Small motel with a path access to the lake. Nothing fancy and room was expectedly cozy but everything was clean and comfortable and the owners helpful and friendly. Good location just outside the town. Nice to walk along the lake and enjoy the scenery of the flowers and mountains. Good value for the money.
