The cabin was slightly dumpy, but it was kinda perfect. There were oddities, like the outlets being too far from the things that needed plugged in, but it was everything we needed. Comfortable beds, dishes to use, and extremely helpful staff. It was nice sitting on the porch area in the evening. Very quiet and relaxing.

I hate to leave a poor review because there were some things we liked about this place including its proximity to the river and the nearby covered picnic and stage area. However the sheets on the beds were not clean, and there are some areas where the owners need to reinvest/rebuild a bit such as the sink. It's a decent roadside motel, and the staff are nice.

The place is cute. There is no air conditioning. The floor is uneven. Should have been shored up and supported prior to installing the laminate. The tub leaked, the sink leaked. The "mattress" was super, extra, firm. The handles to the doors were loose. Carpet on the stairs was also loose. The staff there were very friendly and accommodating.

Don't expect a 5 star experience. The rooms are rustic with noisey heaters and appliances. The beds & pillows are fantastic and that's kind of the point. It's a great place to sleep and the price is very good.

It’s fine as a simple lodging. It was the only one I could find that let you bring dogs. Rusty and faded fixtures, no a/c, the staff was never at the front desk or answered the phone but when I did find them they were great. Clean sheets, floors and bathroom just worn fixtures. Fine for camping and fishing or short stopovers.

Our cabin was very cute and comfortable and was very clean. But we had to hang a towel over one window for privacy as the curtain was not big enough. And another curtain had holes torn in it. One blind was also broken up. But it was quite cozy otherwise and comfortable. Beautiful setting and convenient parking right by the cabin. The staff was also friendly and helpful. Our truck would not start in the morning and they offered to help us.
