Blue Moon Resort and Motel

Blue Moon Resort and Motel

10/10 Excellent
"This is an adorable little resort that has regular motel rooms with a Lake view, but also cabins to rent that are right on the lake. This is the kind of place that would be great to stay for a few days. Unfortunately, I was only passing through and got there just before sunset and pulled out right after sunrise. But I stayed there last year and they were extremely friendly and it is a pet friendly motel. So I decided to stay there again this year on my way through. The motel room has a huge balcony that overlooks the lake and it had a gas fireplace for a nice ambience."
