Cute, quiet easy to access. Great location with good food and drinks nearby. Watch out for the large hole in the driveway where the lane meets the bridge.

I didn't have too high expectations for this property. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Clean room, comfortable bed, nice shower. Property is nice right off the main strip. Would definitely stay here.

Would have loved it but there were several dead bugs in the room, the beds were pretty uncomfortable, the heat didn’t seem to work properly and the staff was less than helpful. The limestone mine with kayaking was fun. The ark is close so we visited that.

The only negative thing about this location was that it walls seemed thin. You could hear the people in the other rooms. It would be nice to have ice available as well. We enjoyed our stay. I would stay there again. Thank you tjb

Watch out for unauthorized credit charges
When I got to the hotel to check in I was handed a key. I asked about when I pay and they said we charged your credit card 2 hours ago. I did not authorize this charge. The reservation said pay at hotel. I was not giving a receipt and there was no internet service anywhere in the area and no Wi-Fi at the hotel so I could not even see what they charged me. When we got into the room overall it was clean, but there was used towels and washcloth left hanging on the hook in the bathroom. The bed and the pillows were quite uncomfortable.

This was an awesome location. The lodge was very clean. The only complaint was no wifi because the location being in the mountains got no signal for our phones. And this is not a complaint but a suggestion of night stands to charge phones on.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Whereas it is a cute motel, there were a couple of disappointing things. The floor of the room was dirty. My wife wore a brand new pair of white socks and they were black within a few minutes. Second, the foam insulation along the door cheapened the otherwise cute ambiance. Third, the smoke detector was missing.. Finally, there was no internet and zero phone service with our carrier—obviously my issue is not the phone service, but since there was no internet then we were unable to communicate with anyone.
