Great motel!

This motel is really nice and so close to a 5 star. But they need a little more investment in basic stuff like paint and drywall. I'd come back for sure - I just want to see them cross the finish line. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, service was great.

We stayed in a one queen bed room. It was small, but nice. Outdated, but clean. Check-in was easy and staff was nice. Cute motel. Really no complaints. Would stay again.

Motel gem

I've never stayed in a motel with cuter decor. It may be older, but location (by water) and price point were great. Appreciated the fridge/microwave. Only wish there had been a way to get coffee or tea before the front desk opened at 8 am. We had to leave early and there were no options in the room itself.

Calm, affordable, clean, lovely view.

Very cute little place, perfect for family setting, a short walk away from the beach, and good places to sit and watch the river at night while you wind down after a long day in the lake.
