My wife, dogs and myself all loved this stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Having such a great area for the dogs was fantastic. Will definitely stay here again. First time staying someplace and never interacting with any staff, different but I liked it.
The room was very spacious and decorated accordingly, Very easy access, Love the virtual office. PRICING.... Was the best price and more than affordable. WE WILL BE BACK MANY MORE TIMES!!
THANKS for a amazing time.
“Breakfast” was nothing much but the room was just what we needed for visiting family in Rapid River. Nice to have the option to bring our cat so she did not have to stay with the local family dogs.
