Thoughtful touches throughout
Recently refurbished--just lovely and every detail so thoughtful from toiletries to snacks and books in the room. Comfy bedding and towels too! Perfect little spot for visiting to town or college and the owner and his family are gracious hosts.

An adorable little roadside inn that goes the extra mile in making guests feel welcome. Lots of goodies in the rooms, a plush blanket, secure and decently quiet!

Clean and well run hotel, and Neil at the front desk is very accommodating and professional. Rooms are a bit small for what I am used to, but for a few nights, it was perfect. Rooms are well stocked with all you need, and surprisingly quiet though it's off a busy road. Thank you!

Room was on the smaller side, but super clean and very well-equiped. Inside and outside showed real pride in ownership. I would not hesitate to recommend it and as a matter of fact, I already have.

Fantastic Find!
We were so pleased with this motel! They had imagined every possible need, down to a reading lamp by the bed in case your partner is asleep. It is absolutely charming. The snacks were perfect. Probably most important, the room was spotless. Also, the shower rocked! It was powerful and hot. I would definitely stay here again. It's a beautiful spot in Virginia.

Nice little gem
A real great stay at this cute hotel. The service was excellent and welcoming, the rooms had been newly renovated and were very very clean. Bed was super comfortable. Attention to detail in the decor and the complimentary snacks basket was a nice touch. This is a motel style accommodation so the room are small, but the other pros offset this. There was a little musty smell in our room and the Aircon was a little noisy, but honestly don't hesitate to book this gem so close to the blue ridge! We even extended our stay one night.

Tiny but cute. No breakfast.
WAY overpriced because of college graduation weekend. Tiny room. No breakfast or restaurant. This room is worth maybe $145 per night - they charged me $368 Including tax. Horrible AC unit. It’s a motel, not a hotel. Room is cute and quaint. But did I say tiny?
