I arrived at the hotel at 9:15 pm and no one around. Area was in the country, dark and n9 vehicles around. I called the after hours number and someone got back to me at 10 pm and at this time already got another place to stay. I had to work with the manager at hotels.com to get my money back

Only complaint is the horrible noises coming from the walls all night. Maybe it was the water heater or plumbing issues but it made sleeping difficult at best.

Booked two nights at the Motel but upon check-in was told that the Motel lost water pressure and was placed into a cabin. The cabin was a great "upgrade" however, we didn't bring towels of toiletries. The girl who checked us in said she would get towels but didn't know what toiletries meant. We went to town to get soap, shampoo and conditioner. She showed up later at the cabin with two towels for 2 nights.

Nice stay!
We had a great, albeit brief stay. Great, friendly owners, and we loved having the Cafe/bar right there! The lake was beautiful. The hotel room itself was nice - convenient with a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot. For some reason, the sheets felt sort of sticky -- I've never experienced that before so not sure why. The most inconvenient thing was that the room was cold and while there was an A/C wall unit (which we didn't need to use), I'm not sure that the thermostat on the wall adjusted the heat like we tried to get it to do. They had left an extra blanket though, so we survived. :) Would definitely stay again!

Things were clean and the only things we had to bring along to our cabin were the towels. They had pots and pans, dishes, cooking utensils, ect. Beds were clean and comfortable. The view was wonderful.
