Cozy Quarters

Cute rennovated Motor Lodge close to the hot springs. Cozy room with comfortable bed. Nice and clean, but not particularly quiet. If you are planning a romantic get away be aware the walls are very thin. 😉

I loved the little stream that was flowing. I stood in the rain for a few moments to enjoy it. It was right by my room. The room was cozy. Perfect size for me! The outdoor setting area would make a great place to star gaze. The staff were amazing. Very kind.

Clean, comfortable, and classic (and friendly too)

This is a classic motel from a by-gone era! However, the owners have modernized it enough that it is quite comfortable, cozy, and attractive. The bed was dreamy and the room quiet and conducive to a good night’s sleep. Everything was very clean. The owner could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. I would definitely recommend!
