Our room was wonderfully spacious and we loved the rustic decorations (wildlife and outdoorsy). Restaurants and the lake were several miles away but the flea markets nearby were very interesting. We really enjoyed Bullwinkles. The Haydens

The room was very good for the price. Only complaint as petty as it sounds was the TV remote didn't work correctly and made navigating watching a little difficult.

With a little help, this place could be Great.

Could have been a wonderful room, however. Floors were unswept and ceiling had mold and cobwebs. Otherwise the room was very comfortable and quiet. They have a really great bar next door to the property.

I read the reviews before booking this hotel so I knew what to expect and they were correct. The hotel was clean and the staff was very nice and accommodating. The facilities were showing their age. The beds were hard and yes you need to bring your own pillows. Plastic was still on the mattress which I liked due to being less likely to have bed bugs but my wife found it noisy. I could stay there again but might pick another hotel.

The sink drained slow, bar sink dripped, bug in coffee pot. One of the beds had a board holding the mattress up. Location is great being right off Hwy 60 and liked the rustic look.

Quiet and comfortable.

Room was quiet and clean. Comfortable bed. Breakfast offerings were a bit sparse. There was no soap in the bathroom, but we travel with our own. A bath mat would have been nice too. Overall, it was worth the money for one night.

Excellent choice!!

I was super skeptical about this place because it was slightly out of town and the rate was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised. It was honestly the best place we’ve stayed in a very long time! The room was huge, well decorated, and exceptionally clean! The bed was probably the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve slept on. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again! The only thing that was lack luster was the continental breakfast. There were snack cakey type foods, but I can’t complain.

Loved it!

My room was huge and very clean. There was parking for my Jeep and the trailer I was pulling, which was also great. Dylan provided a great check in experience. The lounge next door is a must! The decor is incredible! Angie the bartender is wonderful, get her brisket sandwich, delicious! This is a rustic hotel, not updated or modern, so if this is not your thing, go elsewhere. I thought it was fantastic! And the price was also super good! Highly recommend.

We liked the room it was very clean and quiet. The bar that is located next to the Hotel was also very nice but so loud that you heard the music in your room. I use to be the housekeeping supervisor at Holiday Inn in Poplar Bluff and so i k ow what it takes to clean the rooms after a stay and the housekeeping was above and beyond expectation!!! The only thing I would change is the website called our room 2 twin beds which it was really 2 Queen. I was worried we wouldn't have enough room for our son and his 2 small children,but it worked out with the beds being Queen.
