Great Management.

The motel has a great view across the lake to Kelly Mountain. We arrived early and the staff worked hard to accommodate us after having hosted a wedding the day before. Reesa and Gerti are wonderful hosts, kind and helpful.

Clean room, checking in was a bit of a pain. I wish there were more blankets so I didnt have to turn up the heat and the water was not warm enough. Couldnt really have hot bath or hot shower, it was only warm. Otherwise very cute and clean. A family could easily stay in this room.
