Stay here often… location is very convenient for what we want to do
Super cute and clean room, friendly staff, gorgeous views from my waterfront room. Everything worked except one side light by the bed, no big deal. Shower diverter installed backwards, just turn to cold setting to get hot water. I will stay here again!
It’s a place to stay. It was clean and the staff were friendly. Affordable and the view from the back patio is beautiful. It’s within walking distance of everything, which was nice. We’d stay here again!
Always nice to stay here. Definitely not updated but that's okay because it's everything you need and always clean. Nice staff and love the area. We will be back.
My husband stays here every year for fishing. It might be a little older, but it's a great place to stay on the lake. It's within walking distance to everything you need.
Reasonably priced basic hotel for an overnight trip. Waterfront room was decently clean and had good air circulation. Check in and check out process was very quick.
