It was a budget motel. Sheets were clean, and I was grateful I wasn't paying $150+ a night somewhere else. The view was great, the smell a bit musty, and the water hot after running a few minutes.

Couldn’t see the lake unless you walked across a busy road. Not a lot of area for dogs but they did have bags for pet food waste. Not a place I would recommend for a long stay just an overnighter.

It was hard to find anybody to help check in or to report problems. No one answered the phone numbers listed on the sign or written on the white board at the front door. (Voicemail was full and therefore i couldn't leave a message. ) When I could find someone to talk to, they were friendly and helpful, but did not look professional (they dressed in pajamas or no shirts). I did like the location and the rustic decor of the rooms.

I'm actually at the Carla's Inn. It's the nicest roadside motel I've ever been to. The owners are very nice people and made room for me when I needed it. If I ever came back to the area I would definetly stay here again.

We arrived to checking and there was a sign on the door...gone to shower...phone numbers to call wich went unanswered. It took us 45 minutes and many calls to get the manager and first she gave us a room that the door won't lock then she gave us a room that the door did lock but you could see outside all around the door. It is very old and not kept up. It appears as though in 2 of the rooms that people are living there. They didn't have the queen bed to were told we would get instead 2 double beds. The manager didn't seem to know the price of the rooms. All in all...shame on you Expedia for even listing this place. Do not stay here!!!!

I wish I would have had more time to hang out at the property because it's gorgeous but it was perfect for a quick night's sleep. The bed was very comfortable. The room smelled a little musty but was clean.
