The room was absolutely pristine and cozy. The weekend breakfast was really good. All of the staff we met was very friendly and helpful. The bathroom was on the small side but it wasn’t an issue. My family would definitely stay here again.

A very cute and simple motel that is conveniently located away from the busy area but just across the street from the free trolley so it was easily accessible. The weekend breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. We enjoyed sitting and watching the water off of our balcony and all of the fireflies in the evening.

I enjoyed my room immensely The bed was so comfortable felt like sleeping like on a cloud. I really enjoyed the patio where you could sit and listen to the creek and look at the wildlife. The shower was a good spray I also took a bath when I first got there with some Epsom salts so I enjoyed the fact I could do both. I didn't take advantage of the coffee at 8:30 but right across the street there was coffee at 7:00 in the morning also a very nice restaurant kitty cornered from the place The proprietor was conscientious and helpful and very welcoming excellent customer service

older style motel. rooms were very clean and some updates. Mike was extremely helpful and we enjoyed our stay as we were far enough from the busy town but trolley stop across the street made it convenient so no need to worry about parking. Breakfast is only on weekends but pancake house across the street. would stay there again.
