Very friendly staff. Everyone was so sweet with our dog... he was spoiled with treats and loved it! The rooms were very clean as well. The hotel was easy to find and is conveniently located near the highway.

Love the "rustic" atmosphere. Seems like we are I more in woods then in the city. The 2 room suite feels like a real cabin atmosphere.
