Owner was kind, room was very clean, bed was so comfortable, river was just across the street to sit by, swim in, fish, etc. Perfect location, not too far from all the main tourist attractions, but far enough where it was peaceful and quiet. Would definitely stay again.

As others have said, the property is very clean and comfortable, but basic. We were staying over for one night after an evening wedding. It was perfect for our purpose. It is well located for all area attractions. Janice went out of her way to accommodate our earlier arrival and it was much appreciated!
