Travelocity Verified Review
"It was a beautiful place to stay. The outdoor pool was clean and warm (cleaned every morning). The road to go in was a bit rocky, but well worth it. Lots of trails and outdoor activities. The deck could use some work & stain, also there were no chairs to sit on outside on either your own back deck or the main covered porch. The community bbq for the motel sites barely works and could use a cleaning. The rooms were relatively clean but could use a good dusting. We were able to get late check out, which was wonderful. The parking was an issue for the motel but that was mostly due to the guests inability to park NOT the place itself. We would definitely stay there again!!! I just wish the office was open longer and maybe had some sort of events going on for the campers. And had more to offer in the general office\store. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS THOUGH! Just bring your own chair LOL"
