This hotel was a little pricier than most of the places my husband and I stayed at on our two-week trip, but it was probably our favorite place. The hotel has a fun style, and our dinner and breakfast were really yummy. The staff was super friendly, and our room was nice and big with a great bed and shower.

Great hotel, great stay. Highly recommend.

Fantastic hotel, great bar, breakfast and food. Was pleasantly surprised how good it was given it was very rural and seemed in the middle of nowhere. Down the road from a lake that is phenomenal. Staff were great, food was great, free coffee, free parking, nice comfortable beds and big rooms. Highly recommend.
