The staff was so kind and the property was charming. It’s a family owned hotel rather than a franchise. We enjoyed overlooking the little stream. The weekend food made to order was delicious. Great experience all around. Mamas chicken kitchen a few minutes away was a great spot for the whole family to eat.

For the price it was good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Check in was fast and easy. The best part of the room was the balcony overlooking the stream. It was quiet and they served breakfast made to order.

Everything was extremely clean, staff was helpful when we had questions. Rooms were spacious and very nice! Only issue I found was that the wifi wouldn’t work for me, but, other than that it was absolutely perfect!

We stayed for 4 nights. It’s an adorable motel in the river. The balcony with river view was the best in the morning. The breakfast cooked to order was absolutely top notch! There was a pool and it was very clean. The room was quiet and peaceful. Location was great also. Gave us that old school motel feel with an updated look. I would definitely stay again!

Nice place, pool needs some attention.,.not very inviting…, made to order breakfast nice…a screen door going out to the balcony would really be nice so that you could leave the door open and get some fresh air in the room as well as listen to the sounds of the water, …all in all nice stay..shuttle convenient!
