Loved it!

We loved the "chill" vibes! Very clean with comfortable beds and quiet rooms. They even provided us with cruiser bikes to ride on the trails which are close by. Thank you Rambler staff for the great hospitality!

Great stay for the whole family!

The Rambler was a great spot for my family for the start of our spring break road trip. The rooms are comfy and the downstairs lobby with arcade and a cafe was fun for everyone. We even enjoyed hanging out in the pool area. A great find for all ages!
