Nice place and Location. But the rooms are run down and used. Needs to be updated. Smells like it was used for hunting mostly with dogs in the room.

If you give a mouse a cookie.
This was a HORRIBLE experience. At first glance I thought this would be an okay place to stay. Come middle of the night I kept hearing noises but was unsure where it was coming from. Around 6am I finally figured it out. I saw a mouse inside my grocery bag full of snacks. After that I was able to find mouse droppings in the drawers and under the sink. I brought it up with management and at first was given “I’m sorry” as a response. After a phone call to the manager I was VERY rudely given a $15 refund with the manager herself attacking me. DO NOT STAY HERE

This is a well-kept older property. Comfortable rooms, clean and well restored. Convenient to the highway and a reasonable dog fee. The breakfast here is one of the best, with actual homemade food, a welcome change from the big national chains

Have stayed here before; can rely on them for "reliable" service, amenities as advertised, reasonable pricing. They even did check-in at 2 AM (due to time zone change); don't want to make it sound "too good" (we need their available rooms, time to time...). Did I mention their "real" free breakfast buffet and dining area?

The staff here was amazingly friendly. The property was clean, and the rooms were cute. My two teen daughters fell in love with the place when we walked in the room. We loved the homey touches like the quilts and a couple little notes around the room. The homemade cinnamon rolls and egg casserole at breakfast were delicious!

When we first walked in our room i loved it. It was cozy lioking with quilts on bed and very clean. We were in town for a charity motorcycle ride and had been riding in 110 fegree weather all day. The problem occurred at about 3am, inwoke up to use the restroom not feeling well because I got overheated during the ride and that is when we found the toilet did not work at all! The office was closed main building locked up and there was no place to use the bathroom. All night long i had to fill the trashcan up with water and poor it in the toilet to flush it. Finallu at 6am the main office opened and i was able to use the bathroom there. When i told the nice lady at the font desk the issue said said she was sorry and would write the room down to have it checked and that was the end of it. 80.00 for a room with no bathroom is not acceptable.
