was just super nice and I was able to back my Jeep right up by the door to our room. If the weather had been nice, we could have walked to the Fishin' Pond restaurant across the street. It's location is perfect for all the recreation opportunities at Land Between the Lakes. We were there for the Turkey Bay ORV area and to explore. Best of all, the price was an outstanding value. It was probably the best value I have had with a hotel in many years.

This is a hidden little gem. The owners have done a wonderful job keeping this vintage motel in top shape. This is definitely a go to for us. It is convenient to local attractions, the restaurant across the street is great and it is pet friendly. I highly recommend staying here.
