Lovely little spot. Very quiet and a bit hidden. Check in was very quick and the stay was nice. We were just in town for the night, and it was a perfect fit.

The property has a nice gazebo for outside seating. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Other than that this facility needs a lot of TLC and is in poor technical shape.

Our stay was delightful! We called and asked if we could come in a day early since our drive was going quicker than expected. They were more than accommodating and welcomed us! Nice private entrances with a carport! The property is older but that is part of the charm and well kept! Next time we are in the area we will be visiting again! Thank you so much!
