The hosts were lovely and made some recommendations in the area for food. We didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the patio and firepit due to weather. The room was small but clean and well attended. Perfect overnight stop on our road trip.

Uniquely re-done little motel. Quirky, cute and amazingly comfortable. Beautiful outside areas to relax in, as well. We would have enjoyed staying there longer. Will definitely stay there again.

The property was conveniently located, the garden and area around the lodge had a very natural vibe. The creek that ran through the property was beautiful. The room was clean yet small. It worked for us for one night. The owner was very nice, accommodating and had a lot of information about the area, food, and breweries.
