Cozy and Clean

We stayed one night with our two dogs. Very clean, thoughtful touches with having an enclosed dog run area with seating, and prompt customer service. Note that there is no staff on site but you do have a phone # for any issues 24/7.

Cute, cozy and affordable

I'm so glad I found this place! My room was very cute and cozy. Very clean and comfortable. It was just the basics, but thats all i needed. It was different because they do virtual check ins and dont have staff on-site, but it honesly made this very easy. If anything, update the take-out menus in the room. They were very old and had incorrect information. Loved this place and i will come back if im ever passing through again!

Great place to stop!

Cute little motel with lovely rooms. Very clean and comfortable. Didn’t meet owners as check-in and continental breakfast are all self service. Food options were adequate. Overall, a great place to stay. Only negative was the shower that was very small. Busy road so kinda noisy in the afternoon.

Cute and cozy

Cute renovated old school motel. Quarters are tight, be warned if you are a group of more than 1 or 2 people. Tiny shower but very clean and very functional setup. Lots of semis and logging trucks all night, pretty close to the highway but we ran the fan on high to give some white noise. Huge backyard area with ATV trail access, great for us traveling with a dog who needed to run after a long car ride!
