We had a great stay in this cabin-like hotel! I would definitely come back. Expedia did not provide check-in instructions, so if you plan to arrive later in the day, I recommend calling ahead to get your reservation details.

I was mistaken, thinking there was a big, gorgeous gathering room so found that disappointing, BUT the room was lovely and clean and exactly as shown in the photo for that room.

My visit was short but I found my room,Lil Jo's Bunkhouse, just as pictured. It was very clean and the bath was well stocked with clean towels and amenities. Though I did not use the patio with grill,I could see it was well equipped with all the grilling essentials. I arrived late and had no problem accessing my room with the supplied door code. The Inn is set back off the main street and was quiet. I would definitely stay there again.

Easy to find and access our room via a door code. We never interacted with staff. Comfortable bed, great shower, and plenty of space. However, the walls are a bit thin which meant we could hear our neighbors.
