Great check in by friendly owners. Our unit was very comfortable and clean. We liked the large coffee pot so we could each enjoy 2+cups of fresh coffee. There was no hair dryer in our unit. That was the only negative for me.

This room is not for everyone. We are tall people and found the short beds, small sinks, and small room size to be uncomfortable. There were few places to put anything. Also, we thought the lake access meant that the property was waterfront. It is not. You have to cross a busy road and walk a considerable distance to reach the lake. The owner presented us with a plethora of rules at check-in, which one never experiences at major chains. It made us feel uncomfortable. Park diagonally? Nobody else did. Pets welcome? Not really. They are prohibited from the main areas and incur an extra fee. Our dog never is a problem, so what does that fee cover? Otherwise, things were fine, and the facility is well-kept and, clean. If you're not very tall and are travelling light, then this might be an ideal space. If you have kids, lots of luggage, and other things it might not. If clean is your only concern, then this is a good choice. The rooms are fairly quiet, but the old floor framing makes it very loud to walk on and people walking around 3 units away sound like they are stomping next door.

We were in #15 and the beds were so hard & uncomfortable that sleeping was difficult. They have no outlets in the bathroom. It’s really an old motel. They have cute cottage decor but it doesn’t make up for the discomfort.
