    Amazing location and the best motel room we’ve ever stayed in. The room had everything we needed and the most accommodating kitchen for self-service. The beds were comfortable, and the room was very clean. I would love to return for a longer stay.

    Excellent location and an option to rest and relax. Having a restaurant on the property makes your stay much easier so you don't have to worry about anything other than resting. The natural environment is incredible and beautiful.
