I didn't like having the contact for the motel not on the premises...because we had problems. No TV remote, TV didn't work, partial electrical outage (we had some power) and it all just seemed Mickey Mouse. But, Jaime, who came to fix the remote/TV and the electrical outage (we blew a fuse) was extremely helpful and had great customer skills.The old cabin needs updated.

This is the second winter my husband and I stayed here. It’s such a cute little cottage and the hot tub is amazing. The check in and out process is so convenient. We also love that it’s right across from Circle K so we would walk and get coffee in the morning and sit on the porch and watch the snow fall.

Cute place to stay for couples. Great communication between host and answered all my questions. Also awesome to know that it’s right next to a gas station too, my only issue was the heater. It was old so it creaked when in use but it’ll for sure keep you warm. Other than that I highly recommend to stay here.
