Kind people at the front desk. The room is large, clean and well appointed. The motel is older but has been well maintained by these new owners. The best in room coffee. Hot water and great water pressure. Linens are lovely and the fuzzy blanket on the bed was perfect on a cold Nov night. Hidden gem.

Great Management.

The motel has a great view across the lake to Kelly Mountain. We arrived early and the staff worked hard to accommodate us after having hosted a wedding the day before. Reesa and Gerti are wonderful hosts, kind and helpful.
