It's right on the Suwannee River and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Great location for the area.
We were very happy with our stay here. The room was comfortable and clean. SmartTV, refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave all worked great. They made our one night stay more convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would stay again!
Saw this on Motel Rescue and decided to make a weekend of the springs and antique shopping with my husband and daughter. It was a wonderful stay! I wish we could’ve had a balcony with a better view but we will definitely be back!

This place has Old Florida charm. Reminds me of the Motels my family stayed at when I was young. After arriving, we booked an additional night to explore the surrounding areas.
and get the full Florida Experience. M
The location on the river was beautiful & perfect for my husband who loves to fish. The cabin we stayed in was very charming & clean. The staff were all very nice & helpful. We have family (snowbirds) that stay nearby so we will be staying here again!
This motel has been renovated so well! It's updated with a nice deck on the backside to enjoy the Suwannee River and has a wonderful gathering yard on the river for guests to enjoy. They've done a great job with this property and are very friendly. I would recommend staying here to anyone wanting to enjoy the area and the river!
It is a convenient location close to the state park with a wonderful backyard overlooking the Suwannee River. There is a wonderful Sweet shop across the street from the motel and some excellent dining up and down the highway.
Was quick stop on way home. Owner very helpful. Awesome area with river right behind the motel. Room clean, bathroom small but how big do you need it. Wonderful restaurant that we were informed about and food was excellent.
Great little motel. Rooms were very clean and stocked with essential items. Pool was nice and even had friends come by to swim and visit. It’s has a beautiful view of the Swanee River . Also has a nice fire pit and setting areas to enjoy the outdoors. Owners were very nice and eager to help with anything. Definitely a nice spot for a good night sleep. We will be back.
Everything was perfect during my stay. Checking in and out was no problem. The staff was there to answer any questions I had. This place is perfect for boating and sking. With the river as your back yard what else could you ask for. I will be returning to the area and stay here.
