We would go back and stay again

Amazing this is one of the best places we have ever stayed. The owners were so nice. Anything we needed they was so helpful. We had our truck and a trailer that we needed to park so we could ride our trike on the mountain roads. They were so nice to let us have a place to park our truck and trailer. It was a very clean room. We would go back and stay there again.

Not for people with claustrophobia

The room was extremely small for a king bed. Not much walking room. The bathroom was even smaller. Literally had to turn sideways between the sink and wall to get in the small shower. The gentlemen at Check-in was Friendly. Was not dirty dirty but could use a bit more cleaning/freshening

This motel is excellent! One of the best motels we’ve ever stayed in. We booked it for our visit to the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, which was only about a 5 minute walk so super convenient! About 5 minutes to all the stuff in the downtown area as well! The staff here were very friendly and attentive, when we came back to the motel from our railroad trip they had straightened everything up and gave us more towels. The property and the room were also super clean. No complaints!

This is a small little motel that has been redone inside and it is super cute with very nice beds. You can tell it is older but they do a great job with it and the couple who runs it are so nice! We had a great stay. We have been twice now. Plus it’s walking distance to most anything in the town.
