At check in we were told they double booked and that I shouldn’t have had a room reserved. Michelle at the front desk found us a room, although my original booking was for an apartment. Room trash was full and there was a bar of used soap in the shower. Fire alarm was not hooked up and just placed on a shelf. We also talked with a local that said the motel is known for squatters. Do not book here!!!

Well, I did not get to stay at the property, but I can review what I seen and experienced at the property. When we got there, there was no one in the office. We called the hotel, from the lobby/entrance, and the phone rang and rang. No answer. Finally, someone in the back of the property was watering, so we approached and asked for assistance. He came to the office, could not help, went to a back house and got someone, she came and she advised that the hotel is fully booked and that Expedia, who we booked through should have never booked us as they are completely booked. They had 1 room with plumbing issues they could see if were repaired enough to give us, but it was not. Dealing with Expedia has been unsuccessful for a refund as this hotel staff will not answer the phone as to confirm that we were unable to stay there. So I am still dealing with trying to get a refund. I can say that the pool was dirty, green murky water, and we had thought before we could not get our reservation that we were not going to use the pool, even though we planned it as it was super hot that weekend. The pictures do not reflect what we saw. Parking is sparse to say the least...The worst is that the entire area we were going to visit, all of the lodgings were booked. We found 1 place that would only accommodate us for the night. So, if given the opportunity in the future, I would not stay at this hotel.

Cute & Rustic
This not a Ritz Carlton and is exactly what you’d expect from a rustic lodge in a small town. It was clean, the front desk was helpful, and it is walking distance from everything. The beds squeak and I could hear the neighbors tossing as I’m sure they could hear me. Wouldn’t choose this for a couples vacation. I would stay solo again.

Nice little property and the people that work there are friendly, a/c was pumping and rooms are as advertised. Just a note...I had tried to contact the lodge for a couple of questions about check in, etc - called, texted and emailed for several days and never received a single reply. Once i was there everything was fine.

Wish i had a better stay
I never received a key for my room had to leave the door un locked was told i would eventually receive a key and I never did. Rude landscaper told me to keep my dog off his grass even though its a pet friendly inn. My wife asked the staff to bring towels up to our room and they never did so she had to go pick them up at the front desk. Needless to say iwe wont stay here ever again

Just okay- room was clean
The room was clean, which was the most important. We stayed for three nights and no one ever came to clean the room, refresh towels, or remove trash. The grounds were acceptable, although there were cigarette butts everywhere. If you’re looking for a quick stop over this place will do, but I don’t think we would stay again.

Be forewarned: this place is a mess. When we arrived at 6:30ish (pm), there was no one at the desk. I rang the doorbell, texted the number on the note left on the desk…nothing. 20 min later there was a line of people wanting to check in. Finally a woman hurried around behind the desk. Said they were double booked but I had a room. However it wasn’t ready (6:30 pm!) and it would be 45 min. We went to kill time at the brewery next door. A man said he had been waiting for his room for an hour and a half. When we came back, she was still trying to find people rooms, couldn’t find keys, our room still wasn’t ready. After a half an hour she said our room would be ready in 10 min. It’s been 30 and we are still sitting out front waiting. Every other room in town is booked. What a mess.
