The best thing about this hotel is the location! It’s surrounded by nature and absolutely stunning. There is a burger joint next door and it’s only 25 min away from Meeks bay! The rooms are small and cozy. The set up makes it easy to store luggage’s , etc. my only compliant is the rooms do need better cleaning. We had spider webs/spiders on the ceiling. Beds are comfortable! Bathroom is a cute set up. If you don’t mind quaint and cozy this is a good hotel to stay with!

I was actually pleasantly surprised for a no frills lodge, it had a kitchen with fridge and freezer, a Kuerig coffee maker, yes i said it a Keurig like those other hotels with the janky coffee maker and the horrible pouch ground coffee. It was nice to wake up to a nice cup of coffee. TV had nice selection of channels even though I was mostly on the lake but nice to know I can watch TV if I wanted to. Cody did our check in and was awesome, I was so nice to deal with and made you feel at home. The housekeeping staff were also so nice. It is also only minutes away from everything, restaurants, lake, casino, bike riding, it is a great spot to lay your hat. If you are looking to lay your head down for a reasonable price while your spending the day at the lake or the casino, this is the place. Thanks Cody and staff for a pleasant stay.
